how do you replace the belt? We tried to replace the belt but can't get the old one off the motor shaft

The roller with the bristles can be removed from its housing. This releases tension off of the belt and allows it to be removed from the motor shaft. Reverse for installation.

I also am having the same problem. I called the customer service number & she said to make a loop and get it just right and it comes right off. Not on mine. There doesn't seem to be a slot where the old belt can slide off. Help?? Anyone??

I am in the same dilemma...I took off the beater bar, but the motor shaft goes all the way to the other side, and there is no gap to take the belt on or off...help!

Hi Lez, Thumler has one of the best Customer Service Departments I've ever dealt with. I called, and they sent me a replacement pulley & drive-belt, for a very reasonable price. Call this number: 1-800-225-1017 Or visit this page: http://www.thumlerstumbler.com/contact.html Hope this helps. Bill

The knob on the side of the belt cover unscrews allowing you to access the belt. Once you have the cover open you can work the belt onto another groove to reset the speed. It might help to use a small flat screwdriver to pry the belt over a larger groove. Once I had the belt off it wasn't difficult to reset it. ( it helps to turn the spindles while you're moving the belt)

You can't just replaced the motor you have to replace the motor and the speed controller, the speed controller actually cost more than the motor, it'll probably cost u $160-$180

There is a belt that goes over 2 wheels You have to open the over over the motor on the back left side to see them. Then you have to lift the motor with the handle and then manually move the pully and then move the handle back down It is easier than it sounds

I have never had to replace a belt before. However, we have vacuum cleaner repair shops in our area. Perhaps you should check your yellow pages for a store near you and inquire. I have also seen repair parts in stores that sell vacuums like Walmart etc.

I looked on gates website for mine too. All i remember is it was a slightly tough job but my belt never came off again. I even had someone hit the throttle several times while i sprayed it with my water hose. Didnt even squeal after the install but keep up with the belt part number because the stock belt no longer works

I USED BROKEN BELT, SEVERAL SITES THAT SELL BELTS AND ASKED A LOCAL GUY THAT DOES REPAIRS. Note got it wrong first time then went with ALL above. Also used the model nr off mower. This whole belt thing can get very confusing if you do not at least, double check and use all sources to get them all to agree.

Unsure, I have only owned this sweep less than 6 months. I hope I don't have the experience replacing belts for a LONG time. You may want to try the customer service for assistance or check with a local sweeper repair/parts center? Good luck.

Check the belt first. It might be broken or just dried out and slipping on the pulley. Next, check to make sure your cable is ok. You might need to adjust it to get the belt to engage.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

The part/plate the motor is mounted on held by one or two screws. Remove this part and unplug power wires, remove motor and replace. Reassemble.

Video instruction for DC07 Animal, the same one I have. shows you how to take apart and replace the belt also, and how the brush replacement tool is useful.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_CtaFcc5HU

Did your wheelchair originally have a belt? My daughter's chair did, so all I had to do was unbolt and remove the old belt and replace it by bolting on the new one. It helps if you engage the lock in the middle, so that you don't get one side upside down and have to repeat the process.

Not sure we just replaced the motor. I think it should tell you on box or go to YouTube and it will tell you how to do it. Sorry not much help. Works good!
