7. Belt and Brush:
Removal and Replacement
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains supply. Press
the handle release button and turn the vacuum cleaner
over so that the base lies flat and face up. Use a
screwdriver to remove the four retaining screws shown
above. Remove the nozzle guard (Fig.7/1).
Lift and remove the brushbar, 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.7/2).
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.
