Power nozzle 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
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
part no. 40201-180 when a belt re-
placement is necessary.
When to replace
The belt should be checked from time
to time to be sure it is in good condi-

following section). Replace the belt if it
is stretched, cut, or broken.
Disconnect cleaner from electri-
cal outlet and disconnect power
