Dirty Water Tank - Hoover POWER PATH Owner's Manual

Keep nozzle flat on floor for both forward and
reverse strokes.
For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying of
carpet, end with more dry strokes. (Continue using dry
strokes until little water is visible passing through the
nozzle.)
NOTE: Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound
becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see
"Automatic shut-off")
For best cleaning results, Hoover recommends to rinse the
carpet with water only. This will remove residual carpet
cleaning solution from your carpets. To rinse with water
only, fill Solution Tank with water and repeat step 3.7.
For heavily soiled areas, repeat cleaning process. Avoid
saturating carpet.
NOTE: It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as
described above.
Wrap cord around hooks for convenient storage. Attach the
plug end to the cord.

DIRTY WATER TANK

Your carpet washer is equipped with a shut off float within
your dirty water tank. When the dirty water tank becomes
full, the float will rise, shutting off the air flow thru the
nozzle.
Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water tank. If the
dirty water tank does not appear full, turn the power switch
off and wait for the float to settle and reset. If the float
repeatedly shuts off the suction, empty the dirty water tank.
For best results, use only Hoover ® brand cleaning solution.
Other Solutions may generate excessive foam which will
cause the float to rise prematurely and shut off the suction.
A higher concentration of shampoo may cause excessive
foaming.
How to Empty
3.10 Grasp dirty water tank handle and push latch to
release. Pull tank out at a slight angle.
3.11 To empty dirty water tank, pull up on the 2 latches (A)
to open and remove top of tank to empty.
3.12 Replace tank lid with both latches locked after
cleaning. Latches will snap when they are locked. Failure to
do so will result in poor suction performance.
3.13 Insert dirty water tank back into the cleaner until it
snaps into place.
NOTE: Do not open latches before removing tank from
machine.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to remove any debris that has accumulated in the
screen above the float. If the screen becomes clogged, this
may reduce the performance of your cleaner.
IMPORTANT
To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet
strokes over one area. Always end with dry strokes.
IMPORTANT
If the sound of the motor changes to a high pitch, this
indicates the dirty water tank is full and must be emptied.
CAUTION
