Under certain conditions it is possible to stuff or block the intake tube and the lower tube assembly. If your vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly, or makes unusual noise and the outer bag does not fluff up or balloon open, follow the following steps:

WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.

Remove the door by removing the hold down screw located on side of power head.

Slide the door forward by prying open with a screwdriver or coin.

Remove the belt from the brush roll pulley and the motor drive shaft.

Loop the new belt over the motor drive shaft. Place the opposite end of the belt on the brush roll pulley. Rotate the brush roll three (3) complete revolutions to ensure that no part of the belt is overhanging the end of the motor drive shaft.

Replace the door by sliding it into the groove at the bottom of the housing. Replace the hold down screw.

Replace tube by first lining up slot at base of tube with inner tab inside fan housing. Then reinsert tube and push down until the tube is seated. Make sure O-ring is in place against fan housing opening. Replace and tighten collar until collar locking tabs are locked in place. See illustration E.
