Automatic shut off
When the recovery tank (lower tank) is full the
automatic shutoff mechanism will shut off the
carpet cleaner suction
(suction will be
noticeably reduced).
At that time, the yellow float disk will rise to
the top of the recovery tank lid (B). The car-
pet cleaner will no longer pick up dirty solu-
tion and the
motor sound will become
noticeably higher in pitch.
When this happens, turn carpet
cleaner off and empty recovery tank
before continuing use.
Check clean water tank also; it may need to
be refilled.
Do not use without float and float
retainer in place. If broken or dis-
lodged, take to an Authorized Hoover
Service Center or Dealer for repair.
Carrying handle
The carpet cleaner may also be lifted by
placing a hand above the upper clean solu-
tion tank handle as shown.
