I just ordered a new powerdrive belt for my power max machine. I installed the belt the way the manual said to do. So then I turned the machine on then flipped the Powerdrive switch on and then nothing. the belt spins on the pulley but the Powerdrive wheels don’t spin. Does anybody know what’s wrong or am I misssing something? Please help me get my machine running!

The culprit
I found that right behind the little headlight cover the wire that connects to the arm snapped.

Repairman
Thank you so much! I took the vacuum apart and did not remove the plastic tube. What would I do with this little copper piece where the wire connects to. Do I remove the copper piece?

I apologize for the bad advice. I completely forgot that the cable could have failed. It did.
Did the cable snap internally? It looks to me like the cable end simply slipped out from the nut sandwiching it to the drive arm which swings back and forth on the front of the machine. If this is the case, I believe you would be able to simply loosen the nut and re-connect the cable. As for the copper piece: it is a permanent part of the cable. The copper piece bends at 90 degrees and inserts into the handle grip. I was able to simply pull it straight out from my Hoover Concept's handle grip with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. Good luck! | ||
