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.
