Brush Roll
The brush roll turns to sweep and comb the carpet nap. Keep the brush roll free from hair and threads so it will
continue cleaning. When the bristles of the brush roll no longer touch a piece of cardboard 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, install a new brush roll.
Brush Roll Belt and Light Bulb
The brush roll belt on the motorized nozzle drives the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. The
belt should be checked regularly to be sure that it is in good condition. Replace the belt if it is stretching, cracking,
or slipping. Cut away any hair or thread wound around the brush roll or belt pulley because the buildup could
cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
