How to use

To transport

To move your cleaner from room

to room, put the handle in the up-

right 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 stor-

age 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.

ON-OFF "Power Surge"

switch

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 en-

gage the "POWER SURGE"

speed. When the switch is re-

leased, it will return to the NOR-

MAL speed position.

Note: When cleaning any floor

covering, turn cleaner "OFF"

when unattended, particularly on

non-carpeted floors. The agitator

cleans so thoroughly that opera-

tion while the cleaner is stationary

may mar the floor covering.

NOZZLE

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 lo-

cated.

It is necessary for the nozzle to be

adjusted properly to the various

carpet pile heights. The adjust-

ment lever on the front of the

cleaner may be set on three differ-

ent 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 le-

ver on PLUSH or SHAG. When

cleaning non-carpeted floors, set

adjustment lever to LOW/MEDI-

UM and use Normal Speed. Be-

cause 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 electri-

cal 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" in-

to 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 ob-

tained from your local authorized

Hoover dealer, a Hoover Factory

Service Center, or by using the

mail order form packed with your

cleaner.
