Maintenance & Care

Replace drive belt

1. 

Turn the power switch off and unplug the 

vacuum from the electrical outlet. Remove floor 

brush following steps 2-4 on page 11.

2. 

With the rotating floor brush removed from 

the vacuum cleaner, grasp the old drive belt and 

remove from the motor pulley. Discard the old 

drive belt. 

3. 

Place the new drive belt over the motor pul-

ley, pass the belt through the opening of the belt 

ON/OFF mechanism and loop the belt over the 

rotating floor brush in the space between the 

bristles.

NOTE: It is important that you use only genuine 

BISSELL replacement belts.  Generic belts many 

not meet the exact specifications required to 

keep your vacuum operating at its peak perfor-

mance. The use of unbranded belts could lead 

to early failure of the vacuum and could void 

your warranty.

4. 

Place ends of the rotating floor brush down 

into the slots on the sides.  Alignment of brush 

ends is necessary  

to ensure the brush is fully inserted.

5. 

Turn the rotating floor brush by hand several 

times.  If properly installed,  

the drive belt will center itself on the rotating 

floor brush crown.

6. 

Place the brush cover back and secure with  

its screws.
