How to use To transport To move your cleaner from room to room, put the handle in the upright position, tilt the cleaner back on the large rear wheels and push forward. Handle adjustment The handle of your cleaner has three positions: Upright for storage and when using attachments. Operating for general operation on carpet and foors. Low for reaching under low furniture. The handle can be lowered by stepping on the pedal at the rear of the cleaner. 6 ON-OFF switch "Power Surge" Operate your cleaner at normal speed by pushing the switch down one position. To turn cleaner off, push switch up. Normal Speed is to be used for regular cleaning of carpet and rugs and when using cleaning tools. Your cleaner is also equipped with a Power Surge switch. When the switch is pushed down as far as possible it is in the Power Surge speed. "Power Surge" Speed is to be used for extra cleaning power on a heavily soiled area of carpet. Slide the switch down as far as possible and hold it in that position to engage the "POWER SURGE" speed. When the switch is released, it will return to the NORMAL speed position. Note: When cleaning any floor covering, turn cleaner "OFF" when unattended, particularly on non-carpeted floors. The agitator cleans so thoroughly that operation while the cleaner is stationary may mar the floor covering. Special features Edge cleaning Brushed edge cleaning is provided on the right side of the cleaner to remove imbedded dirt in carpet near baseboards and furniture. Guide the right side of the cleaner parallel to the edge of carpet or furniture for brushed edge cleaning. Standard edge cleaning is provided on the left side of the cleaner. Standard edge cleaning removes surface dust and litter. OFF NORMAL-a 'POWER SURGE" i i Adjustment for carpet pile height The cleaning of carpet and rugs takes place at the nozzle. This is the opening at the bottom of the cleaner where the agitator is located. NOZZLE ,.u It is necessary for the nozzle to be adjusted properly to the various carpet pile heights. The adjustment lever on the front of the cleaner may be set on three different self-adjusting ranges. On very dense pile plush or shag carpet, some difficulty in pushing the cleaner may occur. In this case, position the adjustment lever on PLUSH or SHAG. When cleaning non-carpeted floors, set adjustment lever to LOW/MEDIUM and use Normal Speed. Because of the vigorous action of the agitator, do not allow cleaner to run in a stationary position on any floor covering, as marring may occur. Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet before making nozzle adjustment. To change the nozzle adjustment grasp the handle and tilt the cleaner forward. Move the lever with your hand until it "clicks" into the desired position. Air freshener dispenser Lift drawer in the bag cap of your cleaner and insert the air freshener tablet that has been packed with your cleaner. Push drawer down into position. The amount of fragrance released is regulated by sliding the control to one of three settings shown on top of the bag cap. Air freshener tablets may be obtained from your local authorized Hoover dealer, a Hoover Factory Service Center, or by using the mail order form packed with your cleaner.
