(B) OPERATING PROCEDURES
Your Turbine Powerhead runs off the airflow of your vacuum system. It has no on/off switch. Whenever it is attached to an operating vacuum system, it will be running. No adjustments to the powerhead are necessary for different types of carpeting.
To ensure maximum efficiency of the Turbine Powerhead, make sure that any filters, bags and cleaning hoses in your vacuum system are clean and free of blockage.
Avoid picking up water or spilled liquid with your Turbine Powerhead. The vacuum system is designed for dry pick up only.
(C) CLEANING ROLLER BRUSH
Turn off vacuum system and disconnect Powerhead. Threads, string, carpet fiber, fuzz and similar items may become wound around the beater brush.
These should be removed by unwinding them by hand or carefully cutting with scissors. Keeping the beater brush clean will maintain efficiency.
