Replacing the Agitator Belt

WARNING! To Reduce the Risk of Electrical
Shock or Injury From Moving Parts, Unplug
Before Servicing or Cleaning.
NOTE: To ensure maximum cleaning
efficiency, the belt should be checked
regularly to be sure it is in good condition.
Check to see if the belt is stretched,
cracked, or if excessive slipping is
occurring. Replace if needed.
• Remove the bottom plate (see page 9).
• Remove the brushroll and the worn or
broken belt from the brushroll pulley and
the motor drive shaft (Fig. 1).
• Loop the new belt around the motor
drive shaft and the brushroll (Fig. 2).
• Reinstall the brushroll into the housing.
Turn the brushroll by hand, making sure
the belt is not twisted and all rotating
parts move smoothly.
• Reinstall the bottom plate (see page 9).
