Frequently Asked Questions - SPINSWEEP PRO HOOVER

How to assemble the SpinSweep Pro handle?

Insert the lower handle sections into the upper section on each side, then push the button to engage the desired height. The Pro has 5 height adjustment holes.

How to adjust the brush height?

Turn the adjustment dial to HIGH to raise the brushes (for uneven surfaces) or to LOW to lower them (for smooth surfaces).

What if the sweeper does not pick up debris?

Check the height adjustment: too high for small debris, too low for large debris. Adjust accordingly. If the brushes do not spin, raise the height or avoid very smooth surfaces.

Why is the sweeper hard to push?

Turn the height adjustment to HIGH to reduce friction on uneven surfaces. If the problem persists, check that the brushes are not obstructed.

How to empty the collection bin?

Slide the release button backward, lift the handle, and remove the bin. Empty it into a trash can, then clean with warm water and mild detergent.

Can the sweeper be used on grass or liquids?

No, it is designed only for hard, flat surfaces. Do not use on grass, liquids, or steps.

How to clean the brushes?

Clean the brushes with water and mild detergent. Avoid high-pressure water jets. To replace the brushes, contact a Hoover service center.

Where to find the model number?

The full model number is printed on the base of the sweeper. Write it down before contacting customer service.

What is the warranty for the SpinSweep Pro?

Full 1-year warranty for domestic and light commercial use. It covers parts and labor. Keep your proof of purchase.

How to store the sweeper?

Loosen the handle knobs, fold it towards the brushes, then retighten. Store the device upright or hanging in a dry place.
