Hoover S1211 - Manual (Page 10)

You can most easily make nozzle
adjustments if you move the lever
UPWARDS with your toe until the
lever “clicks” into the desired po-
sition. Therefore, when a down-
ward adjustment is required, first
press the lever all the way down
into the SHAG position and then
move upward one position at a
time.
Select the adjustment for the carpet pile height according to the chart
Low for low pile and kitchen carpet
Normal for carpet with normal pile height and for removing loose dir
from hard surface floors
High for carpet with normal pile height but thicker density; if the
cleaner is difficult to push at “Normal”, move the lever to the
“High” position.
Shag for very long or shag pile carpet
Note: If the “Low” setting is used on a higher pile carpet, there is an in-
crease in the belt load and pushing effort is greatly increased.
Cleanina liahtweiaht
Lightweight flexible rugs used on
hard surface floors in entrances,
bathrooms, etc. should be cleaned
by the following method.
Stand on one end of the rug and
move the cleaner toward the
other end or edge. Before reach-
ing the other end, push down on
the handle. This will lift up the
nozzle (front of cleaner) and will
prevent the rug from clinging to
the cleaner. Continue to lift up
the nozzle so that when you have
reached the edge, it is completely
off the rug. Move the cleaner back
to start again and lower the noz-
zle, using only forward strokes.
