Aquabot Parts Replacement-Drive Belts
CHANGING the BELTS Depending on usage, some Aquabot parts wear sooner than others. The two (2) drive belts located behind the side plate on the drive motor side of the Aquabot, may be stretched or broken. Turn the Aquabot upside down. Remove the bottom plate and the filter bag. Inside the Aquabot body, locate and loosen the four (4) screws holding the side plate on the motor side. Then... Remove the drive tracks. They are the rubber belts that wrap around both sides of the wheel tubes. Remove a wheel tube from the side plate...be careful to hang onto the slotted bushings on the tip of the wheel tubes and take off the drive track. Where are the slotted wheel bushings? There may be an identical bushing that supports the motor drive shaft and fits the center of the side plate. Keep them safe. Remove the 4 loose screws from inside the body. BEFORE removing the side plate, look at how the drive belts are positioned on the rollers. These bushings and rollers may fall off the side plate when it is removed NOTE: The bushings are mounted on the sideplate. Holding the sideplate bushing-side-UP will prevent them from falling off. Remove the two old belts, install the new belts. The belts run under the large side of the stepped pulleys and into the channel on the drive gear. Stepped pulleys have one end bigger than the other. Re-assemble the machine.. .done!
