How to Replace a Worn Belt
Remove the replacement
belt from the storage
channel.
Remove the door by
removing the hold down
screw located on side of
power head.
Slide the door forward
by prying open with a
screwdriver or coin.
Remove the belt from the
brush roll pulley and the
motor drive shaft.
Loop the new belt over the
motor drive shaft. Place the
opposite end of the belt on
the brush roll pulley.
Rotate the brush roll three
(3) complete revolutions to
ensure that no part of the
belt is overhanging the end
of the motor drive shaft.
Replace the door by
sliding it into the groove
at the bottom of the
housing. Replace the
hold down screw.
WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.
To Adjust or Replace Brush
To determine if the brush is
worn, place a firm straight
edge across the nozzle
opening. If brush bristles
do not extend beyond
baseplate, brush should be
adjusted.
Remove the baseplate by
removing 5 screws. Then,
remove the belt and brush
roll from the housing.
Rotate both bearing assem-
blies at ends of brush roll
to show “old” and replace
in the holding channels in
the housing.
NOTE: The bearing
assembly setting marked
“OLD” has a smooth side.
The one marked “NEW”
has a notch. When
rotating bearings, make
sure both bearing
assembly settings are the
same and face up when
replacing the brush roll.
Reassemble the belt and
the baseplate and check
bristle height above
baseplate at each end of
brush.
If a previous adjustment
has already been made
and bristle height does not
extend above baseplate, a
new brush assembly
should be ordered.
IMPORTANT: Unless
the brush is worn as
indicated above,
both bearings must
be in the “NEW”
position. When
rotating, both
bearings must be in
the “OLD” position.
Unmatched settings
will cause damage
to your machine.
WARNING: Unplug cord from
electrical outlet before servicing.
Rotate and match
bearing assemblies
