7. Rotating Brushbar: Removal &
Replacement
The motor switches off automatically if the brushbar is
blocked during operation by vacuuming up foreign
objects, or if strands of carpet are wrapped around it.
IMPORTANT: Switch off the vacuum cleaner and
unplug it from the wall outlet before servicing.
1. Lay the vacuum cleaner down on a flat surface and
turn over to expose the brushbar. Using a pair of
scissors, cut through any threads or hairs caught by
the brushbar that have wrapped around the guides
(Fig. 7/1).

2. There is an automatic system which cuts off the power
supply if the brushbar gets clogged up. After cleaning
the brushes, wait for 2 minutes then plug the vacuum
cleaner into the wall outlet and press the reset button
(Fig. 7/2) before pressing the power on/off switch.
