Hoover PowerMAX Mode d'emploi

PowerMAX Canisters

PowerMAX canister models were introduced in 1993

as replacements for Spectrums, which they resemble

in appearance.

ALL PowerMAX canisters have power nozzles.

Nozzle motors are turned on (rug) and off (bare) at the

hose grip.

CONTROL

Power nozzles packed with PowerMAX models are all

the style shown at the left with two brush brush roll,

headlight and belt check window,

All nozzles used with the PowerMAX have a belt check

window on the top.

On all models (on/off on unit or hose) the hose must be

plugged into the P.T.O. receptacle of the cleaner

before the canister will operate.

Variable speed motors are in some PowerMAX models.

Motor speed can be varied on the unit on some models

and on the hose on others. See drawings.

ALL POWERMAX models:

•Use Type "S", 7 quart, micro filtration T/A bags (std

"S" bags will work)

• Have reusable secondary filters in the bag cavity to

catch any fine dirt which may get past the T/A bag,

These filters can be washed in warm water.

• Have washable micro filters to clean exhaust air

even more before it is returned to the room. See

drawing.

• Have 25' cords on a cord reel

• Have covered tool storage on the cleaner

• Include a 4 piece tool set

On top of the line models, both the on/off

switch on the unit and hose must be activated

to power the unit. A rheostat located on either

the unit or the hose controls the motor speed.

Some models have a surge button on the

hand grip to increase the speed of the pow-

ered nozzle motor.

switch on the unit and hose must be activated

to power the unit. A rheostat located on either
