Automatic “shut off”
When the re c o v e r y tank (lower tank) is full
the automatic shutoff mechanism will shut
o f f the deep cleaner suction (suction will
be noticeably reduced).
At that time the yellow float disk will rise
to the top of the recovery tank lid (E).
The deep cleaner will no longer pick up
dirty solution and the motor sound will
become noticeably higher in pitch.
When this happens turn deep cleaner
off and empty recovery tank before
continuing use.
Check clean solution 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.
