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
activate 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 lubri-
cant could cause damage.

Therefore,

do not add lubricant to motor bear-
ings.

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).
