HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls, check the
cyclonic cassette, belt, and brush roll often.
Brush Roll
The brush roll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Remove hair and threads from the brush roll so it continues
brushing the carpet. To maintain the most efficient cleaning, the bristles must touch the carpet. To test the bristle length, hold
a ruler against the underneath side of the cleaner. If the bristles no longer touch the ruler, replace the brush roll.
Brush Roll Belt
The brush roll belt turns the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. Check the belt regularly to be sure it is in
good condition. Replace the belt if it stretches, cracks or loses tension. Cut away any hair or threads wound around the brush
roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
How To Replace Brush Roll Belt
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing the brush roll belt. Belt pulleys can
become hot during normal use. To prevent injury, avoid touching the motor pulley when checking the belt.
1. Release the cleaner by pressing down on the handle
release button. This will allow the cleaner to lower itself
to the floor.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the two screws located on
the top of the hood. Lift the hood upward, to remove.
3. Lift the left end of the brush roll upward.
4. Remove right end of brush roll upward and out.
5. Remove old belt from around brush roll and motor pulley.
