The motor is equipped with one ball bearing and one sleeve bearing. These
bearings contain sufficient lubrication for the life of the motor. The addition
of lubricant could cause damage.
Therefore, do not add lubricant to
either motor bearing.
The agitator is equipped with two ball bearings that should be lubricated
periodically. This should be done by a Hoover Factory Service Center or an
Authorized Hoover Warranty Service Dealer.
