Installation Instructions
Replacing the brushroll belt is a common maintenance task. Always ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged before performing any maintenance or installation procedures to prevent electric shock or injury.
- Safety First: Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet.
- Access the Brushroll: Turn the vacuum cleaner over so the brushroll is accessible. You may need to remove a bottom plate or cover. This usually involves unscrewing several screws.
- Remove Old Belt: Carefully remove the brushroll. Locate the old belt, which will likely be stretched, worn, or broken. Remove it from both the motor shaft and the brushroll.
- Install New Belt: Loop the new belt around the motor shaft. Then, stretch the belt around the brushroll. Ensure the belt is centered and not twisted.
- Reinstall Brushroll: Place the brushroll back into its housing, ensuring the belt remains properly seated on both the motor shaft and the brushroll. Spin the brushroll manually a few times to confirm the belt is correctly aligned and moves freely.
- Secure Cover: Reattach any covers or bottom plates that were removed, securing them with screws.
- Test: Plug the vacuum cleaner back in and test its operation. The brushroll should spin freely and effectively.
Refer to your specific vacuum cleaner model's user manual for detailed diagrams and instructions, as procedures may vary slightly.
Maintenance
Regular inspection of your vacuum belt can extend its lifespan and maintain cleaning performance.
- Inspect Regularly: Check the belt every 3-6 months, or if you notice a decrease in brushroll performance or a burning smell.
- Signs of Wear: Replace the belt if it appears stretched, cracked, frayed, or if the brushroll stops spinning.
- Brushroll Cleaning: Keep the brushroll free of tangled hair, threads, and debris, as this can put extra strain on the belt and motor.
Troubleshooting
If your vacuum's brushroll is not functioning correctly after belt replacement, consider the following:
- Brushroll Not Spinning:
- Ensure the new belt is correctly installed and not twisted.
- Check for any obstructions in the brushroll housing or tangled around the brushroll itself.
- Verify the brushroll is properly seated in its bearings.
- Burning Smell:
- Immediately unplug the vacuum.
- This often indicates a slipping belt or an overloaded brushroll. Check for obstructions.
- If the belt is new, ensure it's the correct size and tension.
- Belt Breaks Quickly:
- Ensure the brushroll is not jammed or difficult to turn manually.
- Verify you are using the correct belt type and size for your specific vacuum model.
If issues persist, consult a qualified service technician or Eureka customer support.
