Brush Roll Maintenance | How to Videos | Powerlifter™ Pet Bagged

Your PowerLifter Bagged vacuum has a brush roll that may require some maintenance. Here is how you do it.
  • To start you will need a Phillips screwdriver. 
  • Then turn off and unplug your machine.
  • Recline the vacuum and turn over to locate the Phillips head screws.
  • Using your Phillips screwdriver remove the 6 screws.
  • Lift the brush cover off the vacuum.
  • Grab both ends of the brush and lift the roller straight out of the vacuum. Then slip the belt off the brush.
  • Clear the brush roll of any hair and debris.
  • Clean debris from the bottom of the vacuum in the motor pulley, drive belt and air passageway areas.
  • Inspect the brush roll by placing it on its end and spinning. It should spin freely with one flick. If it doesn’t replace the brush roll.
  • Replace the brush roll and belt by looping the belt over the motor shaft and then the brush roll.
  • Line up the endcaps & pull the brush roll into place. Spin the brush roll to align the belt.
  • You can now replace the bottom cover and reinsert the 6 screws using your Phillips screwdriver.
We hope these steps get you back on track to using your PowerLifter vacuum!
