Clearing Obstructions - Hoover Vacuum Cleaners Operating Manual

event, check the bag, making sure all the folds are open. High suction on
some carpet surfaces can cause the nozzle to hug the carpet and also
restrict air flow, When this occurs, reducing the suction with the Suction
Regulator may be helpful.
Adjust bag around the motor
housing and open the folds of the
bag to allow the bag to properly
fill. Make sure all four folds are
open.
