Setup

The RD 285 floor brush is designed for universal compatibility with most vacuum systems. Follow these steps to attach it to your vacuum wand:

1. Identify the diameter of your vacuum wand. The included tapered adapter is compatible with 1.25", 1.38", and 1.5" diameter wands.
2. If your vacuum wand matches one of the compatible sizes, insert the tapered adapter firmly into the neck of the RD 285 floor brush.
3. Once the adapter is securely in place, attach the assembled floor brush to your vacuum wand. Ensure a snug fit to prevent loss of suction.

This attachment works with central vacuum systems and most major canister brands, including Miele, Eureka, Bissell, Beam, Nutone, Vacuflo, and Kenmore.

Operating Instructions

General Use

The RD 285 is engineered for seamless transitions between different floor types. Simply glide the brush over the surface you wish to clean. Its design ensures consistent cleaning power on bare floors, hardwood, tile, area rugs, and carpets without needing to switch attachments.

Low-Profile Design

Utilize the ultra-thin, low-profile design to clean under furniture, cabinets, and appliances. The brush head's slim profile allows it to reach tight and low-clearance spaces that standard vacuum heads often miss.

Edge-to-Edge Cleaning

The optimized airflow channels ensure full suction power across the entire 11-inch nozzle width. When cleaning along walls, corners, or baseboards, position the brush head to allow the side channels to capture dust and debris effectively.

Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Wessel-Werk RD 285 floor brush, regular cleaning is recommended:

• Periodically inspect the brush head for any accumulated debris, hair, or lint.
• Use a soft cloth or brush to remove any obstructions from the suction channels and the underside of the brush.
• Wipe the exterior of the brush with a damp cloth as needed. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your RD 285 floor brush, consider the following:

• Reduced Suction: Check that the adapter is securely attached to both the brush head and the vacuum wand. Ensure there are no blockages in the brush head's suction channels or your vacuum hose.
• Improper Fit: Verify that your vacuum wand diameter is within the compatible range (1.25", 1.38", or 1.5") and that the tapered adapter is correctly inserted.
