How to Replace a Dyson Animal Soleplate

Removal

• 1

  Detach the dirt bin from your Dyson Animal to allow the machine to lie flat. Gently lay your Animal vacuum facedown.

• 2

  Locate the three fasteners along the edges of the soleplate. Like screws, these fasteners have a notch on the head that allows for the use of a tool.

• 3

  Rotate each fastener one-quarter turn to the left. Use either a flat-bladed screwdriver with a wide head or a coin.

• 4

  Lift both sides of the soleplate away from the underside of your Dyson Animal. Use care when detaching the soleplate to prevent damaging it.

Installation

• 5

  Align the three soleplate fasteners with the three tabs on the underside of your Dyson Animal.

• 6

  Press the soleplate in place against the tabs. Check all around the soleplate to see that it's fitted correctly. Performance of the cleaner head relies partly on the proper alignment and attachment of the soleplate.

• 7

  Rotate each faster one-quarter turn to the right. Again choose either a flat-bladed screwdriver or coin for this operation.
