When to replace the belt on power nozzle
The belt, located under the bottom plate of the power nozzle, should
be checked from time to time to be sure it is in good condition. To
check remove the bottom plate (see following section). If the belt is
stretched or cut; or if the agitator fails to rotate, replace the belt.
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. 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. when a belt replacement is necessary.

replacing belt and disconnect
power nozzle from extension
wand.
Turn power nozzle over. Remove
metal bottom plate by
unscrewing the 2 Phillips head
screws at the back of the nozzle.
