Elite Bags Question

[hoover_elite_20]

I know this sounds very stupid coming from me, but how do you get a paper bag into the older style hoover elite outer bags?(elite 200/turbolite, some elite 350's, and elite 5.2) Do they also use "style A" bags? I've never noticed a zipper on the side, so I assumed it was a slide top, but I'm just checking. Unfortunatly, I don't have an elite with an older style outer bag. They are my favorite style outer bags for the elites. I would also appreciate it if you would post pictures of how to change the bag and pictures of them up and running, because the big, billowing, inflated bag is what draws me to them.

Thanks!

I have an Elite II and a Soft&Light.....The Soft&Light has a zipper on the side....The Elite II you take the top and disconnect it from the Little Plastic Tab its connected to at the top. Then u slide the Top of the bag off and open it up and stick the bag in from the top and put it on..Thats about it.I could get some pix sometime today or Tommrow

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THOSE ARE THE BEST TWO ELITES I'VE EVER SEEN! Just beautiful! I love the big, inflated bags on both the elite 2 and the soft and light. Excellent job!

Here's a cool idea I just thought of:

You should try putting the tool rack on the elite 2.

 

[clarkecombi]

I did,but it seemed like it didnt look right on it..it looked right on the soft&light

 

[hoover_elite_20]

I guess you're right.

The bag would inflate right over it and cover it up.
