CHANGING THE POWER NOZZLE BELT
After extended use, the Power Nozzle Belt on your Sentria® system
may become stretched and worn causing the belt to slip. (See page 10 -
Brush Roll Performance Indicator Light.) If this condition exists,
simply replace the old belt with a new one.
NOTE: Use only approved Kirby® belts.
To change the belt, remove the nozzle from the Sentria system.
Then release the belt tension by using the handle on the Belt Lifter
 20 to turn it all the way to the right (clockwise) until the green
arrows line up. ➤
Unlock the Rug Plate  26 by unhooking the two latches on the rear
of the nozzle. ➤
