- Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with this product, as they may cause damage.
- Store appropriately indoors in a dry place. Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.
- Brushroll continues to rotate while product is turned on and handle is in the upright position. To avoid damage to carpet, rugs and flooring, avoid tipping vacuum or setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs or carpeted stairs.
- With brushroll on, do not allow cleaner to sit in one location for an extended period of time, as damage to floor can result.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipmentgrounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A).
The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly
installed and grounded inaccordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug (A) illustrated in Fig. 1.
A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is not available (Fig. 2). The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can
be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1). The green colored rigid ear,
lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2).
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw. NOTE: In Canada, the use of
a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

ASSEMBLY
- Remove the two screws from the connector assembly. Remove plastic insert by pulling upward.
- With ON/OFF switch facing the front, slide upper handle section over matching section of the connector assembly. Hold handle brace against upper handle and align screw holes. Insert one screw into top hole and one screw into the bottom hole, then tighten firmly until handle is no longer loose.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate the cleaner without a paper filter dust bag.
- First, make sure the disposable paper filter dust bag is in place.
- Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and press the On (l) – OFF (O) switch on Helping Handle Assembly.
THERMAL PROTECTION
A thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from
overheating. When the thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop
running. If this happens proceed as follows:
- Turn cleaner OFF (and remove battery pack).
- Empty dirty water tank.
- Inspect the nozzle for any obstructions. Clear obstructions if present.
- When cleaner is de-energized and motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above
steps, your cleaner needs servicing.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
REPLACING THE FILTER DUST BAG
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts – Unplug before
cleaning or servicing.
All paper dust bags are NOT the same. Your Hoover® disposable dust bags have
been designed to be used with the Hoover® cleaner.
Using bags other than genuine Hoover® disposable bags will affect the cleaning
ability of your cleaner and could cause damage to it.

IMPORTANT: Make sure bag collar is behind lips “A” and “B”. If it is not, dust will leak into outer bag. When filter bag is in place, close outer bag with zipper fastener.
REPLACING A WORN BELT
- Remove the door by removing the Hold Down Screw located on side of power head. Slide the door forward by prying open with a screwdriver or coin.
- Remove the belt from the brush roll pulley and the motor drive shaft.
- Loop the new belt over the motor drive shaft. Place the opposite end of the belt on the brush roll pulley.
- Rotate the brush roll all the way around three (3) times to ensure that no part of the belt is overhanging the end of the motor drive shaft.
- Replace the door and Hold Down Screw.
CLEARING A CLOG
If your vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly, or makes an unusual noise and the outer bag does not fluff/ balloon open, there may be a clog.
- Check for clogs in the nozzle inlet. If there is no clog in the nozzle inlet, you will need to check the tube.
- To check the tube, first unhook retainer spring, releasing the bottom of the bag.
- Twist lower collar counter clockwise to slide up.
Pull tube out of base. Check for both ends for a blockage. If tube is not blocked, look into fan housing.
TO REASSEMBLE
- Check the O-ring on tube and replace if damaged. Vacuum will not operate properly without the tube O-ring. Slide O-ring to approximately 2” from base of tube. Replace tube by first lining up slot at base of tube with inner tab inside fan housing. Then reinsert tube and push down until the tube is seated. Make sure O-ring is in place against fan housing opening.
- Replace and tighten collar until collar locking tabs are locked in place. Make sure collar is not cross threaded on housing.
CORD STORAGE: Press cord into clip so that the cord is resting alongside
the handle. Wrap the power cord around the cord hooks for convenient storage.
LUBRICATION : The motor is equipped with bearings which contain
sufficient lubrication for their lifetime. The addition of lubricant could
cause damage. Do not add lubricant to motor bearings.
