Getting Started
USING THE BELT LIFTER (cont)
To use the Belt Lifter, you must first raise the Headlight
Hood  21 . ➤
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. ➤
The belt will be stretched to the top of the nozzle as shown. ➤
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 Brush 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. ➤
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 work-
ing 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
