Belt replacement
The belt on your Hoover cleaner causes
the brush roll to rotate and is important
for the effective operation of your
cleaner. The brush roll belt is designed
to last a long time and does not normally
need replacement. The belt is located
under the hood of the cleaner and
should be checked from time to time to
be sure it is in good condition.
Inspecting the belt
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
The belt can be seen by removing the
bottom plate (A). To remove, step on
handle release pedal and place cleaner
in the lowest position. Turn cleaner over.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the
seven screws and lift off the bottom
plate.
If the belt is cracked, gouged or broken,
it should be replaced.
A new belt can be installed at your near-
est Hoover Sales and Service Center.
