1. Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the proper installation, function, and maintenance of your replacement brushroll for compatible Shark vacuum cleaner models. This brushroll is designed to effectively agitate carpet fibers and sweep debris into the vacuum's suction path, ensuring optimal cleaning performance.
2. Setup and Installation
The brushroll is a key component for your vacuum's cleaning effectiveness. Proper installation ensures optimal performance and longevity of the part.
2.1 Before Installation
- Ensure your vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power outlet before attempting any installation or maintenance.
- Place the vacuum cleaner on a clean, flat surface.
- Refer to your specific Shark vacuum cleaner's user manual for detailed instructions on how to access the brushroll compartment.
2.2 Installation Steps
- **Access Brushroll Compartment**: Typically, this involves flipping the vacuum head over and unlatching or unscrewing a cover plate to expose the brushroll.
- **Remove Old Brushroll**: Carefully lift out the old brushroll. Note the orientation of the end caps and how it sits in its housing.
- **Clean Compartment**: Remove any accumulated hair, debris, or obstructions from the brushroll compartment and end caps.
- **Insert New Brushroll**: Align the new brushroll (eelhoe brand) with the designated slots or bearings in the vacuum head. Ensure the end caps fit securely into their respective positions. The brushroll should spin freely when correctly installed.
- **Secure Cover**: Reattach the cover plate and secure any latches or screws that were removed.
3. Operating the Brushroll
The brushroll operates automatically when the vacuum cleaner is powered on and engaged in cleaning mode. Its primary function is to:
- **Agitate Carpets**: The bristles rotate to loosen dirt and debris embedded in carpet fibers.
- **Sweep Hard Floors**: On hard surfaces, the brushroll sweeps loose particles into the suction path.
- **Maintain Suction**: A clean, properly functioning brushroll contributes to consistent airflow and effective suction.
Ensure the brushroll is free from obstructions before and during operation to prevent damage to the vacuum or the brushroll itself.
