6. Dirt Container & Filter:
Removal and Replacement
1.
Make sure the vacuum cleaner has been switched off
and unplugged from the electrical socket. To remove the
dirt container from the vacuum cleaner press the release
catch and pull forward.
To remove the lid, turn anti-clockwise and lift lid away.
Empty the dirt container (Fig.6/1).
2.
The filter inside the dirt container should be replaced
every 12 months. It should be cleaned each time the dirt
container is emptied.
To remove, twist and pull the filter out. To clean, tap
gently against the side of a dust bin. Do not use a brush to
clean as this may damage the filter.
Replace filter. Push firmly into place to prevent dust and
dirt leaking out. Replace the lid and re-attach the dirt
container (Fig.6/2).
7. Belt and Brush:
Removal and Replacement
1.
Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical socket.
Press the unit recline pedal and turn the vacuum cleaner
over so that the base lies flat and face up. Use a
screwdriver to remove the three screws shown below.
Remove the nozzle guard. (Fig.7/1).
Lift and remove the brushbar (Fig. 7/2), then slide the belt
off the motor shaft and dispose of it. Place a new belt on
the motor shaft and then slip the brushbar through the
belt (Fig.7/2a).
The belt should sit on the section of the brushbar without
bristles. Re-fit the brushbar. Ensure the end caps are in the
correct position. Rotate the brushbar to check the belt is
not twisted. Replace the nozzle guard.
