Operating/Maintenance Tips
ADJUSTING THE BRUSH ROLL HEIGHT FOR
MAXIMUM CLEANABILITY
The Brush Roll bristles wear away after long periods of use.
This reduces cleaning efficiency.
However, the ends of the Brush Roll are adjustable, so you can extend
the bristles, allowing the brush to work like new again.
The Brush Roll on a Sentria® system has three settings: one notch,
two notches and three notches. The greater the number of notches,
the farther the bristles are extended. Use the one notch (1) setting for
delicate carpeting such as berber. Use the two-notch (2) and three-notch
(3) settings for maximum cleanability on all other carpets or to extend
the bristles to compensate for bristle wear. ➤
Remove the Power Nozzle  25 from the Sentria system. ➤
Release the belt tension by using the handle on the Belt Lifter 
20
to turn it all the way to the right (clockwise) until the green arrows
line up.
Unlock the two latches on the rear of the Power Nozzle to remove
the Rug Plate  26 .
Then lift the brush out of the nozzle. ➤
Rotate the plastic Brush Roll ends to the 1, 2 or 3-notch settings as
desired. The greater the number of notches, the farther the bristles
are extended.
When viewed from the top, rotate the plastic Brush Roll ends to the side
with the appropriate number of notches visible. Make sure both plastic
Brush Roll ends are set to the same number of notches. ➤
