Lubrication
The motor is equipped with bear-
ings that contain sufficient lubrica-
tion for the life of the motor. The
addition of lubricant could cause
damage.
Therefore, do not add
lubricant to motor bearings.
The
agitator is equipped with two ball
bearings that should be lubricated
periodically by a Hoover Factory
Service Center or an Authorized
Hoover Warranty Service Dealer
(Depot).
Thermal protector
An internal thermal protector has
been designed into your cleaner to
protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector
activates, the cleaner will stop
running.
If this happens, proceed
as follows:
1. Turn the cleaner OFF and dis-
connect it from the electrical outlet.
2. Check secondary and final fil-
ters for dirt accumulation.
3. Refer to “Clearing blockages”
section.
4.
When cleaner is unplugged
and the motor cools for 30 min-
utes,
the thermal protector automat-
ically resets and cleaning may con-
tinue.
If the thermal protector continues to
activate after following the above
steps, your cleaner may need ser-
vicing (see “Service” section).
