How To Maintain
The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,
check the bag, belt, and brush roll often.
Brush Roll
The brush roll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. 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 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 brush roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
