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 secondary and final filters for
dirt accumulation.
3. Refer to "Clearing blockages"
sec-
tion.
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 acti-
vate after following the above steps,
your cleaner may need servicing (see
"Service" section).
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 peri-
odically by a Hoover Factory Service
Center or an Authorized Hoover Warranty
Service Dealer (Depot).
