Self Propelled Cable for Wind Tunnel?

How can I replace the Self Propelled cable for a Hoover Premium Wind Tunnel? Model #U6446-900
Jeff, November 2006
Take out the screws on the back of the handle. The handle will slide back and off of the machine. Then, using a Torx T25 screw driver, loosen the bracket holding the cable on the plastic arm in the base assembly. Then you should be able to pull out the cable through the top of the machine. Feed the new cable throught the top and guide it through the plastic holder and into the arm for the self propel bracket. Put the handle back on, set the self propel to off and tighten the T25 screw on the bracket. It should be pretty close to neutral when the self propel is on and the handle isn't moved. If you can't get it adjusted right, email us, arctic@worldlynx.net
