Clearing blockages
When the cleaner senses low suction or
pickup, the Suction Control light will
flash. Low suction or pick up may be
due to a blockage in the system. Refer
to the following steps to check for block-
ages, continuing with each step until the
blockage is found:
1. Turn cleaner off and
disconnect from
electrical outlet; then disconnect
power nozzle plug and wands from
hand grip.
2. Plug cleaner in, turn on, and check
hose end for suction. Remove any
obstructions.
3. Remove power nozzle from wands
and attach wands to hose. Check for
suction and remove any blockages.
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).
