Belt replacement
The belt on your Hoover cleaner causes

the effective operation of the cleaner.
The belt is located under the bottom
plate of the cleaner and should be
checked from time to time to be sure it is
in good condition.

When to replace

Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
To check belt, remove bottom plate as
shown in “How to replace”. Replace belt
if it is stretched, cut or broken.
What to buy
To assure effective operation, use only
genuine HOOVER belts with your
cleaner. When purchasing a new belt,
ask for HOOVER part No. 38528033
(belt package part number 40201160).
Secure agitator
Grasp agitator firmly and fit it into posi-
tion by first sliding end opposite the belt
into the rectangular slot (O) on side of
cleaner.
Pull other side of agitator (P) into place.
Turn agitator making sure belt is not
pinched between agitator and agitator
