Help with cleaning vacuum motor SP-300v

[StacyT]

I was told to clean the vacuum motor at the back of my SP-300v. Does anyone have instructions for how to do this?

Remove the back lower cover. You will need an allen key to undo the two bolts on each fan. Dont lose the white spacers that go in those bolts.

Thank you. And then do I just blow it out with a can of compressed electrical dusting spray?

Simple task, just fiddly.

You can almost pick the dust and rubbish off them. You will see when you get the fan out.. It's something very few do during the life of a machine, but you will really notice the difference on how much suction you didn't have.

Awesome -- I really appreciate your quick reply. I always get nervous when I'm tasked with doing something new with this. I'm so reliant on it that I'm scared to mess anything up!

Thanks Stacy for posting this post! I have a 300v and never thought about the vacuum fan...just finished pulling and cleaning the fan for the first time in 14 years...what a difference! I had to turn the vacuum power down to half (had it at max for the last five years or so...now i know why).
