CLEANING THE MOTORISED FLOOR BRUSH

When your motorised 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

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. 28)
Make sure you are working in a well
lit area and use a flashlight to help
search for blockages.

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.
