Does the manual include tips on what to do should the belt become loose or woobly?

Hello, yes it is in the troubleshooting page. How to adjust belt, etc. Thank you

I can't completely answer that but will share my experience. Maybe it will be helpful. When I wear the belt I do sweat under the belt. I have noticed that my skin is smoother and believe that if I wore it regularly I would loose inches.

I use mine about all the time. A loose button down shirt worn over the belt works ok for me. With a tee shirt, I just use a pocket holster. Hope this helps.

The belt should be snug enough to where you are able to bend, stretch, or squat. If the belt pops a loose you will probably need to adjust it. Start with outer belt first and then the inner belt. If the belt keeps coming a loose, get a bigger size belt. If overlaps to much, you need a smaller size.Hopes this help."November"

There should have been a manual in the box and a parts list for it included. I would search online for a belt, you can find just about any part if you look for it.

Did you ever figure out what causes the noise? I have exactly the same problem. I does sound like the belt is rubbing against something.

I will say this, the instuctions for installing the belt are not clear and in the picture the lock stop is actually on the wrong side. Not sure if that is your problem. If the belt is installed correctly and it's still binding then it might just be defective.

The manufacture suggests wetting the belt can help it slide on but I was able to slid it on dry and it stays in place just fine. The fit should be snug, but if you can't get it on at all I'd probably contact the seller / manufacturer.

You can also tighten the belt. That will add more resistance and stop the belt from moving too quickly. That's what I did to mine. The how-to part is in the instruction manual.

I also am having the same problem. I called the customer service number & she said to make a loop and get it just right and it comes right off. Not on mine. There doesn't seem to be a slot where the old belt can slide off. Help?? Anyone??

Yes the belt is very easy to adjust, you will have to make some modifications to keep it in place.

I have been recently having the same issue with the belt slipping off. It isn't breaking, just slipping off. Very frustrating being in the middle of vacuuming or almost done and having to stop, find a screwdriver, undo six stupid screws and then fighting and breaking nails and crunching fingers to put the belt back on only to have it slip off again next time. I replaced the belt with the replacement belt that came with it and it too, slipped off. I made sure to clean the bar and brushes off thoroughly, including any little strings or hair that has wrapped itself around and tried sliding the belt on as far to the inside as possible. I also empty the dirt chamber often and make sure not to set the vacuum too low. This seems to have helped. However, if it continues to happen, I am going to try to find some kind of tiny rubber washer or "o" ring to wedge against the belt on the metal rod. It's too bad--for an economical vacuum, I sure like it, but if this continues, I'm going to return it.

I don't believe that loosening the belt will fix whatever problem you are having. The pieces fit together in such a way... there is no way for the belt to prevent the brush from coming out of position. You must have a different problem, such as the beater bar being out of position during reassembly.

Video instruction for DC07 Animal, the same one I have. shows you how to take apart and replace the belt also, and how the brush replacement tool is useful.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_CtaFcc5HU

Yes there is a Velcro closure at the end to stop the end from flapping around. It does not secure the belt.

It not that bad, anthough I did need to renforce the belt loop. Otherwise I've been using it for the last several month with no issues.

I have had the same problem with the main belt falling off. It appears that the large and small pulleys are not lined up forcing the belt to ride on the edge of the large pulley nearest the blades. There seems to be no way to align the pulleys. Next stop is the dealer.
