Dirt Devil Style 7 Vacuum Belt Instruction Manual

Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the Dirt Devil Style 7 Replacement Vacuum Belt, Model 3400615. This belt is specifically designed for use with Dirt Devil RoomMate vacuum cleaners to ensure optimal brush roll performance. Each package contains two replacement belts.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to safely and correctly replace the vacuum belt:

1. Safety First: Always unplug your Dirt Devil RoomMate vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet before performing any maintenance or installation procedures.
2. Access the Brush Roll: Turn the vacuum cleaner upside down on a clean, flat surface. Locate the brush roll cover, typically secured by screws or latches.
3. Remove Cover: Use a screwdriver (if necessary) to remove the screws holding the brush roll cover in place. Carefully lift and remove the cover.
4. Remove Old Belt: If an old belt is present, carefully remove it from the motor shaft and the brush roll. Dispose of the old belt properly.
5. Install New Belt: Place the new Dirt Devil Style 7 replacement belt around the motor shaft. Then, stretch the belt around the brush roll. Ensure the belt is centered and not twisted.
6. Reassemble: Carefully place the brush roll back into its housing, ensuring the belt remains properly seated on both the motor shaft and the brush roll. Reattach the brush roll cover and secure it with the screws or latches.
7. Test: Plug the vacuum cleaner back into the electrical outlet and turn it on briefly to ensure the brush roll spins freely and correctly.

Operating Instructions

Once the Dirt Devil Style 7 replacement belt is correctly installed, your Dirt Devil RoomMate vacuum cleaner will operate as usual. Ensure the brush roll rotates freely when the vacuum is powered on, indicating proper belt function. Refer to your original Dirt Devil RoomMate vacuum cleaner manual for specific operating instructions.

Maintenance

To prolong the life of your vacuum belt and maintain optimal performance:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the Style 7 belt for signs of wear, such as cracks, fraying, stretching, or loss of elasticity.
• Prompt Replacement: Replace the belt immediately if any signs of wear or damage are observed to prevent further damage to the vacuum cleaner or reduced cleaning performance.
• Brush Roll Cleaning: Regularly clean the brush roll to remove tangled hair, threads, and debris. Excessive build-up can put strain on the belt and motor, leading to premature belt failure.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after replacing your vacuum belt, consider the following:

• Brush Roll Not Spinning:
  • Check Belt Installation: Ensure the Style 7 belt is correctly seated on both the motor shaft and the brush roll, and that it is not twisted.
  • Inspect Belt Condition: The new belt might be faulty or improperly manufactured. Inspect it for any defects.
  • Clear Obstructions: Remove any debris, hair, or foreign objects that might be jamming the brush roll.
• Reduced Suction or Cleaning Performance:
  • While not directly caused by the belt, a non-spinning brush roll due to a faulty belt can significantly reduce cleaning effectiveness. Verify the brush roll is spinning.
  • Ensure the belt is not stretched, as a loose belt may not effectively drive the brush roll.
