I was hoovering up pine needles and it has started to shoot the needles back out from the middle of the brush. I have emptied the oover and removed hair etc from around the roller but it is still happening. Any suggestions? Thanks

This is an indication that there's a blockage in the airflow system. Check the hose, power head tube, and behind tank filter for clogs. For the hose and PN, you can detach the hose and drop a coin in one end. If it doesn't roll out, there's a blockage and it needs cleared. Try using a broom stick to push the clog out from the tank end. Or place PN end of hose to the tank in port and turn on vacuum. This should clear the hose.
For the PN, drop a coin into the hose connection. If it doesn't drop through, there's a clog in the PN tube, probably at either the elbow or behind the brush. You may be able to clear it using longnose pliers to pull needles out from the hose end, or try pushing out with a long, dull object. A wooden spoon or spatula handle will work fine.

How do you remove the brushes on a Hoover 40060

If you are sure the brushes are replaceable be advised that they
are probably well set in the grooves. I normally use a large flat
head screw driver and push them out of the grooves....if that does
not work try a needle nose and pull it out. Push the new ones into
the grooves.

Regards,
Dennis

How to open to clean

Hello! The dirt cup, filter and brushes need to be cleaned to ensure continued cleaning effectiveness. Below are steps for cleaning your Hoover Slider.

Turn switch to OFF position.

1. Press button and slide latch towards outside of cleaner. Rotate dirt cup toward back of cleaner.

2. While holding dirt cup, grasp filter frame and lift out filter. Empty dirt cup after every use. Dirt cup can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow to dry thoroughly.

3. Pull middle section of filter out of filter frame. To remove debris from filter, tap it on a hard surface or brush it with a soft brush.

4. Remove lint, strings, etc. from the brush roll located on the underneath side of the nozzle.

5. Replace the brush roll when the brushes do not touch the edge of a card as it is moved across the opening on the bottom of the nozzle.
Further disassembly of the cleaner is not recommended. Hope this helps!

The Hoover switches on and the brush rotates but the actual Hoover doesn't come on?

Hi, is there suction when you open the top of the wand handle?

If no, have you emptied the container. next check the tubes that are removable, you may find there is a blockage of hair and bits, have you removed filter and given it a goos wash.

Hoover does not 'hoover' properly

If it has a power nozzle you should replace the belt.

No suction

The hose is clogged up. Try disconnecting the hose and loosen the clog. If you try to pick up pine needles, they are sticky and will clog up any vacuum sweeper.

Water solution does not come out--is something plugged

It could also be due to the brush assembly channels being clogged. Remove the brush assembly and clean channels by running under warm tap water.
To clean the brush assembly/nozzle, turn cleaner off and disconnect from electrical outlet. Slide the two nozzle release latches outward. Remove the nozzle by pulling straight out. Rinse nozzle under running water. Remove debris from squeegee and wipe with a damp cloth. Using finger grips on the brush assembly, pull straight out. The brush assembly can be washed with a mild detergent and rinsed. Do not use pine or solvent-based detergents.
To replace nozzle, make sure latches are out. Align middle section of nozzle with opening on cleaner. While holding nozzle in place, slide latches inward to lock in place.

Make sure your solution tank is full and securely locked in position.

Lastly, if this fails, you can contact the Hoover Service Center by calling 1-800-944-9200 for an automated referral of authorized service outlet locations (U.S. only).

I have a Hoover Wind Tunnel that has been used twice both times at Christmas to pick up pine needles. It really has never been used because my cleaning ladies come every week and use their own machine. ...

You may have the ductwork of the cleaner plugged up with the pine needles. First, unplug the hose from the cleaner and find if you have suction into the bag. If so, check the hose and ducts for blockage from the pine needles.

Middle brush problem

If this is new, get it replaced under warranty. Take your model number, serial number, proof of purchase and the brush block with you, or you may be able to do it at hoover.com.
