How do i install a vacuum belt?
It should loop around the roller, Rachelle, then twist one-quarter turn to hook over the motor shaft (the steel one that points straight down). Now, it CAN be hooked over the motor shaft in either of two directions, depending upon which direction you twist it - one way will make the roller run backwards and probably pop the belt back off the shaft. The other way is the correct way - if the roller rotates the correct direction when you bump the power switch, then it's on correctly.

Not picking up. No suction
Make sure good suction at the end of hose and no clogs in tube hose goes into at bottom of vacuum. If good make sure belt is new and brush roll spins fast when lowered onto carpet. It may need clutch adjusted or rubber pad replaced.
Low suction
REplace the filters and belt. If it's been a few years since it's been serviced take it to your dealer. The 8955 can work properly for many years but there are some things that will need cleaned and service to work properly.
Riccar sunburst vacuum wheel
There are little prongs that hold the wheel on. New wheels are inexpensive if it needs to be replaced. Break the prongs off with a skinny screwdriver to remove the wheel. The new wheel will just snap in place.
