Lubrication
The motor is equipped with bearings
that contain sufficient lubrication for the
life of the motor. The addition of lubri-
cant could cause damage. Therefore,
do not add lubricant to motor bear-
ings. 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 hap-
pens, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the cleaner OFF and disconnect
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 clean-
ing may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to acti-
vate after following the above steps, your
cleaner may need servicing (see “Service”
section).
