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 floor brush could cause the fringe of a rug
CAUTION to become tangled within the vacuum.
Use caution and turn off the floor brush when vacuuming throw rugs with fringe.
REPLACING the Drive Belt
Brush
Cover
1.Make sure that the vacuum is unplugged.

If you suffer from allergies or asthma...
When emptying any vacuum cleaner, it is difficult to avoid exposure to dust. To minimize this risk, encase the dust bin in a large bag to empty it, and then close the bag as tightly as possible around the bin. After the bin is empty, remove the bin and close the bag as tightly and quickly as possible and dispose it immediately. It is advisable to wear disposable gloves and a face mask while emptying the vacuum. If at all possible, ask a non allergy sufferer to empty the dust bin when required.
