ADJUSTING THE BRUSH ROLL HEIGHT
The Brush Roll bristles wear away after long periods of use.
This reduces cleaning efficiency.
However, the ends of the Brush Roll are adjustable, so you can
extend the bristles, allowing the brush to work like new again.
The Brush Roll on a new Ultimate G has three settings: one
notch, two notches and three notches. The greater the number
of notches, the farther the bristles are extended. Use the one
notch (1) setting for delicate carpeting such as berber. Use the
two-notch (2) and three-notch (3) settings to extend the bristles
to compensate for bristle wear. ➤

Release the belt tension by using the L-shaped handle
on the Belt Lifter
(clockwise) until the green arrows line up.
Unlock the two latches on the rear of the Power Nozzle to
remove the Rug Plate
Then lift the brush out of the nozzle. ➤
3
Rotate the plastic Brush Roll ends to the 1, 2 or 3-notch
settings as desired. The greater the number of notches,
the farther the bristles are extended.
When viewed from the top, rotate the plastic Brush Roll ends
to the side with the appropriate number of notches visible.
Make sure both plastic Brush Roll ends are set to the same
number of notches. ➤
Keep the entire Brush Roll and belt track clear of lint, string,
hair and other fibers. This will allow the Brush Roll to perform
to its fullest potential.
