Removing the Brushroll
WARNING! To Reduce the Risk of
Electrical Shock or Injury from Moving
Parts, Turn the Vacuum Off and Unplug it.
Your brushroll may need to be removed at
times to cut threads that have become
tangled around the brushroll or to replace the
belt (see Replacing the Power Nozzle Belt).
To remove the brushroll, turn the unit over
and take off the metal bottom plate by
first unscrewing the two bottom plate
screws located by the rear wheels (Fig. 1).
Remove the belt cover guard and pull
the brushroll out (Fig. 2).
To reinstall the brushroll, reinsert the
brushroll back into the unit (make sure
the belt is attached properly). Next,
insert the belt cover guard. Then, place
the metal bottom plate back onto the
unit (insert the front end of the bottom
plate first). Re-insert the two bottom
plate screws and secure.
Replacing the Power Nozzle Belt
To replace the power nozzle belt, you
must first remove the brushroll (see
"Removing the Brushroll"). Then locate
and discard the broken belt (Fig. 3). To
install the new belt, locate the power
nozzle motor pulley and loop the belt
around it. Place the other end of the
belt around the brushroll making sure
the belt is seated in the "belt groove"
of the brushroll (Fig. 4).
