The Belt to Drive the Brush

This machine uses a round rubber belt to drive the brush. Check the belt frequently. Replace the belt if the belt slips on the brush. Remove hair and threads from the brush roll and the motor shaft pulley before replacing the belt.

How to Replace the Belt

To replace the drive belt, follow this procedure:

1. Make sure the electrical plug is removed from the outlet.

2. Put the machine upside down.

3. To remove the bottom plate, turn the two cam latches on the sides of the plate.

4. Remove the worn belt from the pulley on the motor shaft. See figure 4.

5. To remove the brush, pull the brush out of the slots in the frame.

6. Clean the vacuum opening in the base of the machine.

7. Check the bristles of the brush for wear. If the bristles are worn, see the section "What to Do about the Wear of the Brush."

8. Put a new belt around the pulley on the brush.

Align the brush roll pulley with the belt guide. See figure 5.
