STORAGE
After using your pile brush always empty the sand
trap and check the refill bag and cord.
Wrap the cord around the cord rest and the
handle.
When not in use, do not leave weight of
machine resting on brush. Place a block or the
corraguted material from shipping, under the
machine away from brush.
(It will flat-spot its fibers, which causes vibration, poor clean-
ing and premature brush replacement.)
Avoid wet carpeted areas. (This is not good for
the natural fiber brush, vacuum bag and motor, or its drive
system.)
Store the pile brush in a dry area.
