Kirby Sentria Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Getting Started
USING THE BELT LIFTER (cont)
1
To use the Belt Lifter, you must first raise the Headlight
Hood (21). >
2
Flip out the handle on the Belt Lifter (20). Use it to turn
the Belt Lifter fully to the left (counter-clockwise) until
it stops and the red arrows line up. This stretches the
belt and lifts it off the motor shaft. Return the handle on the
Belt Lifter to its closed position.
If you are using your Sentria
system as a straight suction
cleaner, simply lower the Headlight Hood. The Brush Roll is
now disengaged and will not rotate when the power switch is
turned ON. >
3
The belt will be stretched to the top of the nozzle as
shown. >
4
To re-engage the belt so the Brush Roll rotates, simply
raise the Headlight Hood and use the handle to turn the
Belt Lifter fully to the right (clockwise) until the green
arrows line up. Then lower the Headlight Hood.
The Brash Roll will now rotate when the Power Switch is
turned ON.
NOTE: The belt should not be stretched when stored for
an extended period. Make sure the green arrows line up
for storage. >
5
Your Sentria system is equipped with a Brush Roll
Performance Indicator Light (7), located on the top
right side of the Power Nozzle. The purpose of this
light is to show if the Brush Roll is rotating properly.
If the Brush Roll Indicator Light flashes intermittently or
does not come on when using the Power Nozzle, the Brush
Roll Belt may not be working properly. Either the Belt is not
engaged or may need to be replaced.
To replace the Brush Roll Belt, also called the Power Nozzle
Belt, see Page 55.
