The belt ran in a channel shielded from the air stream, as I remember it was a great design, very over engeneered, but hard to change. |

Dyson is a pain to change, especially on the DC07 and 14. Lately, I've been bugged with the newer Eurekas where you have to stuff the belt around the shaft first and then roll the brushroll downwards and install it into the machine. We do Hoover Self Propelled machines daily and those are a breeze. As Fred said- wrap around the shaft first and then "roll" it onto the transmission.

DD brushrolls aren't good either-a belt is less expensive-when a DD brushroll fails-they are EXPENSIVE to replace-the motor is inside the brushroll. |

The old Lux uprights belts are a pain in the a__ to change. After several Lux technicians were slightly maimed taking them apart due to the spring mechanism, Lux, "headquarters", advised wearing safety goggles---just to change a belt for cryin' out loud!
Fortunately, you don't see too many of those beasts around anymore. Charlie |
