How do I set the hight on my
Kirby? TOP
|
Adjusting your machine to the proper height ensures that
the Kirby will remove as much debris from your carpet as
possible.
Setting it at the proper height maximizes airflow
and allows the brush roll to gently, yet effectively agitate
your carpeting.
Raise the Power nozzle to the highest setting and turn
the Kirby on. Then lower the foot pedal one level at a time
until you hear a change in the sound of the motor. Lower the
Power Nozzle one more level and your Kirby is now at the
proper height for your
carpeting. |
How do I change a Kirby
belt? TOP
|
With the Kirby in an upright position push the
toe-touch lever all the way to the floor to raise the Kirby as
high as it will go. Expose the nozzle on the Kirby by lifting
the headlight cap. Release the belt tension by using the
L-shaped handle on the belt lifter turning it all the way to
the left (counter-clockwise) until the red arrows line up.
Unlock the lever lock at the top of the nozzle and remove the
nozzle from the unit. Unlock the rug plate by unhooking the
two latches on the rear of the nozzle and remove it from the
nozzle. Note the brush roll setting, which is indicated by a
number or a series of notches. (See the next question for more
information on the brush roll setting.) Turn the belt lifter
to the right (clockwise) until the green arrows line up to
release the belt from the belt lifter hook. Lift out the
brushroll. Slide the old belt off and replace with a new belt.
Replace the brushroll making sure each end is on the same
setting. Replace the rug plate and making sure that the new
belt is in the center of the brushroll, turn the belt lifter
to the left (counter-clockwise) until the red arrows line up.
(it will be hard to turn, as it is a new belt that you are
stretching) Re-attach the nozzle to the Kirby locking it into
place. Once it is locked onto the Kirby, turn the belt lifter
to the right (clockwise) until the green arrows line up. This
will release the belt off the hook and onto the motor shaft.

How do I change my Kirby
roller brush? TOP
|
The brush roll has three settings (indicated by
notches or numbers) on each side. You can adjust the height of
the brush roll as it wears. The greater the number of notches,
the farther the bristles are extended. To change the settings,
follow instructions as replacing a belt, but when installing
the brush roll, adjust the settings as desired. Always make
sure they are on the same setting for both sides of the brush
roll. When the bristles are at the greatest extension, you
should consider replacing your brush roll to ensure maximum
performance. |
Why is my Kirby vacuum
becoming so hard to push? TOP
The vacuum belt has broken or become so stretched that
the roller doesn't spin anymore once the vacuum make contact
with the ground, or you accidentally lowered the height level
of the vacuum cleaner too much. Both answers assume that you
do NOT have a Kirby with a self-propel feature. View

You can see from above that if you own a Heritage II/

Sentria the bags are
interchangable. |
Why is my Kirby making a loud
noise? TOP
|
You may have broken the fan.
If you remove the main head (like you are going to
replace the belt), it will expose the fan. Make sure the
vacuum is unplugged before you do any of this. Spin the belt
motor pulley slowly and view the fan.
You may have a plastic fan that has a broken apart or
something is obstructing the fan from spinning.
