Nitrogen in Tires vs. Air:
Costco has been using this as an added service with tire purchases for the past few years in Canada. Benefits: 1) does not escape or dissipate from the tire as quickly as air. With my winter to summer changeover, the nitrogen tires, I never have to add, the air filled ones will always require a few pounds. 2) nitrogen tires run cooler--regular air can increase by as much as 4 PSI, I've only experienced a 1-2 PSI increase with nitrogen. As ambient temperature changes, with each 9-10 degree temperature change, both air and nitrogen will vary by about 1 psi.
Hope this observation of mine helps out!

Bud,
The belt on mine had a little too much slack, so I adjusted that. I do think you have a point with the brush stiffness. I changed mine to a Cleveland Woods brush, my next move is to try the OEM Lux one. The pn motor in the Perfect I believe is the same as what Lux is using at the moment as well. It is a different motor than what Lux used years ago, which probably accounts for the noise difference as well.

Hello Venson,
Yes, the perfect power nozzle has the lux style cogged belt. It almost sounded as if the belt were too loose, causing the cogs to jump out of position under load. How did I adjust the tension?? Loosened up the two screws holding the motor in position, and slid the motor straight back to put more tension on the belt. (given the limited amount adjustment that is available) The motor does not have the fixed mounting positions as do the later lux models, this is a close copy cat of the PN5. All my PN2, PN4, and PN5 you were able to slide the motor to allow for approximately 3/16 of an inch play in the belt. Although this unit closely resembles a PN5, the motor is different. I am wondering if the difference in the motor and the way it is mounted is the cause
