Maintenance & Operating Advice

• Clearing Brushroll Obstructions: If the jam indicator light signals a stall, turn off system power, clear tangled threads or rug fringe, and reset the motor before continuing.
• Replacing Brushstrips: Replace the four individual bristle strips every 1 to 2 years as they wear down to keep carpet agitation active without replacing the entire chrome roller.
• Cord Routing Along Wand: Keep the power cord secured in the wand cord guide slots during height adjustments to prevent cord pinching.
• Model Verification: Check the diameter of your central vacuum hose handle and power cord plug format before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
