Lubrication
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.
