and for pits and cracks. To remove the belt, follow step 1 and steps 7-8 of the Base Unit section.
Check the Brushroll Assembly

binding. To remove the roller brush, follow step 1 and steps 7-10 of the Base Unit section.
Check all electrical connections
Use a voltmeter to check voltages in all circuits.
Clean the Brushroll Assembly
Clean the Brushroll Assembly of all lint, dirt, and hair, or anything that could restrict the turning
motion of the brush. To remove the Brushroll Assembly, follow step 1 and steps 7-10 of the Base
