Check the Soft roller cleaner head

Step 1 - Removing the cleaner head from the wand

  • Disconnect the cleaner head from the wand by pressing the release button.

 

Step 2 - Unlocking the brushbar end cap

NB: Beware of sharp objects when checking for blockages.

  • If you cannot clear an obstruction you may need to remove the brushbar.
  • Turn the cleaner head upside down so the underside of the cleaner head is facing you.
  • Use a coin to unlock the fastener marked with a padlock.

 

Step 3 - Removing the brushbar

NB: This product has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling the brushes.

  1. Rotate the end cap to the open position.
  2. Gently slide the large brushbar away from the cleaner head.
  3. Remove the end cap from the brushbar.

 

Step 4 - Clear any debris

  • Carefully clear any debris from the brushbar.

 

Step 5 - Refitting the brushbar

  1. Slide the large brushbar back onto the cleaner head, around the motor.
  2. The end cap should be in the open position as shown.
  3. Once in place, rotate the end cap back into the closed position.

 

Step 6 - Locking the brushbar end cap

  • Close the fastener by turning a quarter turn clockwise. Ensure that the fastener is fully turned and the base plate and the brushbar is secure.
  • Re-fit the cleaner head and test the machine.
