Brush Roll Maintenance

The brush roll may accumulate debris such as strings, hair and fibers. This type of debris can wrap around the brush and diminish its ability to clean effectively.
The Lift-Off 2-in-1 Cyclonic features two specialized brush rolls which can be easily changed to optimize cleaning on different floor types. Use the multi- surface brush roll for general cleaning on hard floor and area rugs, or switch to the hard floor brush roll for improved cleaning on hard floor surfaces.

To remove the brush roll

1. Turn power OFF (O). Remove foot assembly from unit and turn over to access the brush roll.
2. Use a coin to unlock the yellow locking tab and lift up to free the brush.
3. To remove the brush roll, simply lift the brush out of the brush chamber.
4. Clean as needed and replace, or switch the brush as desired.
5. Place the clean brush roll back into the brush chamber by aligning the non-belt side so it’s seated within the nozzle, then pivot the belt side down into position.
6. Replace the locking tab and use a coin to lock in place. Attach the foot assembly back to the unit.
   

Brush roll reset:

If larger debris becomes lodged in the foot of the unit and the brush roll shuts off, turn the unit off and remove the obstruction. Wait approximately 15 seconds for the motor to cool down before turning back on. Brush will function again after allowing time to cool down
