Exhaust filter
How to clean
Turn cleaner off and disconnect from
electrical outlet.
The exhaust filter , located behind the
grill on the body of the cleaner, is wash-
able. To clean, rotate grill (F) counter-
clockwise. Remove the exhaust filter (G).
Wash filter by running it under cold tap
water. Do not use soap or detergent.
Do
not use the small brush to clean this
filter, as brushing will damage the
effectiveness of the filter.
Allow to dry
thoroughly before replacing on cleaner.
The exhaust filter should be cleaned at
least once a year. The filter may become
discolored with use, but the filtration effi-
ciency will not be affected.
Washing the dirt cup
Turn cleaner off and disconnect from
electrical outlet.
Remove the dirt cup by pressing the but-
ton on the top of the cleaner and pulling
the cup straight out. Remove lid. The
cup may be rinsed by running it under
cold tap water and dried with a soft
cloth. Do not replace dirt cup on cleaner
unless it has been dried thoroughly.
Should the dirt cup platform flaps (C)
become dislodged, refit using the dia-
gram on the platform.
Grasp the filter and rotate counter-clock-
wise. Clean the filter using the small
brush located under the tool lid.
If desired, the filter may be rinsed by
running it under cold tap water.
Do not
use soap or detergent. Shake excess
water from filter and allow to dry thor-
oughly before replacing it in cleaner.
Replace the filter by lining up tabs on fil-
ter with grooves on lid and rotating
clockwise.
If the red light is still on after the filter
has been cleaned, there may be a
blockage in the hose or wands. Refer to
“If you have a problem” section.

Belt replacement
The belt in your power nozzle drives the
agitator. It has been designed specifical-
ly 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 cor-
rectly and may create stress which could
damage your power nozzle. Use only a
genuine HOOVER Belt
part no.
40201180 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 fol-
lowing section). Replace the belt if it is
stretched, cut, or broken.
How to replace
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet and disconnect power nozzle
from extension wands.
To remove hood, 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.
