Removal
1. Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet, and place on
paper to protect the floor surface. Place vacuum cleaner in
the full upright posiiton.
2. Turn the unit over so the agitator and nozzle base are
facing upward.
3. Locate the two latches and the two locking tabs which
secure the base plate.
4. To remove the nozzle base, press the two latches inward.
5. Push in on the locking tabs toward the center of the vacuum
cleaner.
6. Rotate the nozzle base away from the nozzle. The sides of
the nozzle base need to be pulled slightly outward to clear
the wheels.
3.1.2.
Installation
1. To re-attach the nozzle base, place the vacuum cleaner in
full upright position. Insert the tabs into the slots along the
front edge of the base. Lower the nozzle base to its original
position.
2. As the base is lowered the inner areas will brush against the
dust compartment wheels. A gentle pull outward may assist
in reassembly.
3. Press the nozzle base down until the two locking tabs snap
into place .
4. Fasten the lower plate by pushing the two (2) latches
outward.

Agitator Assembly
Replacement
3.2.1.
Removal
1. Remove the lower plate as outline in NOZZLE BASE
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.
2. Carefully remove any residue that may exist in the belt area.
If the belt is still attached to the motor shaft, there will be
tension on the agitator. If the belt is not broken, remove it
from the motor shaft before lifting the agitator.
3. Carefully lift the one end of the agitator and then lift the
other end.
3.2.2.
Installation
1. Place the belt around the motor shaft.
2. Place the belt around the agitator pulley on the agitator
assembly.
NOTE: There is a place for the belt to fit on one end of
the agitator assembly only. This is the agitator pulley.
3. Insert the new agitator assembly back into the nozzle
housing by placing the side opposite the belt partially into
the slot. The small tabs should be aligned against the
nozzle and the other against the lower plate. This will hold
the agitator in place and leave both hands free to place
enough tension on the belt to allow that side of the agitator
to return to the nozzle housing slot.
NOTE: Care must be taken due to the belt tension
during reassembly.
4. Use both hands to pull the belt tight, and slide the agitator
assembly firmly into the slots on each end of the nozzle
