Brush Roll
The rotating brush roll sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Keep the brush roll free
from hair and threads so it will continue brushing. When the bristles of the brush roll no
longer touch a straight edge held across the bottom plate, the brush roll is ineffective
because the bristles no longer touch the carpet nap. To maintain the most effective
cleaning, replace the wood brush roll. Install new brush strips on the chromed steel
brush roll (refer to instructions).
