I pair my Royal upright with--A Royal Power Tank canister vacuum.Avoids futzing with belts.and gives better above floor performance,too.Yes I put Royals up there with Kirbys for carpet vacuuming. |

Hi.
This is what I would do with my old Royal cleaner. First, unplug the machine for safety reasons. It is too easy for something to trip the switch such as the edge of a throw rug,coffee table leg, etc. By all means, unplug it. Then, I would use a large screwdriver and slip the belt over the motor shaft with that. A long, thick, heavy screwdriver makes it easier because of the leverage. Hope this helps; I envy you. An unused, practically NOS blue Royal is quite a find.I am jealous. I used to have an 880 that I really liked. I'm still sorry that I got rid of it. Best of luck with your Royal. BTW, do you have any pics you could post of it and its attachments? |
