is

at any

time necessary

to

remove

the

complete

bag assembly from

the

machine,

undo the

screw on

the

bag ring.

pull

the

top of the ring

HOW

TO

MAINTAIil

EFFICIENCY

If

your

cleaner is not operating

efficiently it

nay be

due to one of the following

reasons:-

(a)

The

Disposall

bag needs

emptying.

(b)

A new

belt is

required.

(c)

The agitator

brushes need replacing.

REPLACING THE

AGITATOR

BELT. From

time

to time

the

belt will

either stretch

or

show

a

tendency

to crack, in

which

case it

should

be

replaced. To do

this,

remove

the front

cover

plate

and

slip

the belt off the fan

pulley,

turn the

cleaner

over, lever

up the belt

guard

and

pull

the

agitator

out

of t}:.e

nozzle. Replace

the

old

belt

with

a new one

and replace

the

agitator in

the

cleaner. Snap the belt

guard

back into

position

and

turn

the cleaner over. Fit the belt over the

fan

pulley

as

shown in

diagram

inside

the

front

opening. Replace the front cover

plate.

New

belts

can

be

obtained

from

your

local Hoover

Service

Station

or dealer.

GHECKING AGITATOR

BRUSHES. Failure to

pick

up threads is an indication that the agitator

brushes need replacement.

You

can check

this as

shown in

Fig.

rr. Ileplaccment brushes can

be

supplied and

fitted

through

your

local

Hoover

Service

Station or dealer.

CLEANING

TOOTS

CLEANING TOOL CONVERTOR.

This

ingeniorts

convert6r

has

been so designed that cleaning tools

can

be

attached to the cleaner

with the minimum of effort,

The

action

of

assembling

the convertor to the

cleuner

automatically

disengages

the belt from the motor

pulley

and so stops the agitator rotating whilst

cleaning tools

are

being

used. The

removal

of the

convertor

aUtomatically

replaces

the belt on the motor

pulley.
