10 If the blockage isn’t clear by now, try again, as there’s nowhere left to check.
11 Still not clear? – Ring the help line (back page).
no brush action (upright)
12 If the brush isn’t turning, the belt may have broken.
13 A broken belt may be due to wear and tear, but it may also be caused by a sudden
blockage, due to something like a bit of gravel jamming the brush roller.
14 If this happens in use, you’ll probably notice the change in pitch of the motor.
15 You’ll have to change the belt.
changing the belt
16 This is a bit fiddly, but it’s not difficult
17 You’ll need a crosshead screwdriver, and a replacement belt.
18 First – switch off, unplug, and let the cleaner cool down.
19 Slide the brush height control to the short pile position.
20 Lay the cleaner front-down.
21 Remove the five screws from the base (see below).
22 Press the clips on either side of the base, pull the rear (wheel-end) of the base away
first, then the whole of the base.
23 Pull the pedal towards the wheels, to put the cleaner into upright mode. This’ll
flatten the cleaner, and make the belt and brush roller easier to get at.

If you just want to clear a blockage, jump to page 12.
24 Hold the brush roller by the end pieces, and lift it out.
25 Remove the remains of the old belt.
26 Put the new belt over the end of the motor spindle first.
27 Turn the end pieces till the long sides are towards the cleaner, and the arrows point
upwards (well, roughly upwards).
28 All that’s left is pull the roller against the tension of the belt, and, at the same time,
slip the end pieces into their grooves. It sounds easy if you say it fast.
