The Hoover Power Drive Swivel XL Pet vacuum is a popular choice for pet owners thanks to its powerful suction and ability to pick up pet hair. However, over time, the belt may become worn out or break, causing a decrease in suction and overall cleaning ability.

What You'll Need
Before you begin, gather the necessary tools:
- Hoover Power Drive Swivel XL Pet Replacement Belt (part number AH20065)
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Flat head screwdriver
- Scissors
Removing the Old Belt
The first step is to unplug the vacuum from the outlet. Flip the vacuum over so that you can access the bottom of the machine. Locate the two screws at the front of the brush roll cover and use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove them. Then, use the flat head screwdriver to gently pry up the brush roll cover and remove it.
Next, locate the old belt and remove it by sliding it off the motor pulley and then the brush roll. If the belt is broken, you may need to cut it off with scissors. Discard the old belt and make sure to clean any debris or pet hair from the brush roll before proceeding.
Installing the New Belt
With the old belt removed, it's time to install the new one. Take the replacement belt and slide it over the motor pulley first, then over the brush roll. Make sure the belt is centered on the brush roll and the motor pulley. Use your fingers to rotate the brush roll a few times to ensure the belt is properly in place.
Reassembling the Vacuum
Once the new belt is installed, it's time to reassemble the vacuum. Replace the brush roll cover and secure it with the two screws you removed earlier. Flip the vacuum back over and plug it into the outlet. Test the vacuum by turning it on and running it over a small area of flooring.
If everything is working properly, you're done! You've successfully replaced the Hoover Power Drive Swivel XL Pet Belt and restored your vacuum's cleaning power. With a new belt in place, you should notice a significant improvement in suction and overall cleaning ability.
