Replacing the Belt
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury
from moving parts, unplug the vacuum
before servicing.
• Turn the vacuum over and remove
the bottom plate (see “Removing and
Reinstalling the Bottom Plate” on page 9).
• Remove the brushroll and the worn
or broken belt from the brushroll pulley
and the motor drive shaft (Fig. 1).
• Loop the new belt around the motor
drive shaft and the brushroll (Fig. 2).
• Reinstall the brushroll back into the
housing. Turn the brushroll by hand,
making sure the belt is not twisted
and all rotating parts move smoothly
(Fig. 3).
• Reinstall the bottom plate (see “Removing
and Reinstalling the Bottom Plate” on page
9).
NOTE: To ensure maximum cleaning
efficiency, the belt should be checked
regularly to be sure it is in good condition.
Check to see if the belt is stretched, cracked,
or if excessive slipping is occurring. Replace
if needed.
