Question about Kirby Ultimate G Bagged Upright Vacuum

Belt replacement hi...well the belt is fine, its just that i can't figure out how its supposed to catch on to the hook thats connected to the handle that has the green and red arrows that say "belt on" and "belt off." the belt is just loose around the brush roll. the vacuum still works, it just doesn't seem right to have the belt on there if it's not "on" anything. how do i use the "belt on, belt off" handle to catch the belt so that it is actually "on" or "off" something?

The belt handle should be turned so the red arrow is lined up. Then make sure the belt is hooked on the inner assembly handle. Reconnect the vaccum assembly to vaccum and turn handle to allow green arrow to align and the belt is hooked on motor rod anmd your ready to vacuum.

NEED TO CHANGE A BELT

First you need to remove the metal cover to expose the brush roll assembly. Push up the plastic cover connected to the foot pedal to expose the motor shaft. Remove the brush roll assembly and simply hook the belt on the motor shaft first then pull back the brush roll and push the brush roll back to the slot. There's a small piece of plastic on the left hand side of the brush roll. This piece would go in after the brush is set in the slot. Finally, replace the metal cover.

Your belt is probably broken, stretched or worn. You can get a replacement belt here:

I can't figure out how to change the belt on my hoover bagless Sprint upright. Please help.

1 set up vacume with bottom facing you , making it easy to deal with.
2 remove the 4 screws holding base plate on and carefully remove the base plate, on mine there is a small catch that must be released.
3the belt compartment is on the right, remove the old belt, it's about 1 and 1/4 wide.
4 You have to put the belt on the stainless steel motor spindle first, then work the belt over the plastic drive wheel, and spin it around a few time to ensure it's running on track ok.
5 Replace the base plate , click in the self catching clip last.
6 Replace the four screws and test the vacume.

Brushes won't turn

Sounds like you have broken belt. I had the same thing happen, Got replacement belts, but can't figure out how to get the smaller belt back on. There two larger belts - one on each end of the brushes under the clear plastic covers. On the left side there a single silver metal gear, but nothing to hook up the other end of the small belt to drive the brushes. If you take yours apart let me know how to hook up the smaller belt.

Thanks,

Kirby generation3 instructions,

Hi there!

If you are talking about the main sweeper attatchment, Lift the light at the front of the upright machine, Make sure the belt inside the sweeper it is over the hook when you turn the handle on the front anti-clockwise to "belt off". Turning handle raises belt.
The hooks at the bottom of sweeper go over the bar at the base of the body. It helps to lift the wheels slightly.
When hooked on, rotate handle clockwise to "belt on" and close the light cover.

Is this solves the problem , please take a moment to rate as Fixya! If you need more help, just ask again on this question.
Thank you.

Bissell upright vac, brush on bottom does not rotate

The front brush motor will not engage until the power is turned on and the handle is in the down position. In the upright position the brush motor wont engage. Typical faults will be the belt is broken and needs replacing or the fornt brush motor needs replacing.

Attachment probs

Hi- Do you have a manual for the vacuum? My manual says to raise the headlight hood and then flip out the l-shaped handle on the belt lifter and turn it until the red arrows line up. Turn the accessory lock all the way to the left and the front should lift off. Then take the attachment hose and hook the two hooks over the bar and then push the hose up against the vacuum and lock into place by turning lever to the right. Does this help? Its kinda hard to explain without the pics.
