For best cleaning results and to aid in faster
drying of carpet, end with more dry strokes.
(Continue using dry strokes until little water is
visible passing through the Dirty Water Tank lid.)
NOTE: Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor
sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss
in suction (see "Automatic shut-off")
For best cleaning results, Hoover recommends to
rinse the carpet with water only. This will remove
residual carpet cleaning solution from your
carpets. To rinse with water only, fill Solution Tank
with water and repeat step 7.
For heavily soiled areas, repeat cleaning process.
Avoid saturating carpet.
NOTE: It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes
as described above.
3.11 Wrap cord around hooks for convenient
storage. Attach the plug end to the cord.
DIRTY WATER TANK
Your carpet washer is equipped with a shut off float
within your dirty water tank. When the dirty water
tank becomes full, the float will rise, shutting off the
air flow thru the nozzle.
Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water
tank. If the dirty water tank does not appear full, turn
the power switch off and wait for the float to settle
and reset. If the float repeatedly shuts off the
suction, empty the dirty water tank. For best results,
use only Hoover
brand cleaning solution. Other
®
Solutions may generate excessive foam which will
cause the float to rise prematurely and shut off the
suction. A higher concentration of shampoo may
cause excessive foaming.
How to Empty
3.10 Grasp dirty water tank handle and push latch
to release. Pull tank out at a slight angle.
3.11 To empty dirty water tank, pull up on the 2
latches (A) to open and remove top of tank to
empty.
3.12 Replace tank lid with both latches locked
after cleaning. Latches will snap when they are
locked. Failure to do so will result in poor suction
performance.
3.13 Insert dirty water tank back into the cleaner
until it snaps into place.
NOTE: Do not open latches before removing tank
from machine.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to remove any debris that has
accumulated in the screen above the float. If the
screen becomes clogged, this may reduce the
performance of your cleaner.
IMPORTANT
To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more
than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end
with dry strokes.
IMPORTANT
If the sound of the motor changes to a high
pitch, this indicates the dirty water tank is full
and must be emptied.
CAUTION
