Periodic Maintenance
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord
before periodic maintenance. Never operate the
vacuum cleaner without the dustbag/Smartbox
or fi lter assembly in place.
Brush Roll
The brush roll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet pile.
Remove hair and threads from the brush roll so it continues
brushing the carpet. To maintain the most effi cient cleaning,
the bristles must touch the carpet.
Brush Roll Belt
The brush roll belt turns the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and
comb the carpet pile. Check the belt regularly to be sure it is in
good condition. Replace the belt if it stretches, cracks or loses
tension. Cut away any hair or threads wound around the brush
roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt
to rotate unevenly.
