Cleaning hard floors
9. Continue to squeeze trigger and
slowly pull cleaner back toward you
(second wet stroke). The cleaner rinses
the carpet on the backward pass. Note:
To assure proper rinsing, it is impor-
tant to keep the cleaner on the same
path backward as forward.
10. Release trigger and slowly push
cleaner forward over area just sprayed
with solution (dry stroke). Then slowly
pull cleaner back toward you without
squeezing trigger (dry stroke). Continue
using dry strokes until little water is visi-
ble passing through the recovery tank
lid.
How to attach hard floor
brushes and squeegee
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
To prevent possible leaking, remove
clean water tank (Fig. 2-10) and recov-
ery tank (Fig. 2-21). Set tanks aside (do
not set tank on furniture).
1. With handle in upright position, tilt
cleaner back so that handle rests on the
floor.
2. Remove brush assembly with green
bristles. Attach hard floor brush assem-
bly, with the white bristles. (Refer to
Maintenance section, Removable brush-
es, for attaching and removing brush
assemblies.)
3. Lift up rear edge of nozzle (A). Slide
nozzle up and remove from cleaner.

12. If you would like to rinse the carpet
with water only, set Rinse Setting switch
to RINSE (Fig. 3-8). Repeat steps 8-10.
In this setting, rinsing will be done on
both forward and reverse strokes.
Rinsing is not necessary, but will help
remove detergent residue and help your
carpet look fresher.
13. For heavily soiled areas, repeat
steps 7-10. Avoid saturating carpet, as
noted below.
Note: To avoid saturating carpet, do
not use more than 4 wet strokes over
one area. Always end with dry
strokes.
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes
as described above.
For best cleaning results and to aid in
faster drying of carpet, end with more
dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes
until little water is visible passing through
the recovery tank lid.)
14. Empty recovery tank when the
motor sound becomes higher pitched
and there is a loss in suction (see
“Automatic shut-off”, Fig. 2-6).
When finished cleaning, follow “After
cleaning” instructions on page 11.
Carpet Cleaning
Read “Before you begin cleaning”
instructions on page 10.

assembly with the green, shorter bristles.
(Refer to Maintenance section, Removable

assemblies.) Do not use hard floor brush
assembly when cleaing carpet.
2. Fill clean water tank according to
instructions for Figs. 2-9 to 2-12.
3. Fill detergent container with HOOVER
Carpet/Upholstery Detergent according
to instructions for Figs. 2-13 to 2-14.

erly grounded outlet.

lets.

start at the end of the room farthest from
the door or path to sink where tanks will
be emptied and filled.
Step on handle release pedal and lower
handle to operating position.
11. For best results, use straight, parallel
strokes as shown in the diagram below.
Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help pre-
vent streaking.
Keep nozzle flat on floor for both forward
and reverse strokes.
