You should check your vacuum cleaner’s Rotating
Floor Brush and Drive Belt regularly for wear or
damage. You should also clean the brush and brush
ends of strings, hair, and carpet fibers. These can
wrap around the brush and hamper its ability to
effectively clean your carpet. Also remove any debris
that has accumulated under the brush cover.
