Loose kirby nozzle (Kirby Classic; 1-CB)

[mistert]

Hey all...I'm working on a Kirby Classic Omega and the nozzle when attached to the machine, is a little loose. Any thoughts to tightening up the nozzle? It appears that one of the "hooks" may maybe a little worn out, but not exactly sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thred lock tight

If the screw that holds the rug nozzle lever is stripped this will prevent the head from being firmly attached.I have had sucess with removing the screw and apply some thred lock.

That sounds good...I'll try that. Thank you for the post!
