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.
