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 carpet cleaner will no longer pick
up dirty solution and the motor sound
will become noticeably higher in
pitch.
When this happens, turn carpet clean-
er 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.
