Maintenance and Care
Your power nozzle may need maintenance
on occasion to keep it operating in
peak condition. Listed below are a few
maintenance procedures that can be
performed by you or your retailer.
1. Removing the brushroll
IMPORTANT:
Before performing any
maintenance work on the power nozzle,
always disconnect the hose from the
vacuum inlet and unplug the power cord,
if your model has one. Then disconnect
the wand.
Your brushroll may need to be removed
at times, for example, to cut threads
that have become tangled around the
brushroll or to replace the belt (see
“Replacing the belt”).
To remove the brushroll, turn the unit
over and lift off the metal bottom plate
by first unscrewing the two bottom plate
screws located by the rear wheels (see
diagram). Pull out the belt cover guard
(see diagram) and pull the brushroll out.
To reinstall the brushroll, place 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.
