MAINTENANCE AND CARE
2. Replacing the Power Nozzle Belt
IMPORTANT: Before performing any
maintenance work on the power nozzle,
always unplug the vacuum cleaner and
disconnect the wand.
To replace the power nozzle belt, you must
first remove the brushroll (see "Removing the
Brushroll"). Locate and discard broken belt.
To install new belt, locate the power nozzle
motor pulley and loop the belt around it (see
diagram 12). Place the other end of the belt
around the brushroll making sure the belt is
seated in the "belt groove" of the brushroll (see
diagram 13). Insert the brushroll back into the
brushroll tray and place the belt guard back
into position (see diagram 11). Place the
metal bottom plate back onto the unit (insert
the front end of the bottom plate first). Re-
insert the two bottom plate screws and secure.
3. Replacing the Bulb
IMPORTANT: Before performing any
maintenance work on the power brush, always
unplug the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the
wand.
Turn the power brush over and remove the
bottom plate by first unscrewing the two
bottom plate screws located by the rear
wheels (see diagram 10). Locate and remove
the two top cover screws (see diagram 14).
Turn the power brush back over, push the
power brush neck flat, and remove the top
cover (see diagram 15). Simply pull the bulb
out (no twisting) and reinsert a factory-
authorized bulb. Place the top cover back on
the unit, turn the machine over and re-insert
the two top cover screws. Reinstall the bottom
plate.
