The brush roll belt on th e carpet shampooer/ extractor drives
the brush to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. Check
the belt regularly to be sure it is in good condition. Replace
the belt if it is stretching, cracking or slipping. Cut away any
hair or thread wound around th e brush roll or the belt pulley
because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
1. Tip the carpet shampooer/ extractor back to place the
handle on the floor (See Figure 1).
2. Position yourself in front of the carpet shampooer/
extractor’s base an d remove the screw from the right
side of base ( Figure 2).
3. Lift off the belt cap.
4. Lift brush roll out and remove worn belt.

around the motor pulley. Squeezing the belt will aid in
