How to Replace the Belt on a Euro Pro 605D Sewing Machine

The belt is needed for a sewing machine to work.

The belt of a modern sewing machine is found inside the body case. This belt, like any machinery belt, will wear and break with use and time. The Euro Pro 605D sewing machine has a belt inside that connects the wheel to the needle shaft. If the belt breaks, the machine cannot run because the needle will not be able to move up and down through the cloth. Maintenance of the belt is an essential process in keeping a sewing machine running.

Things You'll Need

• Replacement belt
• Phillips screwdriver

Instructions

1. Unplug the sewing machine from the power outlet.

2. Remove the casing from the back side of the machine by unscrewing the screws on the sides of the casing with the screwdriver.

3. Remove the broken belt from inside the machine. Make sure to not move or damage any other part inside the machine.

4. Place the new belt over the hand wheel curve. Holding the belt in position on the hand wheel with your right hand, pull the belt down to the smaller gears with your left.

5. Carefully place the belt over the smaller gears on the curve.

6. Turn the hand wheel a few times to make sure the belt is on properly. If it is properly placed, the needle shaft will move up and down. If the needle does not move, remove the belt and try again.

7. Replace the body casing by screwing the screws back into place with the screwdriver.

Tips & Warnings

• The belt number for a new belt is found in the service manual and on the broken belt.

• A universal belt can be used, however, it is best to use the specific size and type for your machine.

• Do not work on the machine if you do not feel confident in your ability to do so. Sewing machines have delicate parts that are essential to the entire process of sewing; breaking or bending one part can cause the entire machine to not work.
