Lubrication
The motor is equipped with two bear-
ings that contain sufficient lubrication for
the life of the motor. The addition of
lubricant could cause damage.
Therefore, do not add lubricant to
either motor bearing.
The agitator brush roll is equipped with
two ball bearings that should be lubri-
cated periodically by a Hoover Factory
Service Center or an authorized Hoover
Warranty Service Dealer (Depot).
Thermal protector
An internal thermal protector has been
used in your cleaner to prevent over-
heating if a large item or clog gets
caught in the nozzle or at the opening of
the bag.
When the blockage is not removed,
the thermal protector will trip and the
cleaner will stop running.
If this happens, turn cleaner OFF and
disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
Then disconnect nozzle and
remove obstruction. Within 15 minutes,
the thermal protector will cool and auto-
matically reset and cleaning may
resume.
If cleaner does not operate, allow addi-
tional time for thermal protector to reset.
