The secondary filter protects the motor from dirt particles. If the filter becomes dirty, either clean or replace it.

To remove secondary filter, open cover of cleaner and lift filter off of motor housing. Clean filter by rinsing it in water. When dry, position filter around motor housing with notched edge at the bottom and to the back of the motor housing.

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. 38528-008 when a belt replacement is necessary.

How to replace the belt

Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet before 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. Lift plate off to release from nozzle housing.
