wheels. If they are left uncleaned, the floor surface may be damaged.
4. Always attach the main brush and its cover when using this product.
5. Do not lubricate the movable parts of the main brush, etc. Doing so can cause
plastic parts to break.
6. For use on a delicate floor surface, it is recommended to replace with the
