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

then  plug  the  vacuum  cleaner  into  the  wall  outlet  and  press  the  reset 

button (Fig. 7/2) before pressing the power on/off switch.
