1. When to replace the brushes.
The brushes should be replaced when they are worn. Brushes
should be checked by holding a card across the lower plate,
see illustration. If the bristles on the agitator DO NOT touch the
card, you SHOULD replace the brushes for best cleaning
results.
2. How to replace the brushes.
Place the vacuum cleaner handle in the upright position.
See the HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS section. Remove the lower
plate as outlined in the REMOVING/INSTALLING THE LOWER
PLATE section. After the lower plate is removed, carefully lift
up the agitator until it clears both sides of the nozzle housing.
While holding the agitator up, remove the belt. Carefully
remove the E-clip from the agitator shaft using a small screw-
driver and then remove the right end cap. Pull the agitator shaft
of the opposite end of the agitator and pull or pry out the agita-
tor pulley and agitator holder. The brushes can now be
replaced easily. Push each brush as shown in the illustration
until it is free from the brush holder. Install the new brushes by
reversing the procedure. Reinstall the agitator holder, agitator
pulley, making sure they are completely and firmly inserted, the
agitator shaft/end cap, and E-clip in the reverse order of
removal. See the exploded view below for the correct assembly
of all parts.
NOTE: Take care not to bend the agitator shaft. DO NOT mis-
place the smali E-clip. Be careful when removing and rein-
stalling it on the agitator shaft end, as it can easily get away
from you.
3. To replace the agitator.
Place the belt over the belt pulley on the agitator. NOTE:
There is a place for the belt to fit on one end of the agitator
only. After assembling the belt, place the agitator back into the
nozzle housing by aligning each end cap.
After completing the assembly, rotate the brush, turning it
by hand to assure that it rotates smoothly and the part is
assembled correctly.
Replace the lower plate as outlined in the REMOVING/INSTALLING THE LOWER PLATE section.
