The V-belt is designed to last for a long time and is not normally replaced. However, if V-belt is cracked, gouged or broken, now is a good time to replace it as follows.

To remove V-belt, slide back of belt over pulley (C). Then firmly pull on belt and “snap” it out.

Discard used belt. Replace with HOOVER part No. 38528034.

To install new belt (with lettering on out- side of belt), slide back of belt over pulley and pull front of belt toward groove (E) next to pulley.
