Stage 2. Remove the Brush
Ease the Right end of the brush out of its bearing.
Repeat for the Left edge.
Now lift out the brush with both hands. Be careful as the belt is still under tension.
Pull out the brush from the belt.
Stage 3. Remove the Belt
Inspect the belt for wear. If the inside of the belt is very shiny but otherwise
unworn and free from nicks or tears, you may be able to extend its useful
life by turning it inside out.
If you are not replacing the belt, clean it carefully with a dry cloth to remove
any residue but do not remove the belt..
When you are removing or replacing the belt, twist the belt on its side and
slide the edge of the belt around the end of the spindle.
(You may find it easier to cut the belt off with a pair of sharp scissors.
Stage 4. Replace the belt
Manoeuvre the belt over the spindle, straighten it
out and lay the belt flat on the spindle.
Thread the brush through the belt.
Position the belt over the convex section of the
brush . Make sure the belt is not twisted
Stage 5. Replace the brush
Insert the brush into the belt.
A: Hold the brush in both hands. Pull the brush towards you and partially insert the left hand side bearing of the
brush into its socket with your thumb. (This will place the belt under tension, so you may have to use moderate
pulling force.)
B: Align the Right Hand side of the Brush over the Bearing and pressthe brush into place.
Press sides of the brush fully home.
Finally, rotate the brush by hand to ensure that the mechanism moves freely and that the belt does not foul the
guides and is central on the motor spindle.

Stage 6. Re-assembly
Rotate the brush by hand to ensure that the mechanism moves freely and that the belt does not foul the guides and
is central on the motor spindle.
