How to Access the Belt on a Bissel Proheat

A combination of cleaning fluid and suction allows your Bissell Proheat to eradicate dirt and grime. Beneath the vacuum, a brush roll stirs any dirt loose from carpeted surfaces. Both the pump and brush roll rely on belts to connect them to the motor. Examining the belts periodically helps ensure they remain in operating condition. Examining them closely first entails gaining access to them.
