Bottom plate brush
Periodically, check the Bottom
Plate Brush to see whether or not
bristles have become worn. Put
the Surface Selector Lever in the
“Bare Floor” position. Place a
straight edge across the brush
opening to check the length of
the bristles. The bristles should
extend beyond the bottom plate,
or more.
How to replace the
bottom plate brush
Disconnect cleaner from
electrical outlet and
disconnect power nozzle from
extension wand.
Put the Surface Selector Lever in
the “Carpet” Position. This will
allow for easier removal of the
brush. Turn power nozzle over.
Remove bottom plate by
unscrewing the 2 Phillips head
screws at the back of the nozzle.
Lift plate off to release from
nozzle housing.
Turn inside of the bottom plate
up. Carefully slide brush out of
holders.
With the Surface Selector Lever
still in the “Carpet” position, slide
new brush into holders one at a
time supporting the holder as you
slide in the brush. Center brush in
bottom plate opening by sliding
brush in holders as necessary.
