THERE IS A SINGLE SCREW ON THE SIDE OF THE VAC KNOWN AS THE 'BELT DOOR'.
LAY VAC ON IT'S RIGHT SIDE, SO THE BELT DOOR IS STICKING STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR. REMOVE DOOR AND BELT DOOR. CUT OLD BELT IF IT IS NOT BROKEN. TUCK NEW BELT UNDER BRUHROLL PULLEY FIRST THEN STRECH OVER MOTOR SHAFT.
DO NOT REPLACE BELT BY REMOVING BASEPLATE. 1) THE MOTOR IS NOT STABLE ENOUGH FOR THE TIGHT BELTS WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE MOTOR 2) REPLACING BASEPLATE IMPOPERLY MAKES VACUUMING DIFFICULT. ">
First removed the 5 screws that hold the bottom plate in place and remove it. Note how the brush is positioned in the base. The new belt is first placed around the motor shaft, and then around the brush. When pushing the brush back into the housing, be sure the series of notches in the plastic end caps face the carpet. It is easiest to get the belt side of the brush started into it's slot, and then line up and insert the other side. Expect some resistance, as the belt must be stretched several inches. After replacing the bottom plate, the vacuum should be ready to use.
