Lubrication
The motor is equipped with bearings
that contain sufficient lubrication for the
life of the motor. The addition of lubricant
could cause damage.
Therefore, do
not add lubricant to motor bearings.
The agitator brush roll is equipped with
two ball bearings that should be lubri-
cated periodically by a Hoover Service
Centre.
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 discon-
nect it from the electrical outlet.
2. Check filters for dirt accumulation.
3. Refer to “Clearing blockages”
section.
4.
When cleaner is unplugged and
the motor cools for 30 minutes,
the
thermal protector automatically resets
and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to
activate after following the above steps,
your cleaner may need servicing
(see“Service” section).

cleaning effectiveness, replace agitator
if brushes do not touch card.
