TO
DETACH
BAG FRoM
MACH|NE.
If it
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
backwards, depress
this
slightly to release
from
lip
on the
under-side
of
air outlet,
then lift off.
It is replaced
as explained
in
section
,,To
Attach
Cloth
Bag,,.
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.
