Brush Roll Belt (for models with a brush roll)

The brush roll belt on the carpet shampooer/extractor drives the brush 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 is stretching, cracking or slipping. Cut away any hair or thread wound around the brush roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.

*When reinstalling the brush roll, check the end caps for correct alignment into the base of the unit. Sometimes the squares of the end caps become off-center. By holding one end and turning the other, realignment can be corrected.
