• Check filter presence: Open the exhaust filter cover and confirm the post-motor filter is installed.
• Inspect filter condition: Look for tears, holes, or heavy soiling. Replace if damaged.
• Fit cover securely: Ensure the filter cover is properly aligned and latched to prevent bypass.
• Use genuine filters: Fit a genuine Hoover H-Free HEPA/post-motor filter to maintain filtration performance.
