Cleaning carpeted stairs

Read "Before you begin cleaning" instructions on page 9.
Attach hose and solution tube as instructed on pages 11 and 12.
Agitator brushes will not rotate while "solution tube" is
connected to deep cleaner.
Fill clean solution tank according to instructions on pages 7 and
8. Use 5 ounces of HOOVER Carpet/Upholstery Detergent.
Hose length may require that machine be placed at the top of
the stairs to clean upper half of stairway and at bottom of
stairs to clean lower half.
To prevent machine from falling, use extra caution when
cleaning on stairs. Do not place deep cleaner on stairs.
Do not point stair/upholstery nozzle at people or pets.
Dry hands and plug deep cleaner into a properly grounded
outlet.
Turn deep cleaner on.
Pre-spray the carpeted stair by holding the nozzle about one
inch above the carpet and push the wand forward while
pressing the solution trigger (equals one wet stroke).
Position nozzle against the riser and slightly press nozzle into
carpet pile. Press the solution trigger and pull the nozzle
slowly over the carpet (second wet stroke).
Release the trigger, lift nozzle, and position it against riser.
Pull nozzle slowly over carpet without pressing trigger (dry
stroke).
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above.
End with more dry strokes to aid in faster drying of carpet.
Overlap strokes by one-half inch to help prevent streaking.
To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet
strokes over any one area. Always end with dry strokes.
NOTE: Check the recovery tank for fullness often. Empty
tank if it appears full even if automatic shut-off (pg. 6) has not
engaged.
If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the carpet is
completely dry before using the nozzle again.
When finished cleaning, follow "After cleaning" instructions on
page 9 and "After using stair/upholstery nozzle" instructions on
page 13.
