3. Maintenance
Filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It is
recommended that you change the filter
bag when dirt reaches the dotted line. If
more dirt than this accumulates, your
cleaner will not operate effectively.
Note : All new carpet has loose fibers
which can fill the bag quickly while
vacuuming
.
If you are using the cleaner on new
carpet, be sure to change the filter
bag often.
CAUTION:Very fine materials, such as
face powder, cornstarch, fireplace
ashes or fireplace soot, may seal the
filter bag and may cause it to burst
even though it is only partially full of
dirt. When cleaner is used to remove
material of this nature, change filter
bag often.
It is imperative that you use only gen-
uine HOOVER filter bags made by The
Hoover Company to assure that your
cleaner operates at peak performance.
HOOVER bags can be identified by
these trademarks —

Check bag indicator
The indicator (J) will begin to show red as
the filter bag fills with dirt.
T h e re are three conditions that will cause
the indicator to become completely re d :
1. If the bag is full; change the bag.
2. If very fine materials have been picked
up, clogging the bag pores; change the
bag.
3. If there is a blockage at the front of the
c l e a n e r, in the hose, tools or at the bag
opening; remove the blockage (see
“Clearing blockages” section).
