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 acti-
vates, 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 secondary and final 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 servic-
ing (see “Service” section).
