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 adjustments
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 on either side at the rear of
the cleaner. (Some models have
only one pedal.)
ON-OFF switch
To turn cleaner ON, push switch
down. To turn cleaner OFF, push
switch up.
Some cleaners are equipped with
a two-speed switch. When the
switch is pushed up as far as pos-
sible, it is in the OFF position.
LOW SPEED is to be used for less
vigorous cleaning and reduced
suction on delicate carpet, rugs,
and non-carpeted floors. Slide
the switch down one notch from
OFF to LOW speed.
HIGH SPEED is to be used for
cleaning most carpet and for use
with attachments. When the
switch is pushed down as far as
possible it is in HIGH speed.
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.

Power Drive feature
Note: The Power Drive feature will operate only when the motor is
turned on.
The Power Drive feature moves the cleaner forward and backward at a
variable rate of speed controlled entirely by you.
To move forward
Push the handle grip forward and guide the cleaner in front of you. Notice
that the cleaner moves in a forward direction with little effort.
To move backward
Gently pull the handle grip and guide the cleaner toward you. For best
results guide the cleaner gently at first until you have adjusted to the ease
of operating the cleaner.
For increased control of the
Power Drive feature in tight
places such as around and under
furniture, set the cleaner switch
on the LOW speed setting, or
depress the manual operation
button to disengage-the power
drive mechinism.
Manual operation button
For cleaning and maneuvering without the Power Drive feature, use the
Manual Operation Button, located on top of the handle grip. Press the
button and slide the handle grip up or down the handle until the button
drops flush with the handle grip. Keep button depressed to keep the
power drive mechinism disengaged.
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 clean-
ing.
Standard edge cleaning is provid-
ed on the left side of the cleaner
to remove surface dust and litter.

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
noti-carpeted
floors, set adjustment lever to
LOW/MEDIUM and use LOW
SPEED, if available on your
cleaner. Because of the vigorous
action of the agitator, do not
allow cleaner to run in a sta-
tionary position on any floor
covering, as marring may occur.
Disconnect cleaner from electri-
cal outlet before making nozzle
adjustment.
To change 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
(available
some
models)
Lift the 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.
i

NOZZLE
The amount of fragrance released
is regulated by sliding the control
to one of the 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.
Note: The small drawer in the top
of the bag should not be remov-
ed. If it should become detached,
replace it by unhooking the bag
spring and tipping the bottom of
the drawer to insert projections
into back of cap opening. Push
drawer down into position and
hook bag spring.

nector.

holes on the hose connector. This
unit should remain assembled for
all future tool use.
