Hoover S1349 - Manual (Page 17)

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.
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 No. 38528-011 when a
belt replacement is necessary.
When to replace
The belt is visible through the belt check window on top of the nozzle. If the
belt is broken, the motor pulley will be visible through the window. How-
ever, 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.
How to replace
Disconnect cleaner from electri-
cal outlet and disconnect power
nozzle from extension wands.
1. Turn nozzle over and unscrew
the 4 recessed Phillips head
screws.
Note: Do not remove the 3
screws in the triangle formation
as these hold the motor in place.
2. Return nozzle to original position,
lift off nozzle cover.
3. If belt is not broken, pull it off the
motor pulley.
