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

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 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 servicing
(see“Service” section).
