Maintenance & Care
Belt Replacement Instructions
1. Turn off the machine and unplug it from the
outlet. Wrap hose and cord on wraps.
2. Remove the 2-in-1 water tank and set aside.
3. IMPORTANT: Fully recline handle and turn
unit upside down.
4. Locate red Belt Access Door and remove two
screws.
NOTE: The dark screw is a long machine screw
and will take several turns (approximately 25)
to completely remove. The head of the screw
will lift from the belt access door so that it can
be easily removed.
5. Pull the belt access door away from the brush
and remove the belt access door and end cap
and set aside.
6. Remove brush belt from end of brush and
set aside. Check for wear or damage. Replace if
necessary.
7. Check motor belt for damage. If necessary,
replace the motor belt by pinching the belt at
one end to make a large loop then attaching
the motor belt to the silver motor shaft first and
attaching to the larger red pulley.
NOTE: Spinning the red pulley a few
times will help center the belt and ensure
correct assembly.
8. If necessary, the brush may be removed for
cleaning. Rotate the brush out of the brush
housing and pull the brush off the axle attached
to the remaining end cap. The remaining pivot
arm can be removed by removing the screw
(this will allow for full access to the brush cham-
ber for cleaning and proper maintenance). Make
sure the "keyed" end of the metal rod is aligned
with the slot in the pivot arm before reassembly.
Rinse the brush under running water and remove
any hair, carpet fibers, or other debris that may
have become wrapped around the brush or
stuck in the bristles. Allow the brush to dry and
replace it on the axle, cogged-side last. You may
need to rotate the brush to allow it to slide all
the way down the axle.
9. Reattach brush belt.
10. Reattach Belt Access Door assembly to end
of brush and rotate back into place. Replace
screws.
NOTE: Do not over tighten screws.
If you have any questions or are having trouble
installing or replacing your belt(s) or brush,
please call BISSELL Consumer Care.
