Using the Full Size Power Nozzle
Removing the Brushroll
IMPORTANT: Before performing any
maintenance on the power nozzle, always
unplug the vacuum cleaner and disconnect
the wand.
Your brushroll may need to be removed
at times to cut threads that have become
tangled around the brushroll or to replace
the belt (see “Replacing the Power Nozzle
Belt”).
To remove the brushroll, turn the unit over
and take off the metal bottom plate by first
removing the two bottom plate screws
located by the rear wheels.
Remove the belt cover guard and pull the
brushroll out.
To reinstall the brushroll, reinsert the brushroll
back into the unit (make sure the belt is
attached properly). Next, insert the belt
cover guard. Then, place the metal bottom
plate back onto the unit (insert the front end
of the bottom plate first). Re-insert the two
bottom plate screws and secure.
Replacing the Power Nozzle Belt
IMPORTANT: Before performing any
maintenance work on the power nozzle,
always unplug the vacuum cleaner and
disconnect the wand.
To replace the power nozzle belt, you must
first remove the brushroll (see “Removing
the Brushroll”). Then locate and discard
broken belt.
To install new belt, locate the power nozzle
motor pulley and loop the belt around it.
Place the other end of the belt around the
brushroll making sure the belt is seated in the
“belt groove” of the brushroll.
Carpet Height Adjustment Tips:
When using
the power nozzle, start on the “Auto” setting.
If pushing the power nozzle feels difficult, then
adjust to a higher setting. If the power nozzle
feels very easy to push, you may want to lower
the power nozzle for more effective cleaning.
The “Auto” setting is the recommended setting
for hard floor surfaces (i.e. tile, vinyl, wood).
Warning Light/Dirt Sensor
Your power nozzle is equipped with a circuit
breaker safety system that protects it from a
jammed situation. Common items that cause
jammed brushrolls include socks, excessive
threads, corners of area rugs, etc. The warning
indicator light on top of the unit will change from
green to red should this condition occur.
If the circuit breaker trips:
• Turn off the vacuum cleaner and power nozzle
then unplug the power cord.
• Remove the object preventing the brushroll
from turning.
• Locate the circuit breaker switch on the back
of the power nozzle and press it to reset the
breaker. When the unit is turned back on, the
warning light should be green.
If the breaker trips again, repeat these steps
again to correct the problem. If this does not
correct the problem, contact your authorized
Riccar Vacuum retailer for further assistance.
Maintenance and Care
Dirt Sensor - Immaculate Model Only
The warning light will change to orange if the
dirt sensor detects dirt in the carpet and will
change to green when the carpet is clean.
