Where can I get a manual for a Fantom Thunder vaccuum model # F12052 00?

All manuals are free if they are available. Your make model seems incomplete, I see Euro-Pro and Shark in the results. The search query for this is just three words;

..

on all vacuum cleaners the air flow cools the motor. If the filter is sufficiently clogged there would not have enough air flow to cool the motor and trips out from over heat. Clean out the filter thoroughly and try again.

Heparrest has the manual to the Fantom Thunder here: http://www.heparrest.net/Fantom_Thunder.pdf . You will need Adobe Reader or a similar program to read the manual.

I hope this helps.

I found a manual for the Fantom Stick Vac, model FS801 (your model may be different).
For "Cleaning Air Driven Turbo Brush", it says:

1. Remove the turbo brush from the hose or extension tube.
2. Slide locking latch forward, then tilt the top housing of the brush upwards. The top housing is hinged and will tilt up approximately 45 degrees only.
3. There may be some dust, lint, hair, etc. on the turbine wheel. Remove as much of this as possible.
4. You may also use the unit's hose with the crevice tool attached, and use the vacuum to remove any additional debris from the turbine.
5. Ensure that the turbine wheel moves freely by rotating it with your finger. If the turbine does not rotate, call Customer Service for help.
6. Once clean, close the top cover of the turbo brush and slide the locking latch towards the rear of the brush to lock.

There is also an image in the manual that might help. You can download the manual for free here.

Hope this helps!

depending on your model, and I am going from memory on this one. I have not seen this model in a while.

1 headlight on the unit:
there are 2 screws on the back of the cover for the brush. Just above the wheels. Remove those two screws and the cover will come off.

2 headlights on the unit:
use a small screwdriver to remove the headlight lens covers, remove both of the light bulbs, and then the two screws are under the lights. there MAY be 2 more screws again at the back of the unit above the 2 rear wheels to remove as well. again the cover should come off and you will have full access to the belt/brush under there.

there are two screws on the Fantom Thunder (It was not made by Eureka though) on the back of the unit just above the rear wheels. Remove these two screws and the top cover can be removed to get to the brushroll, belt and headlights. I believe the light bulbs in this unit are 12 Volt, not 110 volt.

sounds like you have something stuck in the air way you can flip the vac over and they had trap door you open to clean it you may have to use coat hanger straigten out with a small hook on the end

Greetings from GoVacuum.com,

Have you replaced the belt with a new one yet? You may want to try replacing the belt, as with flat belts like the Fantom Thunder, they do stretch out 4 -5 inches after time. We in fact recommended replacing a flat belt every year, even if the belt doesn't break, because of the stretching. I think what may have happened, is that your belt is stretched to the point where it will not stay on the pulley as soon as there is any tension (putting the brushes on carpeting), which will cause the belt just to slip off.

You should be able to replace the belt (very inexpensive, we sell Fantom belt for $2) and this should take care of the problem. When you replace the belt, you should also take the roller brush apart and remove any hair, or thread that may be wrapped around the bearings. You should be able to remove the bearing cap by pulling them, or holding one end, and unscrewing the other.

I'd even be willing to send you a free Fantom Thunder belt, if you'd be so kind to vote Fixya for this answer :-) Just send me an email with your name, address, and the exact model number (located on the back of the machine, or the bottom of it) of your vacuum, and vote Fixya, I'll immediately ship you the belt for free!

Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help you with.

Thank you for your fast reply, I took off the screws on the lid and replaced the belt with no problem
