If your cleaner is not picking up efficiently, the belt or brushes (or both) may need replacing, but first make sure you have: · Emptied the dust container · Cleaned filters · Checked for blockages B Refit brush assembly · Hold the brush assembly and stretch the belt until brush mountings slot down into the cleaner housing. Rotate the brush to ensure free movement of the belt. CLEARING A BLOCKAGE This cleaner is unlikely to become blocked, except by over filling of the dust container or accidentally picking up large solid objects. If cleaning tools were in use, check cleaning tool and extension tube first. Next check hose handgrip; to remove, grip ribbed ring as shown, turn in direction of arrow and ease apart. To check the hose, stretch it to full length and switch on the cleaner; the suction will dislodge most obstructions. [. . . ] These are available from your local Hoover dealer or direct from Hoover.
