Remove cardboard from end of handle pieces. Slide the two

handle pieces together. Check to see that cord hooks are on

the same side of the handle. Insert bolt through small holes

and secure with nut. Tighten nut with screwdriver.

If the nut and bolt are not assembled

as shown in the illustration, the holes

in the handle pieces are not lined up

correctly.

ATTACH HANDLE TO CLEANER

Unscrewnut and removebolt and plate

from handle socket. Place handle so that the

holes in the bottom of the handle are directly

in line with the electrical prongs and make

sure the handle is positioned so that the switch

is to rear of cleaner.

Push down until handle is securely in place.

Insert bolt through small holes of handle

pieces and secure with nut. Tighten nut with

screwdriver. If bolt appears too short, the plate

is on backwards or upside down. Make sure

that the contour of the plate fits around the

handle as in illustration.

ATTACH OUTER JACKET TO CLEANER

Place the two projections at the bottom of the

outer bag assembly inside the wire loops at

the back of the cleaner. Pull the bag clip to the

left and fit bag against opening. When you re-

lease the bag clip, make sure that it fits com-

pletely over the bag lock. Attach the bag to the

bag support latch, which is located on the

handle.

BAGCLIP

ATTACH THROW-AWAY BAG

TO CLEANER

Open the outer jacket and pull out tube. Roll

rubber bag retainer down the tube toward the

cleaner, Slip the open end of the throw-away

bag onto tube and push as far back as possible.

(Be sure to match arrow on throw-away bag

with the 0 mark on the tube.) Unroll the

rubber bag retainer so it holds bag firmly in

place.

Graspthe pleats oneachside of the throw-

away bag at dotted line and pull out until

entire dotted line is visible. Placethrow-away

bag inside the outer jacket without folding

and close jacket.

After turning cleaner on, push down on the

handle until the front of the cleaner is free

from the carpet. This insures that the throw-

away bag is inflated.

HOW TO USE THE

CONVERTIBLE CLEANER

The ON-OFF switch is located at the

back of the upper portion of the handle.

To turn cleaner on, push switch down.

To turn cleaner off, raise switch up.

HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS

The handle has three positions: Storage,

Operating and Low. Step on the handle

adjustment lever to lower the handle to

the operating and low position. Use the

low position for reaching under low

furniture. Raise the handle straight up

for the storage position. Always use the

storage position when cleaning tools

are used.

NOZZLE ADJUSTMENT FOR

CARPET PILE HEIGHTS

Use the Nozzle Adjustment Lever to select

the proper nozzle height adjustment for your

carpet pile. The four positions are LOW,

NORMAL, HIGH and SHAG.

Select the desired nozzle adjustment by mov-

ing the lever with your toe until it "clicks" in-

to the desired position. You can most easily

make adjustments if you move the lever UP-

WARDS into the desired position. Therefore,

when a downward adjustment is required,

first press the lever all the way down into the

SHAG position and then move upwards one

position at a time.

Selecting The Proper Carpet Adjustment

LOW POSITION-- Select the LOW position for

cleaning low pile and kitchen carpeting. Notice

that the nozzle of the cleaner is flush with the

carpet.

NORMAL POSITION -- Select the NORMAL

position for carpeting of normal pile height. Use

the NORMAL position when removing loose

dirt from hard surface floors.

HIGH POSITION -- If cleaner is hard to push

on the NORMAL position, select the HIGH

position. Use the HIGH position for very thick

pile carpeting.

SHAG POSITION -- Select the SHAG position

for cleaning very long or shag pile carpet.

NOTE: The LOW position lowers the nozzle to the carpet for effective

cleaning of LOW carpeting. Be sure to change the nozzle adjustment

when cleaning other types of carpeting. If the LOW position is used

when cleaning normal, high or shag pile carpet, there is an increase in

the belt load and pushing effort is greatly increased.

EDGE CLEANING FEATURE

This feature provides for improved cleaning of carpet edges near base-

boards and solid furniture. Passages have been added to the sides of the

cleaner bottom plate to increase air flow carrying dust from the carpet

edge to the nozzle. From the right or left side, slowly guide the cleaner

parallel to the edge of the carpet.

CLEANING LIGHTWEIGHT FLEXIBLE RUGS

Stand on one end of the rug and move cleaner toward other end. Before

reaching the other end, push down on the handle. This will lift up the

nozzle (front of cleaner) and will prevent the rug from clinging to the

cleaner. Continue to lift up the nozzle of the cleaner when you have

reached the end. Push down on the handle until the cleaner is complete-

ly off the rug. Move the cleaner back to start again and lower the

nozzle, using only forward strokes.

near the top for ease in hanging.) Also it can

be hung conveniently on a hook in the closet.

CARING FOR THE CLEANING

TOOL ATTACHMENTS

To clean the hose wipe off dirt with a cloth

dampened with a liquid detergent. Use a

damp cloth to remove detergent. The attach-

ments may be washed in warm water and

detergent. Rinse and let dry before using.

NOTE: Disconnect cord before replacing parts.

THE BAG

Your Hoover cleaner has a durable outer jacket which covers the throw-

away bag. A light wiping with a damp cloth will keep this outer

jacket clean.

To assure that your Hoover cleaner operates at peak performance it is

imperative that you use only genuine Hoover throw-away filter bags

made by The Hoover Company. Genuine Hoover bags can be iden-

tified by the Hoover Medallion. These bags are made

from special material which is scientifically formu-

lated to filter out dust while allowing air to flow

through freely.

WHEN TO REPLACE

Check the bag from time to time. When dirt reaches the dotted line

printed on the throw-away bag, the bag should be changed. If you let

more dirt than this accumulate, your cleaner will not operate efficiently.

Discard used bag.

CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder, cornstarch, fire-

place ashes or fireplace soot, may seal the throw-away bag and may

cause it to burst even though it is only partially full of dirt. When the

cleaner is used to remove material of this nature, the bag should be

changed frequently.

*Available with Deluxe Set only.

WHERE TO BUY BAGS

Bags may be purchased from your local Authorized Hoover Dealer, or

from Hoover Factory Branch Service Centers listed on the white insert.

WHEN ORDERING BAGS BE SURE TO MENTION THE MODEL OF

YOUR CLEANER. This is located on the bottom side of the main

casting at the opening where the cleaning tool converter is inserted.

REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT*

Disconnect the Cleaner From Electrical

Outlet

1. Set nozzle adjustment to the Normal

or High position

2. Turn cleaner over and remove the two

screws indicated in the illustration. Place

cleaner in the upright position. Slip furni-

ture guard and hood up off of cleaner

casting.

3. Take off hood and remove bulb by

pressing in and turning in a counter-

clockwise direction.

4. Replace with same wattage bulb by

pressing in and turning in a clockwise

direction.

5. Replace hood. Position furniture guard

onto casting of cleaner. Tighten screws.

THE BELT

The belt of your Hoover cleaner controls

the speed of the rug agitator and is impor-

tant for the efficient operation of your

cleaner. Because of this, it is important

when buying a new belt that you always

insist on a genuine Hoover belt. Some

other belts on the market, not manufac-

tured under Hoover design and quality

controls, do not operate the agitator

correctly and create undue stress which

will damage your Hoover cleaner. Genuine

Hoover belts have the word HOOVER

embossed on the belt.
