Preparing the Carpet

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE CARPET CLEANER AS A DRY VACUUM.

1. Vacuum carpet thoroughly. Use a Hoover ® vacuum cleaner with a revolving brushroll for best results.

2. Remove as much furniture from the room as possible. If unable to remove the furniture, place plastic or foil

under and around the legs until the carpet has dried completely.

Cheek for Color Fastness:

Before cleanhrg carpet/upholstery, test for color fastness. Dampen a white cloth with solution. Test a small area hr

a closet or under a cushion. Gently rub tire cloth over the area. Check each color for color bleeding. If tire cloth

remains clean, it should be safe to clean the carpet/upholstery.

Helpful Hints for Cleaning Carpet:

1. Do not oversaturate carpet with cleaning solution while using tire carpet cleaner.

2. For heavily soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.

3. Allow plenty of time to dry carpet thoroughly.

4. Wipe cleaning solution from woodwork and wood to prevent any damage.

5. Try not to walk on carpet until it is completely dry.

6. After carpet is thoroughly dry, vacuum the carpet using a cleaner with a revolving brushroll.

7. Before cleaning, determine where you will start and end, making sure not to walk over previously cleaned areas.

After Cleaning:

• Allow carpet to dry completely. Try not to walk on the carpet until it is dry.

• lfyou need to walk on the carpet, place white towels on the areas you want to walk.

• If the carpet is not dry and the furniture must be placed back in the room, use plastic or foil under

the furniture to prevent staining the carpet.

• Thoroughly clean the dirty water tank with hot tap water. See page 8.

Emptying and Cleaning the Dirty Water Tank

Your carpet cleaner is equipped with a shut off valve within your dirty water

tank. When the dirty water tank becomes full, the blue float (viewed from top of

tank) will rise, shutting off the air flow thru the nozzle.

NOTE:The float in your carpet cleaner, located in the dirty water tank lid,

will shut off the suction when the dirty water tank is full. For best results, use

smooth, steady motion keeping the nozzle flat against the carpeting. Tipping the

cleaner and breaking the seal of the nozzle and carpeting will cause the float to

rise and shut off the suction. 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 detergent.

Other Solutions may generate excessive foam which will cause the float to rise

prematurely and shut off the suction. Use five capfuls (5 ounces) of Hoover ®

brand detergent per fill up of the clean water reservoir. A higher concentration of

shampoo may cause excessive foaming.

NOTE:You will hear a noticeable change in the pitch of the deaner. This indicates

a need to empty the dirty water tank.

WARNING: TO REDUCETHE RISK OF1NJURY FROM MOV1NGPARTS - UN-

result in poor dirty water pickup. The Dirty Water

Tank will need to be emptied once or twice per fill

up of the Clean Water Tank.
