enough tension on the belt to allow that side of the agita-
tor to return to the nozzle housing slot.

assembly.

assembly firmly into the slots on each end of the nozzle

rubs and to check for correct assembly.

1. The agitator brushes should be replaced when the
brushes are worn. Brushes should be checked by holding
a card across the lower plate. If the bristles on the agitator
assembly do not touch the card you should replace all the
brushes for best cleaning results.
