Brushroll
The brushroll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Remove
hair and threads from the brushroll 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 brushroll.
Brushroll Belt
Brushroll Performance Window (FIG. 19). To check condition
of the belt watch to see if white dots on the belt are moving
through the performance window (FIG. 19a). This indicates
the brushroll is turning.
The brushroll belt turns the brushroll to agitate, sweep, and comb
the carpet nap. 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 brushroll or the
belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate
unevenly.
NOTE: Care should be taken when vacuuming rugs to
ensure that edges and fringes do not snap the
drive belt and stop the rotation of the brush roll.
