Belt replacement

The belt on your Hoover cleaner causes
the brush roll to rotate and is important
for the effective operation of your
cleaner. The brush roll belt is designed
to last a long time and does not normally
need replacement. The belt is located
under the hood of the cleaner and
should be checked from time to time to
be sure it is in good condition.
