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 to become tangled within the vacuum.

CAUTION

Use caution and turn off the ﬂ oor brush when vacuuming throw rugs with fringe.

REPLACING the Drive Belt

1. Make sure that the vacuum is unplugged.

2. With the rotating ﬂ oor brush removed from the vacuum cleaner, grasp the old drive belt and remove it from the motor pulley. Discard the old drive belt.

3. Place the new drive belt over the motor pulley and stretch the other end over the rotating ﬂ oor brush in the space between the bristles.

4. Place the ends of the rotating ﬂ oor brush down into the slots on the sides as shown.

5. Turn the rotating ﬂ oor brush by hand several times in the direction of the motor pulley. If properly installed, the drive belt will center itself on the rotating brush crown.

6. Reposition the brush cover and screws. Tighten the screws securely.
