THIS IS THE “HEART” OF YOUR NEW HOOVER POWER DRIVE CLEANER

Your new Hoover Power Drive is the most powerful upright cleaner ever built.

To handle the wide range of pile depth of modern carpets and rugs, two (2) adjustment features have been provided. These features are Automatic Rug Adjustment and Suction Adjustment as explained in the following paragraphs. When used properly, they will assure the best cleaning efficiency and ease of operation.

Automatic Rug Adjustment. The nozzle of your cleaner is designed to float on top of the carpet and thereby adjust automatically to the correct carpet height for all known carpets. No manual nozzle adjustment is ever necessary.

Suction Adjustment For Carpets and Rugs.

Set the dial on the back of the cleaner to MEDIUM. (Fig. 1) This will be the correct setting for the majority of rugs. On very thin or loosely woven carpeting, it may be necessary to move the dial toward the LOW position.

For indoor/outdoor, sculptured or multi- level rugs, it may be necessary to move the dial toward HIGH for most effective cleaning.

NOTE: Be certain dial indicator points to desired suction - not to the neutral area between carpet and tool suction. Operate cleaner on dry carpet only.

Suction Adjustment For Cleaning Tools.

(Fig. 2) The handle of the cleaner must be in storage position (See Page 2) when cleaning tools are used. When the handle is in this position, the nozzle is raised automatically and the agitator does not come in contact with the rug. The Automatic Power Drive

is disengaged and the cleaner will not self- propel.

Attach hose and cleaning tools (Page 5). Set Suction Control Dial to HIGH under TOOL Suction for most cleaning. For cleaning drap- eries and delicate fabrics, move dial toward LOW.

The dial can be placed at HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW or any space between these markings.
