Agitator brushes
Disconnect cleaner from electri-
cal outlet before checking
brushes.
When brushes are worn and
bristles do not touch the edge of a
card held across the nozzle, they
should be replaced. Always re-
place both brushes at the same
time to maintain cleaning effec-
tiveness.
To replace brushes
Disconnect cleaner from electri-
cal outlet,
Remove bottom plate, belt and
agitator following directions pre-
viously given.
1. Hold agitator as shown. Turn
end plates in opposite directions
until one end plate comes off.
2. Pull or pry out end sections as
shown in illustration.
Note: Pulley end should be re-
moved by pulling straight out.

semblies to insure correct re-
placement.

brush assembly with the label on
the agitator shell. Slide the new
assemblies into the slots, while

outer end lightly if necessary. Be
