The belt on your vacuum cleaner causes the agitator to rotate and is important
for the effective operation of the cleaner. The belt is located under the bottom
plate of the cleaner and should be checked from time to time to be sure it is in
good condition.
To remove nozzle cover:
Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.
Release the handle by placing your foot on the pedal and pull back on the handle
until it releases from its upright position, then turn over the cleaner and place on
the floor.
Remove the 6 screws located at the nozzle base by using Phillips screwdriver.
Pull and release the nozzle cover from the vacuum cleaner.
To protect the nozzle cover, always place paper under the floor surface any time
the nozzle base is removed.
Carefully remove any residue the may exist in the belt area.
Always unplug the cleaner before cleaning the brush area as agitator may
suddenly restart.
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
To remove belt/clean agitator:
Position hands on the agitator. If the belt is still attached to the agitator, there will
be tension on it.
Carefully lift the left end of the agitator and then lift the right end.
Remove the worn or broken belt from the motor driver shaft and discard used
belt.
Be careful when removing the agitator as the belt tension maybe high.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury from the agitator releasing
quickly and snapping away.
Remove the agitator to check for string and hair build-up.
NOTE: in order to keep cleaning efficiency high and to prevent damage to your
vacuum, the agitator must be cleaned every time the belt is changed.
Cut off any carpet pile, hair or lint entangled around the agitator and remove any
string or debris located near the end caps.
When agitator brushes are worn, the agitator should be replaced.
