Removal/Disassembly
1. Lay vacuum with front side down. Remove the four (4) screws that secure the cord reel cover, (Fig. 17), and then pull off the cord reel cover. 2. Take the cord guide out of the cord reel bracket and relieve tension on the cord reel spring by holding onto the power cord head while pushing down on the brake lever assembly. Continue the unwind until cord reel stops turning. NOTE: This is done to relieve tension on the cord reel spring and to prevent personal injury. 3.

This will separate contact disc assembly from the cord reel axle. 6. Slowly work contact disc assembly through the slot on the cord reel hub until contact disc assembly is separated from the cord reel hub.
