5.3 Roller Brush and Belt Maintenance

Warning:

When using the vacuum cleaner, the floor brush may be clogged by hairs and dirt. We recommend cleaning the roller brush and the belt every 2 weeks. Long-term failure to clean may cause malfunction, or even risk of smoke and belt broken.

1. Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner.
2. Carefully turn the vacuum head over to access the roller brush.
3. Use scissors or a brush to remove any tangled hair, strings, or debris from the roller brush.
4. Inspect the drive belt for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
5. Ensure the roller brush spins freely after cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Eureka NEU10AE5, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Loss of Suction: Check if the dust cup is full and needs emptying. Ensure the filter is clean and dry. Inspect the hose and attachments for any blockages.
• Vacuum Not Turning On: Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the circuit breaker if necessary.
• Unusual Noise or Smell: Immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum. Check the roller brush and belt for any obstructions or damage, as prolonged clogging can lead to smoke or belt breakage.
• Poor Dirt Pickup: Ensure the vacuum head is properly adjusted for the floor type. Clean the roller brush and check for blockages in the nozzle.
