3. Principii de funcționare
The Hoover Belt 440001618 serves as the drive mechanism for the vacuum cleaner's brush roll. Once installed, the belt transfers rotational power from the vacuum's motor to the brush roll. This rotation allows the brush roll to agitate carpet fibers, dislodging dirt and debris, which can then be suctioned into the vacuum's collection system. A properly functioning belt ensures efficient cleaning performance.
4. Întreținere
Regular inspection of the vacuum belt is crucial for maintaining your vacuum cleaner's performance and extending its lifespan. A worn or damaged belt can lead to reduced cleaning effectiveness or complete brush roll failure.
- Inspecție vizuală: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months, or more frequently with heavy use), unplug the vacuum and inspect the belt for signs of wear, cracking, stretching, or fraying.
- Brush Roll Check: While inspecting the belt, also check the brush roll for tangled hair, threads, or other debris that could impede its rotation or put undue stress on the belt. Clean the brush roll as needed.
- Înlocuire: Replace the belt immediately if any signs of damage or excessive wear are observed. A stretched belt may not effectively drive the brush roll, while a cracked or frayed belt is prone to breaking.
