2. How do I replace the ProTeam Brush Roller Clutch Assembly?

   • Replacing the clutch assembly generally requires removing the brush roller and other components of the vacuum cleaner. You may need screwdrivers or other tools depending on the model. If you’re not confident, it’s recommended to have a professional do the replacement.

3. Can I repair my old clutch assembly instead of replacing it?

   • The clutch assembly is a mechanical part, and repairs can be difficult due to the specific components involved. Typically, replacing the clutch assembly is recommended rather than trying to repair it.

4. What happens if the clutch assembly breaks?

6. How do I know if my clutch assembly is faulty?

   • Signs of a faulty clutch assembly include the brush roller not turning when engaged, unusual noises, or the vacuum losing suction power. If these symptoms are present, the clutch assembly might be the cause.
