1. When to replace the agitator.
The agitator should be replaced when the brushes
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 agitator for best cleaning results.
2. How to replace the agitator.
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.
NOTE: The two end caps may come off along with the two washers as you lift the agitator out.
DO NOT lose the two small washers. Look at the exploded view of the agitator below for correct .
assembly of the parts.
3. To replace the agitator.
Place the belt over the belt pulley on the brush unit. NOTE: There is a place for the belt to fit on
one end of the agitator only. Replace both washers and end caps, see illustration below for cor¬
rect assembly. After assembling the belt, washers and end caps place the agitator back into the
nozzle housing by aligning each end cap.
After completing the assembly, rotate the agitator, turning it by hand to assure that
it rotates smoothly and the part is assembied correctly.
Replace the lower plate as outlined in the REMOVING/INSTALLING THE LOWER PLATE section.
