    On my vacuum there are not 9 Phillips head screws. There are 2 Phillips head screws and 7 star head screws. If you have any sense at all when you put your vacuum back together you will throw away these star head screws and replace them with Phillips head screws of like thread and length.

    There is no need to remove the rear wheel axle screws to remove the top.

    I can’t find the right bit for these screws. What size/type are they??? Mine are not star bits…

    On other vacuum models Shark uses Torx security screws. The Torx/Star screwdriver/bit needs to have a hole in the end to accommodate the pin inside the Tork screw head.

Good day, I have a rotator lift away NV500 my belt indicator light stopped working but I was still getting suction. I replaced the filters and hep filters,as well as changed the belt. I cleaned off the dust and then carefully put the vacuum back to gather. I went to plug it in all worked until I pushed the roller brush indicator on and it still did not work. What else could it be? Any suggestions.

I await your reply

Great instructions - the 11mm hidden screws plus one more were tricky to find. Thanks so much for the great graphics and very clear disassembly steps; I almost gave up and was going to take it to a dealer for a costly repair fee. Thanks again!

I found no 11mm screws, + type. On my machine all the screw were T10H or T15H security type screws.
