Belts, made of a rubber composition, will stretch and wear out from normal operation. They also lose effectiveness and elasticity from age and heat.  


If an accidental jam or improper height adjustment momentarily causes the revolving brush to stop, a burn spot in the belt may result, causing a burnt rubber odor. In these cases, the belt is most often damaged and should be replaced immediately.
