Filters: secondary
and exhaust
How to clean
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
The secondary filter, located behind the
grill in the bag compartment, 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.

Power Nozzle belt
replacement
The belt in your power nozzle drives the agita-
tor. It has been designed specifically for use
in this cleaner and is important 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 nozzle. Such belts do
not operate the agitator correctly and may cre-
ate stress which could damage your power
nozzle. Use only a genuine HOOVER Belt
part no. 40201180 when a belt replacement
is necessary.
When to replace
The belt should be checked from time to time
to be sure it is in good condition. To check,
remove the hood (see following section).
Replace the belt if it is stretched, cut, or broken.

Return nozzle to original position and lift off

How to replace
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet and disconnect power nozzle
from extension wands.
To remove hood, turn 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.
