This sounds like a bad or bent beater bar try replacing it.... If this doesn't help then the motor shaft is bent and cheaper to replace with new vacuum
Check that the motor and the beater are seated properly. If they are not square to each other then the belt may walk sideways.

You may have a bad brush roll, part #61250-1, or the base itself has a problem and isn't letting the brush roll sit straight so it can be in alignment.

very simple under all three screws in the front (two on sides and one in back) once open--you can take off that panel...take brush out...take old belt out...put new belt on..around brush..place both inside...and make sure belt is around that little pole thing towards the back close panel, replace screws

It could be an old belt even if the upright is new. Check that the beater bar is not clogged with dust or threads and find a replacement belt for this vacuum and fit it to see if there is any difference. If not, then there's a problem with the vac and it should be returned.

Hi there SmartAlec from NelsonVacuums.com.au there are 2 basic causes for this to happen.
1. The belt has become stretched over time (can be as short as a few months). This will need a new vacuum belt i can supply these for all vacuum cleaners at my website.
2. The drive shaft has actually moved slightly - this can happen when 1 or more of the mounting points for the motor cracks or breaks allowing the motor to turn slightly in the housing.
Basically i would suggest try changing the belt for a new one before attempting to fix the mountings as that it a bit of a tricky job. Unless it is under warranty in which case take it back to your dealer and let them deal with it.
* please note * belts are not covered under warranty so change that first otherwise you will get a repair bill for something that is really easy to fix.
Hope this helps.
Happy Vacuuming! :)

The small belt rarely gives the problem you describe. The larger belt can jump off if the belt is worn or if th roller gets caught on something suddenly.The belt should be replaced every 9 - 12 months. If your carpet setting is too low this will cause the belts to wear faster that the estimated given time
