Some models
have a nozzle clean-out
tool for removing debris or if a non-car-
peted floor is not available. To use the
tool: Disconnect carpet cleaner from
electrical
outlet. Slide tool into nozzle
and remove debris as shown.
To clean the outside of the machine,
wipe off dirt with a cloth dampened
in
warm water and mild detergent. Do not
use solvent or petroleum based prod=
ucts to clean the machine.
Read "Before
you begin cleaning"
instructions on page 9.
1. Fill clean solution tank (upper tank)
with HOOVER Carpet/Upholstery
Detergent according
to instructions
for
Figs. 2-10 to 2-16
2. Move speed selector to LO for gen-
tle cleaning or Hi for normal cleaning.
3. Dry hands and plug cord into a prop=
erly grounded outlet.
Do not clean over floor electrical
out=
lets.
4. To avoid walking on damp carpet,
start at the end of the room farthest from
the door or path to sink where tanks will
be emptied and filled.
Step on handle release pedal and lower
handle to operating
position; turn carpet
cleaner ON.
5. Squeeze trigger to release cleaning
solution and slowly push carpet cleaner
forward (equals one wet stroke).
6. Continue to squeeze trigger and
slowly pull carpet cleaner back toward
you (second wet stroke). Release trigger
and slowly push carpet cleaner forward
over area just sprayed with solution (dry
stroke). Then slowly pull carpet cleaner
back toward you without squeezing
trig-
ger (dry stroke).
7. Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help pre-
vent streaking.
Keep nozzle flat on floor for both for-
ward and reverse strokes.
For heavily soiled areas, repeat steps 5-
7.
8. To avoid saturating carpet, do not
use more than 4 wet strokes over one
area. Always end with dry strokes.
It is best to alternate wet and dry
strokes as described
above.
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 recovery tank lid.)
Empty recovery tank when the motor
sound becomes
higher pitched and
there is a loss in suction (see
"Automatic
shut-off", Fig 2-6)
When finished cleaning, follow "After
cleaning" instructions
on pages 9-10.
Your HOOVER SteamVac
TM
carpet
cleaner may also be used to pick up
small liquid spills (1 gallon or less,
never to exceed 114 inch in depth) on
carpet, upholstery, or bare floors.
For best results, pick up spills immedi-
ately by placing the stair/upholstery
noz-
zle just above the spill and suction up
any residue on top of the carpet. If the
spill remains, place either the stair/
upholstery nozzle or floor nozzle with
brushes turned OFF in front of the spill,
pull the nozzle very slowly over the spill
initially with suction only. Repeat with spray
and suction.
When picking up spills on bare floors,
use only the floor nozzle with the bare
floor attachment in place and speed
selector in the OFF position (this will help
prevent spreading the spill).
If a spot is left, the stair/upholstery nozzle is
generally more effective for removing it.
Although no cleaning solution can com-
pletely remove all spots, they can be treat-
ed by following the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the carpet, uphol-
stery, or bare floor surface being cleaned.
Do not use the SteamVac
TM
carpet
cleaner to pick up flammable or corn=
bustible liquids or chemicals.
When finished, follow "After cleaning"
instructions on pages 9-10.
