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
is
equipped
with
two
ball
bearings
that
should
be
lubricated
periodically
by
a Hoover
Factory
Service
Center
or
an
Authorized
Hoover

Service
Dealer
(Depot).
