How Do I Attach the Upholstery Attachment to My Hoover Steamvac?

The Hoover SteamVac is an alternative to renting a professional carpet cleaning machine from a retail store, and acts in much the same way, using warm water and cleaning solution to clean carpets and other surfaces. The SteamVac comes equipped with a set of tools for accessing hard-to-reach places and cleaning cars and upholstery. Attaching the upholstery tool to the SteamVac is fairly simple, and should only take a few minutes to complete.

      Pull the tan collar on the cleaner towards the tube so that the black tabs extend.

      Lift open the "Stair/Upholstery Cleaning Connection" port and connect the suction tube connector on to the nozzle inside the port. Push down firmly to ensure that the hose is completely connected.
