There are two types of full bag indicators. One is a light which will glow
red showing the words “CHECK BAG”. The second is an indicator which
appears showing the words “CHECK BAG”. This indicator may become
visible for a few seconds when the cleaner is first turned on and will then
disappear. If the “CHECK BAG” light stays red, or the
BAG”
indicator remains visible, the cleaner is not operating satisfactorily. You
should: Replace the bag, check secondary filter, and check nozzle hose.
NOTE:
The “CHECK BAG” indicator may be visible when cleaning tools
are used. This does not necessarily mean that the cleaner is not operating
satisfactorily. This can be checked by turning the dial to CARPET SUC-
TION position and checking the indicator. If it disappears, the bag does not
need to be replaced.
THROW AWAY BAG To assure that your cleaner
operates at peak performance it is imperative that
you use only genuine HOOVER throw away filter
bags made by The Hoover Company. These bags
are made from a special material which is scientif-
ically formulated to filter out dust while allowing
air to flow through freely. Genuine HOOVER bags
can be identified by the following trademarks.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder, cornstarch, fireplace
ashes or fireplace soot, may
seal
the throw-away bag and may cause it to
burst even though it is only partially full of dirt. When the cleaner is used
to remove material of this nature, the bag should be changed frequently.
WHERE TO BUY BAGS Bags may be purchased from your local Author-
ized Hoover Dealer, or from Hoover Factory Service Stations listed on the
white insert.
When ordering bags, be sure to give the model of your cleaner.
