Check rotating floor brush and drive belt
You should check your vacuum cleaner’s rotating 
floor brush and drive belt regularly for wear or 
damage. You should also clean the brush and 
brush ends of string, hair and carpet fibers. These 
can wrap around the brush and hamper its ability 
to effectively clean your carpet.
 Also remove any 
debris that has accumulated under the brush cover.
1.  Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
2.  Place handle in low position and turn vacuum  cleaner over so bottom side is up.
3.  Remove the two screws from the brush  cover (as shown) with a Phillips head 
screwdriver. Lift the brush cover off.
4.  Grasp rotating floor brush at both ends and lift.
5.  Clean strings, hair and other debris from  rotating floor brush, paying particular 
attention to brush ends.
6.  Clean strings, hair and other debris from motor  pulley and drive belt areas.
7.  Check drive belt carefully for wear, cuts or  stressed areas. Replace if worn or damaged.
8.  Check air passageway for obstructions.  Remove debris from this area.
Replace drive belt
Use only BISSELL Style 12 replacement 
belts in your BISSELL PowerForce Turbo Bagless.
1.  Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.

and drive belt), grasp old drive belt and remove 
from motor pulley. Discard old drive belt.

the space between the bristles.

BISSELL PowerForce Turbo Bagless.
1.  Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
2.  Using a flat screwdriver, table knife or coin, insert into the slot on the right of the lens 
and gently push inner latch to the left, as 
shown, to remove the lens.

by pushing it gently into the socket until the bulb

Clearing clog
Low suction, poor pickup or no suction may be 
due to a clog in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice 
a change in the sound of the vacuum motor or a 
reduction in the spinning action in the dirt 
container, check for clogs.
1.  Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
2.  Empty dirt container.
3.  Check upper tank and primary separator for build up or clogs. Check to make sure primary 
separator is installed correctly. To unlock the 
primary separator, grasp the rim and turn 
toward the left. Pull straight down to remove. 
If the primary separator is missing or not 
locked into place, check and clear the tube in 
the center of the dirt container and properly 
install primary separator.
4.  Remove the Twist ‘n Snap hose from the  vacuum by turning to the left. Check the 
suction inlet, hose and hose wand for clogs. 
Remove any clogs from the hose using a 
long, narrow object such as a broomstick.
5.  Check the foot hose for clogs. If needed,  remove the screw attaching the hose wand 
base to the vacuum. Straighten the foot hose 
and unclog with a long, narrow object such 
as a broomstick.
6.  If the clog persists, follow the instructions for  checking the rotating floor brush on page 11 
and inspect the air passageway for obstructions.
