You havE a Windtunnel air vacuum cleaner. If the brush roller isn't spinning and the switch is on, you need to pull down the handle to make the roller turn on.
The pedal on the left turns the brushroll on and off
There is no pedal switch. There's only one on top. And the unit has a parking feature which should turn off the brush when the unit is vertical.
My unit's brush turns on and then sort of whimpers to a standstill. It has a modern type belt with teeth, so slippage is unlikely, but I have a replacement. But I have a feel if I look inside I will see that the motor cuts out, so the problem is the motor, not the belt nor the brush itself, which I just cleaned. Sometimes the brush spins when the unit is vertical, so it makes me think that that the mechanism inside - sort of another switch - has failed.

My daughters is doing the same thing and the plastic at the ends of the brush bar melted just enough for it not to turn properly. You might want to chech that.

I have the SteamVac Dual and there's a screen on the underside of the unit. It's beneath the brushes and it's red. You have to pull and wiggle it to get it out. With the machine unplugged, lay the unit with the handle on the floor. In the owner's manual ( http://www.hoover.com/pdfs/manuals/F7222900.pdf ) this is shown on page 10 figure 3-2. Clean that screen.
If they still won't spin, then take the brushes out. Again, with the unit on the floor, you simply grab the unit firmly and pull towards you. It's much easier to remove than the screen. I took the brush unit outside and blasted it with the house. You'll have to pull out whatever fur balls are clogging it but eventually you'll see that the brushes spin freely with the water squirting on them. Plug the brush unit back in and - in my case - they started spinning.

It sounds like you need to replace the actuator arm or the cable to it. Look for Hoover part 43143046 for a start. I've got a similar problem.
SOURCE: The V belt is too loose. The brush switch
Did you purchase the exact replacement belt for the vacuum, or did you buy one to match the one you have?
It sounds like you have the wrong belt, but, it could be the roller brush is not properly installed or the roller has worn down significantly.

On my Dyson, there is a brush reset button on the top right hand side (if you are looking at the front) that you can press to reset the brush. I was vacuuming and too lazy to move a toy and this worked for me once I freed the rope from the brush.
