Step 2

Hold the lower brush roll with both hands and pull outwards until it is detached.

Step 3

Unscrew the 6 marked screws using a Phillips #2 head screwdriver.
Remove the brush roller.

Removing long roller brush is not required and can’t be done at this point because of belt.

Step 4

Use a long #2 Philips head screwdriver to remove the 8 numbered screws on the bottom of the cleaner.

The 8 screws are not all shown here. There are arrows with numbers pointing at all of them on the dark plastic. The two shown here in red are labelled on the clear plastic.

Unscrew the Phillips #2 screw at the bottom of the hose.

Step 7

Push down on the handle release button. Pull and disconnect the edge of the top cover on the side of the handle release button.

When pulling the handle release button, make sure the top of the cleaner does not fall.

I followed your instructions and after pressing the release button and the start button erasing the clips broke my Hoover as it's not as easy as you

It is impossible to remove the top cover...!!!!! I'm breaking the vacuum!!! you need to give better instructions!!!

This guy forgot about removing the entire underside first...also snapped off a plastic screw casing. Bollocks is correct. There should be 10 or 11 steps. Take off the bottom casing, about 7 screws I believe.

Step 8

Gently grab the belt and pry it off from the rollers.

Step 9

Unscrew two screws using Phillips #2 screwdriver.
Detach grey piece from vacuum.

Step 10

Unscrew four screws using a Phillips 2 screwdriver.

How to remove electric on/off switch cover is not mentioned. To keep from breaking cover by prying, drill about a 3/8” hole through plastic cover lined up with partially hidden screw and remove screw. To drill a smoother holed use reverse (CCW).
