Re-attaching bag lid

q: The bag lid and hinges are designed with a “break-away” fea-

ture. If the lid is pushed open too far, it will come off. It can be easily re- attached by aligning the hinges with the appropriate slots in the cleaner, as shown.

Secondary filter

How to clean

Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.

q. The secondary filter, located behind the grill in the bag com-

partment, protects the motor from dirt particles. If filter becomes dirty, pull off grill and lift out filter. Wash filter in warm water or replace it with a new one. A dry filter must be put back into cleaner.

Do not operate cleaner without sec- ondary filter in place.

Clearing blockages

Low suction or pick up may be due to blockages in the system. Refer to the following steps to check for blockages, continuing with each step until the block- age is found:

1.Turn cleaner off and disconnect from electrical outlet; then disconnect power nozzle plug and wands from hand grip.

q2. Plug cleaner in, turn on, and ’ check hose end for suction.

Remove any blockages.

3.Remove power nozzle from wands and attach wands to hose. Check for suction and remove any blockages.

q4. Before attaching power nozzle to wands, check nozzle connector

(A).

While holding nozzle, push nozzle con- nector down to lowest position.

Look into nozzle connector and remove any blockages.

The belt

The belt in your power nozzle drives the agitator. It has been designed specifi- cally for use in this cleaner and is impor- tant 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 noz- zle. Such belts do not operate the agi- tator correctly and may create stress which could damage your power noz- zle. Use only a genuine HOOVER belt No. 38528-011 when a belt replacement is necessary.

When to replace

The belt, located under the nozzle cover, should be checked from time to time to be sure it is in good condition. Remove nozzle cover as shown below. Replace belt if it is stretched, cut, or broken.

How to replace

Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet and disconnect power nozzle from cleaner.

qTurn 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.
