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 vacuum. 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.
NOTE: To check the belt, while the unit is
turned on turn the unit upside down and apply
pressure with foot to the brush roll. If the brush
roll stops replace the belt. (See Figure 18)
