As these levers are made of plastic, they can break under excessive stress, use, or when clogged with dirt and debris. If broken, noticeable signs include difficulty in raising or lowering the vacuum, being stuck in place, or failure to pick up dirt effectively. To replace these levers, a Philips-head and flat-head screwdriver are all that is needed. Begin by carefully disassembling your vacuum, unscrewing the screws around the chassis, and removing the top to access its interior. Once the top portion is removed, unscrew and remove the motor cover or any obstructing part that blocks access to the lever(s). If necessary, remove the carry handle and/or brush roll to access the levers. The levers are located on each side of the vacuum interior and can be carefully removed by prying them out with a flathead screwdriver. Replace the levers, then reassemble the top portion, carry handle, and brush roll of the vacuum.
