Its just not another vacuum cleaner belt and you may wonder why there are so many to choose from, but it is important to obtain the the correct belt for your vacuum cleaner, we also reccomend the one’s supplied by the manufacture’s of the vacuum cleaner that you have, we find that in most cases that these give a longer useful workinglife and because they are made to the correct tension they not cause extra wear on the motor and brush-roll bearings of your vacuum cleaner
When replacing the the belt always ensure that the motor drive shaft and brush-roll running track are clean and free of any debris and that the brush roll is free to rotate with out any undue resistance, fit the belt centrally on the brush-rool and motor shaft and rotate the by hand a few turns to ensure belt turns freely, if you have to fit a bottom or top cover after fittinfg the belt also then rotate the brush by hand again to ensure you have not trapedthe belt before operating the cleaner
