Removal
The brushes are replaceable separately. When the brushes need replacing, the
agitator assembly will have to be removed.
1.
Remove the lower plate as outlined in the LOWER PLATE REMOVAL/
INSTALLATION section.
2.
Carefully lift up on the agitator assembly until it clears both sides of the nozzle housing,
(Fig. 2)
.
3.
Remove the belt from the motor shaft by sliding it off between the end of the shaft and the
nozzle housing.
Installation
1.
Place the belt around the motor shaft,
(Fig. 3)
.
2.
Start the agitator assembly back into the nozzle housing by placing the side
opposite the belt partially into the slot. This will hold the agitator in place and leave
both hands free to place enough tension on the belt to allow that side of the agitator
to return to the nozzle housing slot.
3.
Place the belt around the agitator pulley on the agitator assembly.
NOTE: There is a place for the belt to fit on one end of the agitator
assembly only. This is the agitator pulley.
4.
Use both hands to pull the belt tight,
(Fig. 4)
, and slide the agitator
assembly firmly into the slots on each end of the nozzle housing.
5
Rotate the agitator assembly by hand to insure nothing rubs and to check
for correct assembly.
