The seller wrote that the factory assembled these nozzles from parts on-hand. So your explanation is reasonable. Thanks. Still need to know what brush roll is correct for this nozzle. Again, thanks. Joe |

Get a brush roll for a G3 or G4 with the magnet on the proper side to match the nozzle and you'll be in business. Flipping your brush roll around won't solve the problem because the bristles will be angled the wrong way and it won't pick up debris properly.
They switched sides for the LED beginning with the G5 but I've heard some early G5's still had the LED on the other side. Guess they were using up some G3/G4 nozzles they had on hand. |
