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, Style U
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 brush roll or the belt pulley because the
buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
