Check bag indicator

(some models only)
The indicator (I) will begin to show red as
the filter bag fills with dirt.
There are three conditions that will cause
the indicator to become completely red:
2. If very fine materials have been picked
up, clogging the bag pores; change the
bag.
3. If there is a blockage at the front of the
cleaner, in the hose, tools or at the bag
opening; remove the blockage (see
'Clearing blockages" section).

Filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time.
Change the filter bag when dirt reaches
the dotted line. If more dirt than this
accumulates, your cleaner will not oper-
ate effectively.
Note: All new carpet has loose fibers
which can fill the bag quickly while
vacuuming.
This type of debris does
not activate the "Check Bag" indicator,
available on some models.
So, if you are using the cleaner on
new carpet, be sure to change the fil-
ter bag often,
even
if you have a
"Check Bag" indicator and it does not
show red.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such
as face powder, cornstarch, fireplace
ashes or fireplace soot, may seal the
filter bag and may cause it to burst
even though it is only partially full of
dirt. When cleaner is used to remove
material of this nature, change filter
bag often.

I need belts for a Hoover Windtunnel U5445-900. Can I use parts for a model U5465-900?

The Hoover WindTunnel U5465-900 uses belt part number 38528-033. While the context does not specifically list the U5445-900 model, belt 38528-033 fits all WindTunnel non-self-propelled upright models. If the U5445-900 is a non-self-propelled model, it is likely compatible with belt 38528-033. However, compatibility cannot be confirmed with certainty from the given information.

Yes, the Hoover WindTunnel canister can be taken apart to clear dirt. You need to press the green button with a lock symbol at the top of the dirt cup while holding the handle, then rotate and remove the canister. Hold it over a waste basket to empty the dirt.
