Yesterday I was vacing the living room carpet with the Compact C9 (with Eureka PN) & I didn't realize the PN wasn't picking up the dirt until I turned the PN upside-down & found out the belt had slipped off the brush roll pulley. I re-installed the belt, only for it to snap in ½ (length-wise)! Then I put on a new belt & the belt snapped again but across the belt width (like most belts do)
What could be the problem? I'm using genuine Eureka PT belt & had put in a new PN motor & brush roller. This is my 1st use of the PN since putting in a new belt, motor & brush roller; before I used the metal Compact rug tool (it says Compact on front) Could my carpet be the possible culprit? Its 1970s/early 80s-era w/w shag carpet (surprisingly still in good shape w/o rips/tears)
Should I be using genuine Compact/TriStar belt instead of Eureka belt?
