Installation

NOTE: Every time the pedal cover is removed for any reason, it should be replaced with a new one. See Nozzle Exploded View and Parts List for correct replacement part number. 2. Turn the vacuum over and remove the lower plate, belt and agitator as outlined in their respective removal sections. 3. Remove the nozzle housing. 4. Remove the three (3) screws that secure the carpet/bare floor & handle release assembly to the nozzle housing. 5. Remove the pedal/frame assembly by sliding it out through the bottom of the nozzle housing. 6. Once the carpet/bare floor & handle release assembly is out it can be disassembled for parts replacement as shown in the Exploded View diagram. NOTE: For general servicing, it is necessary to eliminate pinching of any wire during reassembly. After servicing any electrical component or electrical enclosure, the unit should be reassembled and checked for dielectric breakdown or current leakage.

1. Place the belt around the motor shaft.

2. Start the new agitator assembly back into the nozzle housing by placing the side opposite the belt partially into the slot. The small tabs should be aligned with the nozzle and the other against the lower plate. This will hold the agitator in place and leave both hands free to place enough tension on the belt to allow that side of the agitator to return to the nozzle housing slot. 3. Place the belt around the agitator pulley on the agitator assembly. 4. Use both hands to pull the belt tight, slide the agitator assembly firmly into the slots on each end of the nozzle housing. 5. Rotate the agitator assembly by hand to insure nothing rubs and to check for correct assembly. 6. Replace the lower plate as outlined in the LOWER PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION section.
