Maintenance and care
9. Place one end of the drive belt over motor
pulley and the other end over the brush in
the space between the bristles. Ensure the
grooves on the belt line up with the grooves
on the motor pulley and the brush.
10.
Push the belt side of the brush down into the
slots on the side and then push the non-belt
side into the slots.
11. Reposition brush cover and screws. Tighten
screws securely.
12. Plug in vacuum and make sure motor turns on.
Brush reset
The brush power switch will blink 5 times and
the motor will shut off if the rotating brush is
jammed. To reset the brush, turn the cleaner
off and unplug from the outlet. Remove the
obstruction. The brush will automatically reset
when the cleaner is plugged in and turned
back on.
Cleaning clogs
Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a clog
in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice a change in
the sound of the motor or a reduction in the
spinning action, check for clogs.
1. Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
2. Empty dirt container.
3. Check Tank for build up or clogs.
4. Remove the inner cyclone and check suction
inlets for a clog.
5. Grasp the hose handle and lift to separate
from the suction opening. Check for a clog in
the base or the hose.
To remove clogs from the hose base:
6. Recline handle and turn vacuum cleaner
over so bottom side is up. Locate and turn
the quick release tabs on the foot hose cover
as shown and pivot the cover out to remove.
7. Pull foot hose straight up to remove from
foot base. Turn the vacuum back over,
straighten the foot hose and unclog with a
long, narrow object such as a broomstick.
