Brush Roll
The brush roll turns to sweep and comb the carpet nap. Keep the brush roll free from hair and threads so it will continue
cleaning. When the bristles of the brush roll no longer touch a piece of cardboard held across the bottom plate, the brush
roll is ineffective because the bristles no longer touch the carpet nap. To maintain the most effective cleaning, install a new
brush roll.
Brush Roll Belt and Light Bulb
The brush roll belt on the motorized nozzle drives the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. The belt should
be checked regularly to be sure that it is in good condition. Replace the belt if it is stretched, cracking, or slipping. Cut away
any hair or thread wound around the brush roll or belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
How to Replace Worn Belt or Light Bulb
