 Hi, Is this screw that holds the the rear wheels on my hoover model 26 in this picture also the height adjustment mechenism? I'd like to find that out before I keep using that so I don't mess the screw up. Also, Does anyone have a copy of a 26 oners manual they can post here? I love the 262's manual. Thanks everyone.

no it isint..... your thinking of the 150.....that screw is for adjustment, you have to keep adjusting in small amounts then test to get the right height, and you also have to know what the machine should feel like when the height is correct. | ||

 Hi Jae (and Damien)...
Michael is correct. That is what the manual says. Perhaps that screw IS for adjustment, maybe an "inside" trick that the repair folks could use to fine-tune the nozzle height, but the machine was not designed to be height-adjusted by the user. I have the manual and found the page with the comments that Michael mentioned. I have to go out, but I will scan and post the pictures later.

A Couple of Pages from the 1957 Service Manual That big nut is, effectively a prototype of the Normal/High range adjuster on later models and is clearly intended to be set by a technician and not by the "typical" owner. I hope find the attached disassembly instructions to be interesting. | ||
