The Savvy uses a Maytag #91001028 Timing Belt.

UNPLUG THE VACUUM CLEANER FROM THE WALL OUTLET

A. Peel off the red Hoover circular decal from the top of the big plastic motor cover. Remove the screw underneath.
B. Turn over and remove the 2 screws (one on either side and just forward of the wheels).
C. Remove 7 screws from the beater bar cover. Clean beater bar.
D. Slide belt onto the beater bar and reinstall beater bar on its mounts.
E. Pass the belt over top of the idler pulley. It does not go around the pulley, just 1 side contacts the pulley.
F. Loosen the 2 motor mount screws. Slide the belt onto
motor pulley. Retighten the 2 motor screws.
G. Reinstall the beater bar cover with the 7 screws.
H. Reinstall the 3 screws that hold the big plastic cover on.
I. Apply power and test.

Remember....the beater bar will only run with the handle out of the fully upright position. The position you would norrmally use to run the vacuum.
