Cleaning floors NOTE: Your HOOVER® FloorMate™ SpinScrub™ 800 cleaner may be used to clean wood floors that have been sealed with a polyurethane coating and can be cleaned with water. CAUTION: To prevent damage to wood floors, follow the flooring manufacturer's cleaning recommendations. If using cleaner on sealed wood floors, inspect floor surface for worn finish, bare wood or separated joints. Do not use FloorMate™ SpinScrub™ cleaner to wet clean sealed wood floors if any of these conditions exist. 1 Set Mode selector dial to DRY VAC position and vacuum floor. Turn cleaner off and disconnect from electrical outlet. Empty recovery tank (see Figs. 27 2 and 28). Determine the type of brushes to be used (either gray for ceramic and other tiles or white for vinyl and sealed wood floors). See "Cleaning the brushes" for removing and replacing brushes. 3 Fill solution tank with either Floor to Floor™ Cleaning Concentrate or Grout Cleaner, depending upon the type of floor being cleaned, and water (see Figs. 20 through 26). Do not use solvent based cleaning concentrates in your cleaner. Do not use any type of wax in your cleaner. 4 Turn Mode selector dial to WASH position. 5 Dry hands and plug cleaner into a properly grounded outlet. 6 Step on handle release pedal and lower handle to operating position. Turn cleaner ON. 7 To release solution, squeeze trigger (A) (Fig. 34). Slowly move cleaner forward and backward over area to be cleaned. 34 Squeeze trigger to release solution as needed. Overlap strokes by one inch to help prevent streaking. The cleaner's suction will pick up the dirty solution throughout A cleaning. 8 To greatly enhance drying of the floor surface, release trigger and turn Mode selector dial to the WET PICKUP position. Continue to move cleaner over the area to pick up the dirty solution. 9 To continue cleaning another area, turn Mode selector dial to WASH position. Repeat steps 7 through 9. Note: When cleaning sealed wood floors, make sure all areas are completely dry. Ensure that no water remains on the floor. Note: When switching between wet cleaning and wet pickup, it is not necessary to turn the cleaner off. Simply move the Mode selector dial between the two settings. 10 Empty recovery tank or clean the filter when the motor sound becomes higher in pitch and there is a loss of suction (see "Automatic shut-off" section). Picking up spills Your cleaner may also be used to pick up small liquid spills (1 quart or less, never to exceed 1/4 inch in depth) on non-carpeted floors. Turn Mode selector dial to the WET PICKUP position and release the trigger. Continue to move cleaner over the area to pick up the spill. Do not use the cleaner to pick up flammable or combustible liquids or chemicals. do not use the cleaner to pick up detergents that contain solvent based ingredients. Continued § 13
