Make sure you are working in a well
lit area and use a flashlight to help
search for blockages.
CLEANING THE MOTORIZED FLOOR BRUSH
When your motorized floor brush needs cleaning or
locks onto an object, it automatically shuts down to
prevent damage to your lifetime belt. The indicator
light will illuminate red warning you to turn off the
vacuum and clear blockage immediately. The light will
reset itself once blockage has been cleared and power
has been cycled on/off or vacuum has been locked in
the upright position.
1 Detach the motorized floor brush from the portable
Lift-Away
®
canister.
2 Inspect the opening underneath and the rotating
brush. If a build-up of debris is present, remove it.
Carefully cut anything wound around the rotating
brush with scissors. Avoid damaging or cutting the
bristles. (Fig. 31 )
CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES
Blockages may cause your vacuum to overheat and
shut down. To prevent this from happening, check
potential blockage areas after heavy use or if you
detect a loss of suction or poor cleaning performance.
