Maintenance And Care - Riccar Pizzazz Owner's Manual

Removing the Brushroll
IMPORTANT: Before performing any
maintenance on the power nozzle, always
unplug the vacuum cleaner and disconnect
the wand.
Your brushroll may need to be removed
at times, to cut threads that have become
tangled around the brushroll or to replace the
belt (see "Replacing the Power Nozzle Belt").
To remove the brushroll, turn the unit over
and take off the metal bottom plate by first
unscrewing the two bottom plate screws
located by the rear wheels.
Remove the belt cover guard and pull the
brushroll out.

Maintenance and Care

To reinstall the brushroll, reinsert the brushroll
back into the unit (make sure the belt is
attached properly). Next, insert the belt
cover guard. Then, place the metal bottom
plate back onto the unit (insert the front end
of the bottom plate first). Re-insert the two
bottom plate screws and secure.
Replacing the Power Nozzle Belt
IMPORTANT: Before performing any
maintenance work on the power nozzle,
always unplug the vacuum cleaner and
disconnect the wand.
To replace the power nozzle belt, you must
first remove the brushroll (see "Removing
the Brushroll"). Then locate and discard
broken belt.
To install new belt, locate the power nozzle
motor pulley and loop the belt around it.
Place the other end of the belt around the
brushroll making sure the belt is seated in the
"belt groove" of the brushroll.
