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 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 designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector acti- vates, the cleaner will stop run- ning. If this happens, proceed as follows:
1.Turn the cleaner OFF and dis- connect it from the electrical outlet.
2.Check secondary and final fil- ters for dirt accumulation.
3.Refer to “Clearing blockages” section.
4.When cleaner is unplugged and the motor cools for 30 min- utes, the thermal protector automati- cally resets and cleaning may con- tinue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner may need ser- vicing (see “Service” section).
