vacuum by pulling up on the tab and pulling the
cover away from the vacuum. (Fig. 22)

water with the dirty side face down until the water
runs clear. (Fig. 24)

CLEANING THE MOTORIZED FLOOR BRUSH

When your motorized 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 Detach the motorized floor brush from the portable
Lift-Away
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. 27)
