The drive belt transfers power from the vacuum’s motor to the rotating brush in the nozzle that loosens dirt from your carpet. The drive belt is constantly exposed to friction, dirt and grit which can wear out the belt and cause it to break. Replacing a broken Hoover Elite belt does not require any special tools or skills. Unplug the vacuum from the electric outlet. Pull the floor-height adjustment knob off the adjuster shaft that is in the middle of the top cover. Put the handle in its unlocked down position and turn the machine over to expose the bottom plate. Release the two latches that secure the bottom plate by prying the catches back with the flat-bladed screwdriver. Pry around the edges of the top cover with the fheadlat-bladed screwdriver to release it from its catches.

Remove the bottom plate to expose the rotating brush. Turn the vacuum over and remove the top cover to expose the motor shaft. Remove any remnants of the failed belt. Turn the vacuum over to expose the bottom again. Lift the rotating brush out of the floor nozzle. Pick out any hair, threads and other debris embedded in the brush bristles. Check that the brush spins freely between the end retaining plates. Slide the new belt over the roller to a smooth pulley-like spot. Install the belt with the lettering facing out. Reinstall the brush roller in the floor nozzle so the belt is on the same side as the motor shaft. Reinstall the bottom plate. Turn the vacuum over so it rests on the bottom plate. Stick a finger through the loop of the belt and pull the belt toward the motor shaft. Slide the belt over the motor shaft. Pull on the belt to check that the rotating brush and motor shaft turn freely. Reinstall the top cover and the height adjustment knob. Spin the roller by hand to make sure it turns.

Plug in the vacuum and switch it on to check that the brush is operating. vacuum cleaner dust bags india: (: Hoover Commercial Upright Vacuum Cleaner ManualHoover: Support FAQs Suggest a Correctionupright vacuum cleaner covers pattern Model #U6485-900 HOOVER Vacuum, Uprightsmall cyclone vacuum cleaner Hoover vacuum belt slips - even with new belt U6485-900 Hoover Vacuum Thanks for your question- we see that no one from the community responded.  If you still require assistance on this topic, please resubmit your question with any updated information and we will have one of our experts take a look.   I have a hoover U6485-900 windtunnel that will not vaccuum I understand your concern toward your vacuum cleaner not working properly and I know how important it is to keep the carpet in the home nice and clean.

Appears to be defective to me. How can I increase the tension? Thank you for your question. If you unit is less than 1 yr. old I would take it in for service.

But I would suggest that you take it in for service. Thank you for using Manage My Life. Sam A - thanks for your quick reply. I will do as you suggest and take it in for service.
