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.

CAUTION The rotating ﬂoor brush could cause the fringe of a rug to become tangled within the

vacuum.

Use caution and turn off the ﬂoor brush when vacuuming throw rugs with fringe.
