Quick Kleen ® Fan Chamber
(880 Series Only)
CAUTION: 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.

How To Replace Worn Brush Strips
(chromed steel brush roll)
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the
electrical cord before replacing brush
strips.
New brush strips are supplied in sets of two, one long and
one short. To replace, remove bottom plate and belt (see
How To Change Belt). Then, grasp center of brush roll and
lift to remove.
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.
