Check bag indicator

The indicator (K) will begin to show

red as the filter bag fills with dirt.

There are three conditions that will

cause the indicator to become com-

pletely red:

1. If the bag is full; change the bag.

2. If very fine materials have been

picked up, clogging the bag pores;

change the bag.

3. If there is a blockage in the nozzle,

hose, tools or at the bag opening;

remove the blockage (see “Clearing

blockages” section).

Cleaning secondary filter

outlet.

The secondary filter (A), located

behind the grill in the bottom of bag

compartment, protects the motor

from dirt particles.

mild detergent, then air dry.

Familiarize yourself with these home

maintenance tasks as proper use

and care of your cleaner will ensure

continued cleaning effectiveness.

Removing and installing filter

bag

collar from tube (B).

Note: Do not clean out old filter bag

and reuse. Discard used filter bag.

Hold new filter bag as shown. Align

opening in filter bag with (B).

Push (A) firmly onto (B).

Tuck in filter bag.

3. Maintenance

Filter bag

When to replace

Check filter bag from time to time. It

is recommended that you change

the filter bag when dirt reaches the

dotted line. If more dirt than this

accumulates, your cleaner will not

operate effectively.

Note: All new carpet has loose

fibers which can fill the bag quick-

ly while vacuuming. This type of

debris does not activate the “Check

Bag” indicator, available on some

models.

So,if you are using the cleaner on

new carpet, be sure to change the

filter bag often, even if you have a

“Check Bag” indicator and it does

not show red.

CAUTION: Very fine materials,

such as face powder or corn-

starch, may seal the filter bag and

may cause it to burst even though

it is only partially full of dirt.

When cleaner is used to remove

material of this nature, change fil-

ter bag often.

It is imperative that you use only

genuine HOOVER filter bags made

by The Hoover Company to assure

that your cleaner operates at peak

performance. HOOVER bags can be

identified by these trademarks —

Removing bag door

To change filter bag, press down at

top of bag door and pull door for-

ward.

What to buy

mance, use only Genuine

Check agitator shield

Because your cleaner picks up so

well, we strongly recommend you

check for debris accumulation

under the agitator shield each time

you clean the filters.

Removing debris under the shield

will help maintain your cleaner’s

excellent pick up and suction.

Remove debris as follows:

1. Disconnect cleaner from electri-

cal outlet.

removing bottom plate (Fig. 3-10),

removing agitator (Fig. 3-11), and

lifting agitator shield (Fig. 3-13).
