Hoover S3083-030 - Manual (Page 15)

NOZZLE HOSE
The Nozzle Hose carries the dirt from the nozzle to
the extension wand and to the throw away bag. If
the hose becomes obstructed, cleaning effectiveness
will sharply decrease. Remove bottom plate as de-
scribed in preceding section, and slide end of hose
out of the holder. Clear hose and reinsert into
holder. Replace bottom plate as described in pre-
ceding section.
AGITATOR BRUSHES
When brushes become worn and bristles do not ex-
tend past the bottom plate of the nozzle, they
should be replaced. Hold a straight edge across the
bottom plate to check for length of bristles. Always
replace both brushes at the same time to maintain
cleaning effectiveness.
HOW TO REPLACE THE
AGITATOR BRUSHES
Disconnect the cleaner from electrical
outlet and disconnect power nozzle
from extension wand.
To replace worn brushes, remove bot-
tom plate, belt and agitator, following
directions given on page 11.

counterclockwise until one end
plate comes off.
Then pry out end section as shown.
(Fig. 2).
Pry out opposite end section, remov-
ing the end plate and shaft from the
agitator as illustrated. (Fig. 3).
