Problem Solving Guide
1. Power nozzle warning light
Your power nozzle comes equipped
with a circuit breaker safety system
that protects it from a jammed power
nozzle situation. Common items that
cause jammed brushrolls include socks,
excessive threads, corners of area rugs,
etc. The warning indicator light on top of
the unit (see diagram) will change from
green to red should a jammed brushroll
condition occur.
If the circuit breaker trips:
a. Turn off the power nozzle, disconnect
the hose from the vacuum inlet and
unplug the power cord, if your model
has one.
b. Remove the object preventing the
brushroll from turning.
c. Locate the circuit breaker switch on the
back of the power nozzle and press it
to reset the breaker (see diagram).
d. When the unit is turned back on,
the warning light should be green
and ready to go. If the breaker trips
again, repeat steps a-c to correct the
problem. If this does not correct the
problem, contact your Authorized
Retailer for further assistance.
2. Replacing the brushstrips
(select models only)
You have the ability to replace the
brushstrips without replacing the entire
brushroll on some Riccar power nozzles.
Nozzles with this feature can be easily
identified as they have metal brushrolls.
It’s recommended that the brushstrips
be replaced every other year so that your
nozzle maintains maximum cleaning
performance.
A variety of brushstrips are available
depending on the type of carpet you
own. Please ask your retailer about
which brushstrip is right for your
cleaning application.
