PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

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 cleaner. If the bristles
no longer touch the ruler, replace the brush roll.
Brush Roll Belt, Style U
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.
