Vax Belt

Product Description

What does the carpet washer belt do?
The carpet washer belt is a key component of an carpet washer. Its primary function is to turn the agitator brush bar, which is used to beat dirt and dust out of the carpets. Carpet washer belts are made of rubber and they are stretched between the motor pulley, which powers the belt, and the brush bar/agitator.

Is a faulty belt causing the problem?
The following faults typically indicate a problem with the carpet washer belt:

o The carpet washer is on but it doesn't seem to pick up
o The carpet washer has the smell of burnt rubber
o The carpet washer cleaner has become harder to push
o The brush roll/agitator has stopped spinning
*Remember that a snapped or loose carpet washer belt is the most likely cause, but this may not be the only fault that can cause these issues to arise.

When should you replace a carpet washer belt?
Carpet washer belts need to be replaced as soon as they become damaged. They are designed to snap if the brush roll becomes blocked in order to protect the motor. To ensure that your carpet washer maintains effective performance it is usually suggested that you replace the belt around every 4 - 6 months as they can easily become stretched. It is also recommended that you keep a spare carpet washer belt in the cupboard, so you are prepared.
