Kirby Black Rug Renovator Tray
$33.99
Product details
304784S is the black tray that carries Kirby's Rug Renovator shampoo attachment, built for a long run of older Kirby uprights beginning with the D50 and D80. The compatibility roster below runs from those machines through the Legend II, so check your model against the full list before ordering.
Shampoo solution rides in the tray while the rotating brush works through it, and the whole attachment gets pulled across the floor bearing the vacuum's weight during use, so the outer rim and the mounting tabs are the spots most likely to give out first. A cracked tray rarely fails all at once, and instead it leaks a little at a time, which shows up as streaky wet patches trailing the machine rather than an even damp pass. Trays that have spent years dry in a garage or attic can also turn brittle with age, so flex the rim gently and look for hairline cracks before the first job of the season rather than finding a leak mid-carpet. Rinsing the tray out after each use keeps dried shampoo residue from speeding that aging up.
Confirm the attachment sits flush before the first use, since a tray that is not seated correctly can leak the same way a cracked one does, even when brand new. The tray also forms the structural base the rest of the shampooer bolts to, so catching a crack early keeps it from spreading into the mounting points that hold the rest of the shampooer together.
