When to replace

What to buy
When purchasing a new agitator, ask for
HOOVER part no. 48414110.
How to replace
Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.
Remove hood and agitator cover as described in the “Belt replacement” section.
Discard old agitator.
Continue following the directions in the “Belt replacement” section to replace belt, new agitator, agitator cover and hood.
Lubrication
The motor is equipped with bearings that contain sufficient lubrication for the life of the motor. The addition of lubricant could cause damage. Therefore, do not add lubricant to motor bearings.
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 designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates, 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 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 servicing (see“Service” section).
