4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install the wall mount:
- Choose a Location: Select a suitable wall location near an electrical outlet if your broom requires charging while mounted. Ensure the location is clear of obstructions and at a convenient height for accessing your electric broom.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the wall mount against the chosen wall location. Use a pencil to mark the positions for the two screw holes. Ensure the mount is level before marking.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type and chosen fasteners, drill pilot holes at the marked positions.
- Insert Wall Anchors (if necessary): If drilling into drywall or masonry, insert suitable wall anchors into the pilot holes. Tap them gently with a hammer until flush with the wall surface.
- Mount the Bracket: Align the wall mount with the drilled holes (or anchors). Insert screws through the elongated holes of the bracket and tighten them securely. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the bracket or the wall.
- Test Security: Gently pull on the installed wall mount to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall before hanging your electric broom.
5. Usage
Once the wall mount is securely installed, you can use it to store your Hoover H-FREE 100 or HF122 electric broom:
- To Mount: Carefully align the electric broom's handle or main body (refer to your broom's specific design for the hanging point) with the hook on the wall mount. Gently lower the broom until it rests securely on the hook.
- To Remove: Lift the electric broom upwards from the hook.
- Ensure the broom is stable and does not wobble excessively when mounted.
6. Maintenance
The Hoover 48030183 Wall Mount requires minimal maintenance:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the wall mount with a soft, damp cloth as needed to remove dust or dirt. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check the wall mount and its fasteners for any signs of loosening or damage. Retighten screws if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wall mount feels loose. | Screws are not fully tightened or wall anchors are insufficient. | Retighten screws. If still loose, consider using stronger or more appropriate wall anchors for your wall type. |
| Broom does not fit securely. | Incorrect broom model or improper hanging technique. | Ensure your broom is a Hoover H-FREE 100 or HF122 series model. Verify you are hanging the broom by its designated hanging point. |
