How To Maintain
Brush Roll Belt (for models with a brush roll)
The brush roll belt on the carpet shampooer/extractor drives
the brush to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. Check
the belt regularly to be sure it is in good condition. Replace
the belt if it is stretching, cracking or slipping. Cut away any
hair or thread wound around the brush roll or the belt pulley
because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
1. Tip the carpet shampooer/extractor back to place the
handle on the floor (See Figure 1).
2. Position yourself in front of the carpet shampooer/
extractor’s base and remove the screw from the right
side of base (Figure 2).
3. Lift off the belt cap.
4. Lift brush roll out and remove worn belt.
5. Squeeze the sides of new belt together and place it
around the motor pulley. Squeezing the belt will aid in
placing the belt on the pulley.
6. Place the pulley end of brush roll inside the belt.
7. Align brush roll end caps with openings in base.
8. Push down on the brush roll to secure it (Figure 3).
9. Rotate the brush roll until the belt is in place.
10. Replace belt cap and secure with screw.

* When reinstalling the brush roll, check the end caps for correct alignment into the base of the unit. Sometimes
the squares of the end caps become off-center. By holding one end and turning the other, realignment can
be corrected.
