Turbobrush features
The Turbobrush is operated by the suction power of the vacuum cleaner. It has a rotating roller brush which is very effective at vacuuming up thread, hair and fluff.
Recommended use (dia. 01)
When using the Turbobrush please also observe the warning and safety instructions in your vacuum cleaner instruction manual.
This Turbobrush is particularly suitable for vacuuming upholstery, mattresses, car seats and carpeted stairs.
It is also important to observe the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning and care instructions.

Fitting the Turbobrush

Connect the Turbobrush to the handle or suction tube on your vacuum cleaner depending on how you wish to use it.

Using the Turbobrush

To achieve the best effect, pass the Turbobrush slowly backwards and forwards over the surface being vacuumed.

Maintenance

**Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply for cleaning and maintenance work on the Turbobrush. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.
Removing threads and hairs (dia. 02 -04)**

Cut any threads or hairs that have become entangled on the roller brush with a pair of scissors (dia. 02).
Then run the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the bits.
For more obstinate tangles or blockages inside the Turbobrush, the cover can be opened. Any large particles can then be easily removed (dia. 03).
Twist the connector until the release button is located in the centre of the slot A.
Then press release button B and pull the connector away from the Turbobrush C.
Open up the brush compartment as far as you can and then remove any stubborn soiling from the compartment interior and from the roller brush (dia. 04).
Finally close the cover to the brush compartment and push the connector back into position over the release button.
