Automatic shut off
When the recovery tank (lower tank) is full
the automatic shutoff mechanism will shut
off the 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 cleaner will no longer pick up dirty
solution and the motor sound will
become noticeably higher in pitch.
When this happens, turn cleaner off
and empty recovery tank before con-
tinuing 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.
