Disassembly

1. Remove swivel assembly (Figure 22) from the top of the cleaner by turning it 1/4-turn counterclockwise and pulling straight up on it.

2. Turn cleaner upside down. Remove 4 screws and remove lower body assembly from shroud.

3 . Turn lower body assembly right side up. Unsnap the 2 clips on the oscillator chamber cap (Figure 23a); lift it off.

4.Pull the long gear shaft straight up (Figure 23a) by the blocks on the ends of the shaft. Hold the seals in the oscillator and the blocks on the shaft. The cam may interfere with the shaft mounting post; if so, turn it slightly on the shaft until it clears the post. The shaft assembly can now be disassembled (Figure 23b).

5.Slide the long gear shaft out of the oscillator (with gears, complete); make sure that you don’t lose the seals out of the oscillator which may fall out at this point (Figure 23b).

5A. Oscillator seals are replaceable.

5B. Ratchet gear set and long shaft are replaceable as a unit.

6.Remove the set screw, short gear shaft, and gears (Figure 24); be sure to keep the gears on.

7.With a small screwdriver (such as a jeweler’s screwdriver), a pencil, or a pen point, depress and remove the coil spring from the lift brush mounting post (Figure 25). Replace the brush and the spring if necessary.

8.The metal ratchet tab slides out of its slot sideways; replace it by removing the center brushes and sliding in a new ratchet tab until it is flush with the edge of plastic holder (Figures 26 and 27). Replace the center brushes.

9.The brush ring pops out of the cleaner body for easy replacement.

10.If you need to replace the bumper, turn the shroud and bumper assembly upside down and remove the two screws holding the bumper to the shroud.
