How to replace
Turn cleaner off and disconnect from
electrical outlet. Disconnect power
nozzle from extension wands.
To remove hood, turn nozzle over and
unscrew the 2 recessed screws.
Return nozzle to original position and lift
off hood.
Belt replacement
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.
What to buy
There are other belts manufactured that
are similar in shape and size, but are not
designed for the HOOVER Duros™ 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
pack-
age
no. 40201270
(part no. 59134226)
when a belt replacement is necessary.
When to replace
The belt should be checked from time
to time to be sure it is in good condition.
To check, remove the nozzle cover (see
following section). Replace the belt if it is
stretched, cut, or broken.
Turn cleaner off and disconnect from
electrical outlet.
The
final filter
, located on the back of

ter. Return filter to the inside of the filter
door. Replace filter door by aligning tab
