Lubrication; Thermal Protector; Authorized Service - Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Owner's Manual

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 lubri-
cant to motor bearings.
The agitator is equipped with two ball bear-
ings 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 happens,
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 activate
after following the above steps, your cleaner
may need servicing (see "Service" section).
