Quick Kleen® Fan Chamber
(880 Series Only)
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before cleaning.
The clear, removable fan chamber cover provides easy inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the fan chamber. Removing the cover provides easy access to the motor fan. Grease buildup, dirt, or other obstructions, visible through the fan cover, should be removed. To clean the fan area, take off the chrome bottom plate by releasing the two cam locks (see Brush Roll
Belt, Figure 1 and 2). Remove the belt from the motor pulley, then loosen and remove the screws on either side of the fan cover, as indicated by the arrows. Push the cam locks outward against the wheels to lift the cover from the cleaner base. Dirt and obstructions can easily be cleared; however, caked grease may need to be scraped from the cover and the cleaner. If the fan does not turn freely, it also should be removed for cleaning. To remove the fan, place a wrench over the motor pulley. Hold the fan blades with one hand and turn the wrench counterclockwise. Remove the motor pulley and lift the fan off the motor shaft. Clean the area and replace the fan over the motor shaft. Tighten the motor pulley snugly clockwise with the wrench. If necessary, replace the fan cover or the gasket with replacement parts.
Be sure the gasket is in place. Reposition the fan cover by first placing the exhaust end into place between the large rear wheels. Seat the fan cover firmly. Next replace the belt and bottom plate as the pressure from the bottom plate helps seal the fan cover. Start the two screws by hand to be sure they are straight, then tighten.
Order fan chamber cover replacement kit (fan cover, gasket, two screws) Part No. 52334.
Brush Roll
As the brush roll rotates, it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Remove hair and threads from the brush roll so it continues brushing the carpet nap. When the bristles of the brush roll no longer touch a straight edge held across the bottom plate, the brush roll is ineffective because the bristles no longer touch the carpet nap. To maintain the most effective cleaning, use a new wood brush roll. Replace the brush strips on the chromed steel brush roll.
