SERVICING (continued)
An Authorized Service Center should perform the following procedures:
The cogged belt drive system rarely requires tightening. If the belt becomes loose from wear, it is time to replace it. To do
so:
1. Remove acorn nut and thru-bolt from brush chassis lift handle
2. Gently tilt machine backwards
3. While holding the base of the brush housing with one hand, release the lift handle from the up/locked position. The
brush housing privots on a hinge that doesn’t need to be removed
4. Loosen the two motor bracket mounting bolts with a 7/16” wrench. DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLTS UNLESS YOU ARE
REPLACING THE MOTOR
5. Slide the motor away from the brush to tighten the belt or toward the brush to remove. If you are replacing the belt it
will be necessary to remove the brush assembly to install a new one
6. Remove the two axle shaft retaining screws located on either side of the brush housing
7. Loop belt over cog and reinstall brush
Unlike a “V” type belt, the cogged belt is run with basically zero deflection. To test the belt tension, hold the betl between
your thumb and forefinger and twist to the side. It should turn approximately 900 with little effort. If it twists mroe than
900, retighten the belt.
Additional service information is available from your local Pacific Floorcare distributor or through our Technical Service
department.
