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.

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
