Step 2 - Unlocking the brushbar end cap

  • If you cannot clear an obstruction you may need to remove the brushbar.
  • 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.

  • Gently slide the brushbar away from the cleaner head.

 

Step 4 - Clear any debris

  • Carefully clear any debris from the brushbar.

 

Step 5 - Refitting the brushbar

  2. Once in place, rotate the end cap back into the closed position.
  3. Close the fastener by turning a quarter turn clockwise. Ensure that the fastener is fully turned and the brushbar is secure.
  4. Re-fit the cleaner head and test the machine.
