Maintenance and Care

2.  Replacing the power nozzle belt
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.

To replace the power nozzle belt, you 
must first remove the brushroll (see 
“Removing the brushroll”). Locate and 
discard broken belt.

To install a new belt, locate the power 
nozzle motor pulley and loop the belt 
around it (see diagram). Place the other 
end of the belt around the brushroll 
making sure the belt is seated in the “belt 
groove” of the brushroll (see diagram). 
Insert the brushroll back into the brushroll 
tray and place the belt guard back into 
position. Place the metal bottom plate 
back on to the unit (insert the front end of 
the bottom plate first). Re-insert the two 
bottom plate screws and secure.

3. Replacing the bulb
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.

Turn the power nozzle over and remove 
the bottom plate by first unscrewing the 
two bottom plate screws located by the 
rear wheels. Locate and remove the two 
top cover screws (see diagram).  Turn 
the power nozzle back over, push the 
power nozzle neck flat, and remove the 
top cover (see diagram). Simply pull the 
bulb out (no twisting) and insert a factory 
authorized bulb. Place the top cover back 
on the unit, turn the machine over and re-
insert the two top cover screws. Re-install 
the bottom plate.
