ammonia or bicarbonate of soda to wipe the top of the
batteries. Clean the battery terminals. Reconnect the
batteries.
2. Check the hoses for leaks, obstructions and other
damage.

brush drive belts for proper tension. Belts must be
tensioned properly to prevent slipping. To tighten the
belts, follow this procedure:
a. Remove belt cover by removing screws.
b. Loosen the 2 screws on either side of the
motor pulley.
c. Use a small pry bar or large screwdriver to pry
the motor upward to achieve correct belt
tension. Pry on the motor close to where the
motor contacts the brush head casting (See
