The manual shows how to remove an old belt, but not how to put in a new one. Does it go over the rotating brush?

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.

Apply this product to the underside of the belt with "LUBE.N.WALK" application wand which can be purchased from Amazon. Slide the lubricated wand under the belt and run it the length of the tread. It helps if you can have a second person assist you in this cleaning/lubricating process. You hold one end of the wand and your helper is on the other. Works like a charm.

No, but it is readily apparent which way it goes in. Take a photo of the old one before you remove it and you should be able to get it in right. Took all of ten minutes.

I have the same problem. The old brush stays on, the new one doesn't even click into place and detaches immediately. I try to hold it in place but it is a real hassle. The old one worked fine. Not sure what or why changes were made.

I can use attachments, but the sweeper brush, after 3 belt changes only NOW turns for about 30 seconds. I have owned MANY vacuums over the years and have laboriously changed MANY belts. I believe that I was sent a sub-standard product...

It might mean your belt that rotates the brush is not connected- I think the light goes off when the brush stops spinning for some reason...

There is no beater brush so if there is a belt it would be in the motor and not changeable. This vacuum works on suction only and it does a great job.

I didn't use the "tool" but I had to wrestle with it a bit to get the replacement in. My belt was in good shape so I didn't replace it. About a 20-30 minute job. Pay attention to the positions of the pieces as they come apart or it won't fit.

I guess you have considered a broken belt? Also, were both top buttons turned on? Is anything binding the brush (something- like string or other soft item) the brush? I haven't had that problem so I'm just throwing things at the wall. Good luck.

Did you ever get an answer to your question? Five years is a long time to wait, but last week I replaced the belt on my Hitachi P12RA Planer/Jointer. Let me know if you want details.

I have model # U4160H2R4 Type 7. I just compared the photos. Works like it's brand new. You will have to disassemble the bottom of the unit for the new install and clean out before installing the new parts. You will notice that the brush has two guide plates on both sides of the brush with the words old & new. I set it to the new setting. Installed the new belt and bag , and it works great ! About 30 minutes to change the parts out. Make sure you remove the side access cover for the belt, remove the old one and clean up the motor drive spindle of old rubber before installing the new one. I hope I have been helpful.

You have to remove the screws are under the roller carpet and remove the tap, after that you are going to see black belt and the old roller, both need to come up at the same time, and you ready to replace the new roller, good luck, I hope that help a little bit. Advise, if this going to be the first time to remove the old roller please take a picture how all have to came back in the correct place to operate properly, you can do it!!!.

Yes it is. Once the belt is slipped off, it is just a matter of pulling out the old bar and placing the new one. Pay attention to the direction of the black ends as well, they need to face the same way (they are designed so you can flip them halfway through the service life of the bar to move the brushes closer to the carpet) . All you need to access this is a Phillips screwdriver.

If you are speaking of the brush head, once you have the screws out just pull straight out. The belt is tight. I found the answer to the noise(if that is what you are doing) is to take and trim or carefully file to remove that small bit that may be rubbing. You have to do it running to keep it true. Once I trimmed the noise maker this unit has proven it is money well spent

Hi~When I ordered the vacuum from Amazon, there was a site that popped up called 'Vacuum Fix'. I ordered the belt to have just in case and extra bags. Good luck!

Yes it works.......the other pulleys with groves will keep the belt in its place

The outer belt is replaceable, but the inner (trapped) belt isn't. I'm a fairly 'mechanical' person, but I still watched the online videos and tried to analyze where Murphy's Law would be operative. Certainly the stretching of the two belts to get them properly placed is a potential trouble spot. If a belt is damaged in any way (nicked, over-stretched) it would be sure to lead to premature failure. Or something causing undue load on the belt, such as bad brush bearings of a 'wrap' of carpet yarn could also be a problem. So, in my amateur analysis, I'd say that (1) the belt had a defect, or (2) was damaged or stressed, causing the failure. As to warranty... hope you saved the receipt! But if you are certain that you installed the clutch properly and carefully, then the belt may have been defective. Good luck!! (rel)
