HOW TO CLEAN SECONDARY FILTER
DISCONNECT CLEANER FROM ELECTRICAL
OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING FILTER
The secondary filter is a foam disc located on top
of the motor and protects the motor from dirt par-
ticles. When the filter becomes dirty, either clean
or replace it. To remove, pull filter from top of
motor. Clean by rinsing it in water. When dry,
slide secondary filter back into place.
WHEN TO REPLACE THE BELT
ON POWER NOZZLE
The belt, located under the bottom plate of the power nozzle, should be
checked from time to time to be sure it is in good condition. To check
remove the bottom plate [see following section). If the belt is stretched
or cut; or if the agitator fails to rotate, replace the belt.
THE BELT
The belt in your power nozzle drives the agitator. It has been designed
specifically for use in this cleaner and is important for effective operation.
There are other belts manufactured that are similar in shape and size but
are not designed for the HOOVER power nozzle. Such belts do not
operate the agitator correctly and may create stress which could damage
your power nozzle. Use
only
a genuine
HOOVER
Belt No. 38528-009
when a belt replacement is necessary.
HOW TO REPLACE THE BELT
Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet be-
fore replacing belt and disconnect power
nozzle from extension wand.
Turn power nozzle over. Remove metal bot-
tom plate by unscrewing the 2 Phillips head
screws at the back of the nozzle. Fig. 1. Lift
plate off to release from nozzle housing.
2
Remove the agitator to release the worn or
broken belt by first removing the agitator
dirt seal, lifting it up and sliding it out. Fig. 2.
