OPERATION
5. Warning Lamp
Your power brush comes equipped with a
circuit breaker safety system that protects the
power brush due to a jammed power brush
situation. Common items that cause jammed
brushrolls include socks, excessive threads,
corners of area carpets, nails, etc. The warning
indicator lamp on top of the unit (see diagram
8) will change from green to red should this
condition occur.
If the circuit breaker trips:
a. Turn off the vacuum cleaner and power brush
then unplug the power cord.
b.Remove the object preventing the brushroll
from turning.
c. Locate the circuit breaker switch on the back of
the power brush and reset the breaker (see
diagram 9).
d. When the unit is turned back on, the warning
light should be green and ready to go. If the
circuit trips again, repeat steps 1-3 again to
correct the problem.
If this does not correct the problem, contact
your authorized vacuum cleaner dealer for
further instructions.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
1. Removing the Brushroll
IMPORTANT: Before performing any
maintenance work on the power brush, always
unplug the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the
wand.
Your brushroll may need to be removed at
times, for example, to cut out excessive
threads or to replace the belt (see "Replacing
the Bulb").
To remove the brushroll, turn the unit over and
lift off the metal bottom plate by first
unscrewing the two bottom plate screws
located by the rear wheels (see diagram 10).
Pull out the belt cover guard (see diagram 11)
and pull the brushroll out.
To reinstall the brushroll, reinsert the brushroll
back into the unit (make sure the belt is
attached properly). Next, insert the belt cover
guard. Then, place the metal bottom plate
back onto the unit (insert the front end of the
bottom plate first). Re-insert the two bottom
plate screws and secure.
