The belt in your power nozzle drives the agitator. It has been designed
specifically for use in this cleaner and is important for effective opera-
tion. 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 create stress which could
damage your power nozzle. Use only a genuine HOOVER Belt No.
