CLEANING THE MOTORIZED FLOOR BRUSH
When your motorized floor brush needs cleaning or locks onto
an object, it automatically shuts down to prevent damage to

you to turn off the vacuum and clear blockage immediately.
The light will reset itself once blockage has been cleared and
power has been cycled on/off or vacuum has been locked in the
upright position.
