How to replace belt on 6200 i cant stretch belt to put on

There are a couple of tricks. One is to put the belt on the shaft first and them roll it onto the brush roller. The other way which I did in my hotel (I had 3 of them) is to pull the brush out, put the belt on the spindle shaft, then onto the roller, the you can stretch the belt with it already in place and lower the roller into place.

The belts are stiff.

Try MCM electronics - they have all size belts and the trick is to replace the stretched out belt with one that is about a quarter to one half inch longer in circumference.

hi ,try warming the belt up in hot water first it will stretch better

Sounds like you bought the new belt little bit too short. I had that problem and had to take my old belt to compare lengths.

if its new car from 2007 then its a stretch belt ,look on back of old belt and on the new one

not absolutely sure of your exact model, but most washer belts on put on by putting them on the motor the stretching to the tub pulley and holding it there while you move the pulley which then stretches the belt to fit for you.

Put the belt onto all groved pulleys first, then un-tension the tensioner/idler pulley and slide the belt onto it (the tensioner/idler pulley should be smooth with no lip for the belt to go over).

yes your belts will stretch over time. if they do not rip apart first. and when a bent gets stretched it is recommended to replace it

Greetings from GoVacuum.com,

Have you replaced the belt with a new one yet? You may want to try replacing the belt, as with flat belts like the Fantom Thunder, they do stretch out 4 -5 inches after time. We in fact recommended replacing a flat belt every year, even if the belt doesn't break, because of the stretching. I think what may have happened, is that your belt is stretched to the point where it will not stay on the pulley as soon as there is any tension (putting the brushes on carpeting), which will cause the belt just to slip off.

You should be able to replace the belt (very inexpensive, we sell Fantom belt for $2) and this should take care of the problem. When you replace the belt, you should also take the roller brush apart and remove any hair, or thread that may be wrapped around the bearings. You should be able to remove the bearing cap by pulling them, or holding one end, and unscrewing the other.

I'd even be willing to send you a free Fantom Thunder belt, if you'd be so kind to vote Fixya for this answer :-) Just send me an email with your name, address, and the exact model number (located on the back of the machine, or the bottom of it) of your vacuum, and vote Fixya, I'll immediately ship you the belt for free!

Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help you with.

hi, In order to to replace the V belt the one that turns the brush, One must take off the bigger belt " drive belt" that goes over that hugh wheel towards the back. When a belt gets stretched they will not turn the brush very well. If you have bought replacement belts the bigger belt Drive comes 2 in a package. Then you have your little V belt that helps turn your roller brush over. Yes the belts don't last long on my hoover. For kpatr22101 When you rpelace that V belt it goes over the roller brush into a little groove on the brush and then over a plastic round wheel then you must put on that bigger drive belt that must fit over that hugh wheel towards back and smaller on in front. Yes it is hard to get on. the I hope this helps. Cindy G.
