Picking Up Spills; Routine Maintenance - Uline Hoover Steamvac H-3481 Manual Del Usuario

PICKING UP SPILLS

The Hoover SteamVac spotter/carpet cleaner may be
used to pick up small liquid spills (1 gallon or less, never
to exceed 1/4 inch in depth) on carpet.
1. Place floor nozzle with brushes turned to Spill Pick
Up in front of the spill. Pull the nozzle very slowly
over the spill initially with suction only. Repeat with
spray and suction. Although no cleaning solution
can completely remove all spots, they can be
treated by following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the carpet being cleaned.
WARNING! Do not use the cleaner to pick up
flammable or combustible liquids
or chemicals.
2. When finished cleaning, follow "After Cleaning"
instructions. (See Page 6)
STORAGE
Before storing:
• Empty solution tank and rinse thoroughly with clean
water.
DAILY
1. Extension Cord and Plug – Check extension cord
and plug for any cuts or damage. If damaged,
discontinue use.
2. Motor – If there are unusual sounds or if poor
performance occurs, the motor should be inspected
immediately by the Uline service team.

to ensure that the brush indicator is spinning. If
brushes are not rotating and speed selector is
not set to "Spill Pick Up", inspect brushes for any
obstructions.
4. Rinse – Rinse out both tanks and filter after every use
and let them dry completely.
