Important Safety Tips
Always make sure your machine is unplugged and the power button is turned off, before servicing your vacuum.
Rainbow E-series 1 speed
To remove the water separator nut you can use the wrench that usually comes with the E-series vacuum cleaners. If you don’t have that, you can use a ½” socket or just a flat head screwdriver.
Rainbow SE models
The best way we’ve found to remove the nut on SE cans is to insert the flat head screwdriver into the slot on top of the nut and push down on the water separator with your other hand - just like we showed in the previous vacuum cleaner. If you do need more leverage, you will need a 9/16” socket or wrench.
Rainbow E2 models
Here we are showing you an E2 Black, but this technique will work on the E2 Gold and the E2 Blue as well. These are a little different because you can’t use a flat head screwdriver since there is no slot on top of the nut. You will also note that the nut is plastic, so you don’t want to use a metal socket or wrench on it.
Belt and Filter Change
One of the most common things you can do with serving your Rainbow is checking the belt and HEPA filter if your model has one. These are easy replacements and can make a world of difference in performance.
Replace Damaged Or Broken Parts
In many cases, a damaged part needs to be replaced before it breaks any further, and before it causes damage to the unit. Many of the replacements can be ordered online through our website, or ordered by calling one of our specialists.
