1. When to replace the brushes.
The brushes should be replaced when they are worn.
Brushes should be checked by holding a card across the
lower plate, see illustration. If the bristles on the agitator DO [-/
NOT touch the card, you SHOULD replace the brushes for
best cleaning results.
2. How to replace the brushes.
Place the vacuum cleaner handle In the upright position.
See the HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS section. Remove the
lower plate as outlined in the REMOVING/INSTALLING THE
LOWER PLATE section. After the lower plate is removed,
carefully lift up the agitator until it clears both sides of the
nozzle housing. While holding the agitator up, remove the
belt. Carefully remove both brush supports from the agitator
assembly. In order to keep the agitator assembly properly
balanced, the agitator holder and belt
pulley must be aligned
to the brush holder. Before removing these items make
marks on them that will allow you to reinstall them exactly as
removed. See illustration. Depress the belt pulley tabs with
a screwdriver. Push in and twist with the screwdriver while
pulling out on the belt pulley to remove. Do one tab at a
time while pulling out to keep the other tab depressed. The
brushes can now be replaced. Push each brush as shown
in the illustration until it is free from the brush holder.
A
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard.
Use extreme care when prying or depressing
these items with a screwdriver in order to
help prevent personal injury or damage to the
vacuum. Be careful when working around the
ends of the metal brush holder since sharp
edges may be present
