There are two belts on your cleaner. The belts drive the agitator and the power drive pulley and are important for the efficient operation of your cleaner. Because of this, when buying new belts, you should always insist on genuine HOOVER belts. Some other belts on the market, not manufac- tured under the Hoover design and quality controls, may not operate the agitator or ‘Power Drive’ correctly and may damage your cleaner,
When to replace belts Check from time to time to be sure the belts are in good condition. If they are stretched or cut, they should be replaced.
TO REPLACE BELTS
Remove cord from electrical outlet.
Turn cleaner over - remove metal plate on bottom of cleaner by push- ing latches toward the outside of cleaner. (Fig. 1). Lift plate to release it from clips.
There are two belts as shown in Fig.
2.The larger belt is connected to the agitator. To remove the large belt, push latches that hold agitator in and toward center of cleaner until they are free. (Fig. 2). Lift out agitator and remove old belt. (Fig. 3).
The smaller belt is attached to the power drive pulley. (Fig. 2). To re- place the smaller belt, it is necessary to first remove the larger belt. Note: It may not be necessary to change both belts at one time.
Place new smaller belt over power drive pulley and motor pulley with smooth side of belt next to pulleys. (Fig. 2). Next, place new larger belt over motor pulley, then over agitator. (Fig. 3).
