Dirt Devil Style 2 Belts User Manual

Introduction

This manual provides instructions for the proper installation and maintenance of Dirt Devil Style 2 Belts, designed for use with compatible Dirt Devil Broom Vacuums. Please read these instructions carefully before attempting to replace the belt.

Safety Information

• Always unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet before performing any maintenance or belt replacement.
• Allow the vacuum to cool down if it has been recently used, as some parts may be hot.
• Use only genuine Dirt Devil replacement parts to ensure proper fit and performance.
• Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing away from moving parts.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to replace the drive belt on your Dirt Devil Broom Vac:

1. Prepare the Vacuum: Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power outlet. Lay the vacuum flat on a clean, stable surface with the brush roll facing upwards.
2. Access the Brush Roll: Depending on your specific Dirt Devil Broom Vac model, you may need to remove a bottom plate or cover to access the brush roll and belt. Refer to your vacuum's original user manual for specific instructions on accessing this area.
3. Remove the Old Belt: Carefully remove the worn or broken belt from around the brush roll and motor shaft. Note how the old belt was routed for easier installation of the new one.
4. Install the New Belt: Loop one end of the new Dirt Devil Style 2 Belt around the motor shaft. Then, stretch the belt around the brush roll. Ensure the belt is centered and not twisted.
5. Reassemble: Once the new belt is securely in place, reattach any covers or plates that were removed. Ensure all screws are tightened.
6. Test: Plug in the vacuum and briefly turn it on to ensure the brush roll spins freely and the new belt is functioning correctly.

Operating Considerations

Once the new belt is installed, your Dirt Devil Broom Vac should operate as intended. A properly functioning belt ensures the brush roll spins effectively, agitating carpet fibers and picking up debris. If the brush roll does not spin or spins intermittently after belt replacement, re-check the installation steps.

Maintenance

Regular inspection of your vacuum's drive belt is crucial for optimal performance. Over time, belts can stretch, crack, or break due to normal wear and tear, or if the brush roll becomes jammed. Replace the belt immediately if you notice any signs of wear or if the brush roll stops spinning.

• Frequency: Inspect the belt every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the vacuum is used heavily.
• Signs of Wear: Look for cracks, fraying, stretching, or a glazed appearance on the belt.
• Brush Roll Cleaning: Periodically remove hair and debris from the brush roll to prevent excessive strain on the belt.
