(Continued)
Remove the bottom filter
cover by grasping the right
edge and pivoting to the left.
Bottom Filter Maintenance:
Check the bottom filter frequently. For optimum performance,
replace bottom filter every 12 months.
Replace filter into unit.
Replace bottom filter cover
by pivoting back onto cleaner
from left to right.
Pull filter frame from unit by
pulling on tab in center.
On some models, remove
filter pad and shake to remove
excess dust. If necessary
this pad can be cleaned
by vacuuming with another
cleaner.
2. Remove the two screws from the top of the hood.
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug
the electrical cord before periodic
maintenance. Never operate the vacuum
cleaner without the dust bag or filter
assembly in place.
Brush Roll
The brush roll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet nap.
Remove hair and threads from the brush roll so it continues
brushing the carpet. To maintain the most efficient cleaning,
the bristles must touch the carpet. To test the bristle length,
hold a ruler against the underneath side of the cleaner. If the
bristles no longer touch the ruler, replace the brush roll.
Brush Roll Belt, Style U
The brush roll belt turns the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and
comb the carpet nap. Check the belt regularly to be sure it is
in good condition. Replace the belt if it stretches, cracks or
loses tension. Cut away any hair or threads wound around
the brush roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could
cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
How To Replace Brush Roll Belt
1. Lower handle to floor to change belt.
