and for pits and cracks. To remove the belt, follow step 1 and steps 7-8 of the Base Unit section.
‰

Check the Brushroll Assembly

Spin the roller brush to determine that the turning motion is fluid and smooth without noise or
binding. To remove the roller brush, follow step 1 and steps 7-10 of the Base Unit section.
‰

Check all electrical connections

Use a voltmeter to check voltages in all circuits.
‰

motion of the brush. To remove the Brushroll Assembly, follow step 1 and steps 7-10 of the Base
