Turn cleaner over and remove bottom plate (Fig. 3-9).

Lift up brush roll and slide V-belt (D) off brush roll.

The V-belt is designed to last for a long time and is not normally replaced. However, if V-belt is cracked, gouged or broken, now is a good time to replace it as follows.

To install new belt (with lettering on out- side of belt), slide back of belt over pulley and pull front of belt toward groove (E) next to pulley.

Belt will “pop” into place.

Positioning belt on brush roll

Before positioning belt onto brush roll, check for debris accumulation as described in Fig. 4-2.

Insert brush roll through belt and posi- tion belt in groove (F) on brush roll.

Installing brush roll

Grasp brush roll and fit it into position by

first sliding end, opposite the belt, into the rectangular slot (G) on side of clean- er.

Push other side of brush roll (H) into place. Belt may fit loosely when proper- ly installed.
