Step on the release pedal and recline the handle down onto the floor.You'll want to remove tank in tank and smart mix tanks, then remove belt access door located near the floor cleaning/tools switch by inserting a flat head screw driver into the slot nearest to the handle. Turn machine on its side so that access area is facing upward.On the bottom of the machine, near the belt access area, is a read retainer plate that holds the black brush arm and brush in place. Using a phillips screw driver remove the screw that holds the red retainer plate in place. Set red retainer plate and screw to side.You'll now want to remove the toothed brush belt from the brush then from the red pump pulley. Set aside the toothed brush belt. If any, remove broken pump belt.
With the unit still on its side, loop one end of the replacement pump belt around the red pump pulley and the other around the silver motor shaft, try not to twist the belt! Re- install the toothed brush belt first onto the red pump pulley and then onto the toothed end of the brush. Place the black brush arm into base of unit. The black brush arm and brush should slide easily into original position,then re-install the red retainer plate with screw. Using your finger gently spin the replacement pump belt on the silver motor shaft. If assembled correctly the replacement pump belt should rotate freely around the silver motor shaft. The brush should also rotate freely when the silver motor shaft is turned. Turn the machine right side up and replace the Tank in Tank and smart mix tank and belt access door. Now your belt is replaced and the machine should be ready to clean!
