A belt is a small rubber loop doing a big job — transmitting the machine's power from where it's made to where it does work. When one goes, whatever it was driving stops. Sometimes you get a warning (squealing, weak output), sometimes you don't (mid-shift snap). Either way, the machine's out of service until it's replaced.
This is the genuine Nilfisk Advance OEM BELT D220 3VT WITH FLARES, part number 58-18466, brand new in the box. Belts stretch over their working life, so tension goes down and slip goes up. Once it's slipping, it's glazing, and once it's glazed, it's not gripping right ever again.
Keep a spare on the shelf and swap on your service schedule, not on failure. The math works out every time.
