a build-up of debris. Remove
anything wound around the
brush by carefully cutting it
with scissors. The brush roll is
equipped with a raised cutting
guide to make inserting scissors
easier. Avoid damaging or cutting
the bristles. (fig. 13)

the air duct at the bottom of the
main body and remove any debris
or blockages that may be there.
Reattach the motorized brush,
ensuring it clicks into place.
6 Remove the dust cup and use the
flashlight to check the air path
on the spine of the vacuum and
remove any debris or blockages.
Then replace the dust cup.

can be removed from the nozzle.
Using a coin, turn the dial next to
the brush roll access door to the
unlock position. (fig. 14) Remove
the brush roll access door.

square on the opposite side of
the brush roll into the square slot.
(fig. 17b)

wheel side first. Use a coin to
move the dial to the lock position.

cool down for 10 seconds.

the motorized brush or wrapped
around the brush bar.
