Setup and Installation

Replacing your vacuum's brushroll is a straightforward process. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power outlet before proceeding with any installation or maintenance.

Prepare the Vacuum: Lay your Shark vacuum cleaner down on a flat surface, exposing the brushroll housing.
Remove Old Brushroll: Locate the existing brushroll. Depending on your specific Shark model, there may be latches or screws securing it. Carefully unlatch or unscrew to release the old brushroll.
Clean Housing (Optional but Recommended): While the brushroll is removed, take the opportunity to clean any accumulated debris, hair, or dust from the brushroll housing area.
Install New Brushroll: Align the new Qwick brushroll with the designated slots in the vacuum's head. Gently snap or slide it into place until it is securely seated. Ensure the ends are properly engaged with the vacuum's drive mechanism.
Secure Brushroll: Re-secure any latches or screws that were removed in step 2.
Test: Once installed, plug in the vacuum and briefly turn it on to ensure the new brushroll spins freely and correctly.
