How to replace belt on hoover SH40060

Either the belt broke or has fallen off the motorized pulley.

Remove the screws from the bottom of the power nozzle so you can remove the cover to gain access to the belt. Remove the brush roll, pull the end caps off the brush roll if possible to clean out hair and debris. Make sure brush roll will spin freely. Install new belt and reassemble.

Hi there! The belt is replaceable but it must be changed at a local service center. Follow the link to locate the nearest service center to you > Service Center Locator. If you wish to replace the entire nozzle you may do so by following the link Search Results. Thanks!

replace it can be gotten at guarantee vacuum and sewing center and will only cost about 25 to 30 dollars

Both ends of the brush roll should spin freely. You need to replace the brush roll.

Your manual is pretty lacking. Most all brushes have holder guides on both ends, normally the entire brush and guides will lift straight out of the head if the belt is broke, there could be a locking clip, make sure the area is clean so you can see it, but the brush head has to come out somehow or a new belt can't go on, some have the top of the head comes off, the cover, this way you place the belt on the brush, set the brush back in the head, then you set the belt onto the motor shaft from the top.

What ever you do, make sure you watch how the brush comes out and the guides, if you need to take a marker and put a mark on the guides so you know what the top was and how they go back in.

Good for you. Make sure clean all parts before put together.
Good Luck
