MAINTAINING FLOOR TOOLS
CHECKING the Rotating Floor Brush and Drive Belt
You should check your vacuum cleaner’s rotating fl oor brush and drive belt regularly for wear or damage. You should also clean strings, hair, and carpet fi bers off the brush and brush ends. These can wrap around the brush and hamper its ability to effectively clean your carpet. Also remove any debris that has accumulated under the brush cover.
1.Unplug the vacuum from the electrical outlet.
2.Place the handle in low position and turn the vacuum cleaner over so the bottom side is up.
3.Remove the six screws (at arrows, right) with a screwdriver.
4.Remove the brush cover from the fl oor brush.
5.Grasp the rotating fl oor brush at both ends and lift.
6.Clean string, hair and other debris off the rotating fl oor brush, paying particular attention to brush ends.
7.Clean string, hair and other debris off the motor pulley and drive belt areas.
8.Check the drive belt carefully for wear, cuts or stressed areas.
9.Check the air passageway for obstructions. Remove debris from this area.
The rotating fl oor brush could cause the fringe of a rug
CAUTION to become tangled within the vacuum.
Use caution and turn off the fl oor brush when vacuuming throw rugs with fringe.
Brush Cover
REPLACING the Drive Belt
