how to Clean
CAUTION
!
To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts,
unplug Power Canister before servicing.
Remove the dirt container by unlatching the latches
located on each side of the dirt container.
Place a plastic grocery bag over the dacron/cloth
filter and around the cyclonic deflector that sur-
rounds the filter.
4.1 Using the plastic bag as hand protection from
dirt particles, shake the filter to cause any particles
adhering to the filter to fall into the bag.
Replace the dirt container and secure latches.
If the cloth filter should need to be removed, grasp
it near the top and pull towards the middle of the
unit in order to remove.
4.2 To replace the cloth filter, you must decrease
the circumference of the filter by pulling one side of
the filter towards the center of the filter to create a
"V" or "U" shape.
Place the filter back into the unit and let the filter
snap outward into the groove.

ClearinG BloCkaGes

Determine if the blockage is in the hose or piping by inserting hose in an inlet valve.
Check to see if there is any suction at another inlet valve by opening the cover. If there is, plug the hose
into the second wall valve and feel the end of the hose to see if there is regular suction.
If the blockage is in the hose, insert a long blunt item, such as a broom handle, to clear the blockage.
If the blockage is in the pipe, insert hose into wall valve and place hand over end of hose to cut off air flow.
Place your hand on and off the end of hose rapidly several times.
If this does not clear the blockage, contact your local Hoover Sales and Service Center (See Service
Section).
Check tools, wands, etc. for blockages.

4.1
!
Printing must be on the inside of the cloth filter
when installed.
Make sure the cloth filter is fitting properly into
the groove so it will not come out when the
machine is turned on. Failure to do so could void
your warranty.
