How to Attach Tool (Available on select models only) ! CAUTION ! To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, unplug cleaner. All tools connect to the hose in the same manner. 4.7 Attach tool to connector end of hose by sliding it onto connector until the tab (I) locks it securely. Using your thumb, push forward and up on the latch (J) to remove tool as shown. 4.7 I J Before using tool (Available on select models only) It may be necessary to remove air from the system ("prime the pump") so the clean solution will flow to the tool. Follow these steps: 1. Attach tool to hose and turn the carpet cleaner ON. 2. Put the tool on a hard surface or against your hand to block off the suction. 3. Wait a few seconds (can take up to 15 seconds). Then squeeze the trigger and begin cleaning. Cleaning carpeted stairs (Tool available on select models only) Place handle in upright position. Agitator brushes will not rotate while handle is in upright position. Fill Clean Water Solution Tank with HOOVER® Detergent according to instructions on pages 8. Attach tool to end of hose. 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. IMPORTANT Do not place carpet cleaner on stairs. Do not point tools toward people or pets. Dry hands and plug carpet cleaner into a properly grounded outlet. Turn carpet cleaner ON. If necessary, refer to "Before Using Tool" section to remove air from system. 4.8 Pre-spray the carpeted stair by holding the tool (A or B in Fig. 4.1) about one inch above the carpet and push it forward while pressing the trigger (equals one wet stroke). 4.8 4.9 4.9 Position tool against the riser and slightly press it into carpet pile. Press the trigger and pull the tool slowly over the carpet (second wet stroke). Release trigger at end of stroke. Lift tool, and position it against riser. Pull tool 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 1/2 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. If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the carpet is completely dry before using the tool again. Actual model may vary from images shown. 14
