How To Maintain
The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,
check the dust cup, belt, and brush roll often.
Brush Roll
The brush roll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet pile. Remove hair and threads from the brush roll so
it continues brushing the carpet. To maintain the most efficient cleaning, the bristles must touch the carpet.
To test the bristle length, hold a ruler against the underneath side of the cleaner. If the bristles no longer
touch the ruler, replace the brush roll.
Brush Roll Belt
The brush roll belt turns the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet pile. Check the belt regularly
to be sure it is in good condition. Replace the belt if it stretches, cracks or loses tension. Cut away any hair
or threads wound around the brush roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate
unevenly.
How To Replace Brush Roll Belt
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing belt. Belt pulleys can
become extremely hot during normal use. To prevent injury, avoid touching the motor
pulley when checking the belt.
