The Belt to Drive the Brush

replacing the belt.

To replace the drive belt, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure the electrical plug is removed from the
outlet.
2. Put the machine upside down.
3. To remove the bottom plate, turn the two cam
latches on the sides of the plate.
4. Remove the worn belt from the pulley on the motor
shaft. See figure 4.
5. To remove the brush, pull the brush out of the slots
in the frame.
6. Clean the vacuum opening in the base of the
machine.
7. Check the bristles of the brush for wear. If the
bristles are worn, see the section "What to Do
about the Wear of the Brush."
