How to Get the Belt Off of the Bissell Carpet Shampooer
- 1). Press the handle release pedal at the bottom of your Bissell carpet shampooer. Place the handle flat on the ground.
- 2). Grab the tank handle at the front of your vacuum and detach the tank from the vacuum. Some models of Bissell carpet shampooer also include a “Smart Mix” tank, located just in front of the main tank. Lift this tank straight up for removal.
- 3). Locate the belt door on the side of your Bissell carpet shampooer. A notch in the side of the door allows for the door's removal.
- 4). Insert the tip of a flat-bladed screwdriver into the notch, and pry the door away from the vacuum.
- 5). Lay the vacuum on the side opposite the belt door. Note the red plate just behind the brush roll.
- 6). Remove the screw from the side of the red plate using a slotted screwdriver. Detach the plate. Beneath the plate lies the brush belt arm.
- 7). Detach the brush belt arm. Removing the brush belt arm reveals the end of the brush roll.
- 8). Grab the belt attached to the brush roll and slide it off the side of the brush roll. Detach the other end of the belt from the red pulley.
- 9). Lift the pump belt from the side of the red pulley. Detach the other end of the belt from the motor shaft just behind the red pulley.
