BRUSH DRIVE BELT SERVICE AND/OR REPLACEMENT (refer to parts diagram).
1. Remove 2 1/4-20 hex screws attaching lower frame to upper frame.
2. Remove (2) spring cover plate assemblies and carefully remove springs from the slide blocks.
3. Loosen (2) 1/4-20 hex screws that hold brush motor bracket in place. Push bracket toward the front of
the machine to loosen belt.
4. Remove right Open-End and left Pulley-End cover plates.
5. Slide brush assembly and slide blocks out from their guides. Replace worn and defective belt.
6. Reinstall above components. Clean accumulated lint or debris
inside the slide block guides and check for wear on the teflon
surfaces. Replace if necessary. The slide block washer (item
#36) must be installed between the slide block guide and inside
the divider wall. Adjust belt tension by moving motor bracket
toward the rear. Apply minimum belt tension when the hex
bolts are tightened to allow for a smooth vertical brush
movement. A belt too loose will cause the belt to skip when
brush is applied on the carpet. A belt too tight won’t allow for
up and down movement.
REPLACEMENT OF BRUSH ASSEMBLY AND/OR BEARINGS
1. Repeat steps 1 thru 4.
2. Remove slide blocks from the ends of the brush shaft.
3. Remove (4) screws from string guard. Tap the shaft toward the right open end to remove the bearing.
4. Remove (4) screws from slinger and pull off brush core. Scrape off old sealant build up on the slinger and
string guard. It is advisable to replace the two bearings every time the brush is replaced.
5. Reinstall the above component. CAUTION! Install shorter step on the shaft ends toward the left pulley
side. Apply silicon sealant such as GE Silicon auto seal onto the ends of the brush core before
reassembling the slinger and string guard.
