Lubrication
The motor is equipped with two bearings that 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.
