POWER BRUSH (SC12F50P SERIES)
CHECKING the Rotating Floor Brush and Drive Belt
You should check your vacuum cleaner's rotating floor brush and drive belt regularly for wear or
damage. You should also clean strings, hair, and carpet fibers off the brush and brush ends. These
can wrap around the brush and hamper its ability to effectively clean your carpet. Also remove any
debris that has accumulated under the brush cover.
1. Unplug the vacuum from the electrical outlet.
2. Place the handle in low position and turn the vacuum cleaner over so the bottom side is up.
3. Remove the five screws (at arrows, right) with a screwdriver.
4. Remove the brush cover from the floor brush.
5. Grasp the rotating floor brush at both ends and lift.
6. Clean string, hair and other debris off the rotating floor brush, paying particular attention to brush
ends.
7. Clean string, hair and other debris off the motor pulley and drive belt areas.
8. Check the drive belt carefully for wear, cuts or stressed areas.
9. Check the air passageway for obstructions. Remove debris from this area.
