PERIODIC Maintenance
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing belt. Motor shaft can become hot during normal use. To prevent injury, avoid touching the motor shaft when checking the belt. (FIG. 20 )
| Brushroll | |
PERIODIC | ||
The brushroll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Remove | ||
| ||
| hair and threads from the brushroll 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 | |
MAINTENANCE | underneath side of the cleaner. If the bristles no longer touch the | |
ruler, replace the brushroll. | ||
| ||
| Brushroll Belt | |
| Brushroll Performance Window (FIG. 19). To check condition | |
| of the belt watch to see if white dots on the belt are moving | |
| through the performance window (FIG. 19a). This indicates | |
| the brushroll is turning. | |
| The brushroll belt turns the brushroll 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 brushroll or the | |
| belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate | |
| unevenly. | |
| NOTE: Care should be taken when vacuuming rugs to | |
| ensure that edges and fringes do not snap the | |
| drive belt and stop the rotation of the brush roll. |
