  23. The floor nozzle was damaged during a repair attempt. The correct procedure for disassembly and reassembly could not be determined exactly. Therefore, only notes are provided here.
  24. The plug connection between the two circuit boards is extremely delicate. If the housing is opened carelessly, it can break.
  25. The plastic lever must be UNDER the button on the circuit board during reassembly. This requires a great deal of care during reassembly.
  26. If necessary, the long circuit board may need to be lifted slightly during reassembly by loosening the motor screws and rotating it slightly. This was not tested.
  27. The button on the circuit board pulls the gray wire to ground (black). A successful reassembly can be tested this way using a continuity tester.
