23. This product includes rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries. Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not incinerate the batteries or expose to high temperatures as they may explode.

TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR NI-CD BATTERIES:

1. Charge for 20 hours before initial use. Failure to do so will reduce the product’s battery life significantly.

2. After first use, discharge the unit fully and then recharge for 16 hours.

3. For best battery performance, remove the charging adapter from the unit after the charging period has completed.

4. Do not store the unit with the charging adapter attached and plugged in.

5. For maximum battery life, only recharge the unit when the batteries are close to fully discharged.
   It is best to fully discharge the batteries at least once a month.

6. DO NOT store in areas of high temperature or humidity.

7. After 3 months of non-use, the product should be fully discharged and then recharged to maximize battery power.

8. Ni-Cd batteries have a long useful life but at some time they will need to be replaced. To purchase replacement batteries, visit www.sharkclean.com.

NOTE: The power button must be in the “Off” position in order to charge the unit. If the charging indicator does not light, press the power button once.

INTRODUCTION

QUICK START

Thank you for purchasing the Shark® Cordless Floor and Carpet Sweeper

IMPORTANT: Before you can start using your new cordless floor and carpet sweeper, charge it for 20 hours.

NOTE: The charging adapter will be shipped inside the packaging.

ASSEMBLE

1. Insert the lower handle extension tube (the shortest of the three tubes) into the lower handle (a). Then assemble the other two extension tubes and insert the assembly into the lower handle extension tube (b). Now attach the upper handle to the top extension tube. (Fig. 1)

CLEAN

2. Pull back on the handle and press lightly on the body of the unit with your foot to engage the steering. (Fig. 2)

3. Using your foot, press the power button and push the unit forward over the surface you wish to clean. (Fig. 3)

4. Press the speed button on the right with your foot to change the speeds. One light indicates the speed optimized to clean bare floors and two lights indicate the speed optimized to clean carpets and larger debris on bare floors. (Fig. 4)

EMPTY

5. When you’re finished cleaning, pull the dust container straight out from the side. (Fig. 5)
   NOTE: Be careful not to accidentally turn the unit on.

6. Empty dust container contents. (Fig. 6) If desired, you may rinse with water to clean the dust container – but dry thoroughly before replacing.
   When finished, replace the dust container.

ASSEMBLY

COMPONENTS:

• A Main Unit
• B Speed Control Button
• C Power Button
• D Dust Container
• E Upper Handle
• F Extension Tubes
• G Lower Handle Extension Tube
• H Charging Adapter

ASSEMBLY OF YOUR FLOOR AND CARPET SWEEPER:

NOTE: The charging adapter and lower handle will be shipped inside the packaging.

IMPORTANT: Charge the batteries for 20 hours before using the unit for the first time.
See page 7 for instructions on charging your unit.

1. Insert the lower handle extension tube (the shortest of the three tubes) into the lower handle (a). Then assemble the other two extension tubes and insert the assembly into the lower handle extension tube (b).
   Now attach the upper handle to the top extension tube. (Fig. 1)

CHARGING YOUR CORDLESS FLOOR AND CARPET SWEEPER

1. Always make sure that the unit is turned off. (Fig. 2)

2. Insert the charger plug into the hole on the back of the unit.
   Plug the charger into a wall outlet. The light next to the power button will illuminate when the unit is charging. If the unit is plugged in and the light is not illuminated, press the power button once. The light should now be illuminated indicating that the unit is charging. (Fig. 3)

3. Charge the battery for 20 hours before initial use and 16 hours for each recharge. Your cordless floor and carpet sweeper is powered by Ni-Cd batteries that need this time to build up their charge.

4. For best battery performance, remove the charging adapter from the unit after the charging period has completed. Storing the unit with the adapter attached and plugged in will reduce the battery life.

IMPORTANT: Although many adaptors look similar, it’s important to use only the adaptor that came with the unit (XA2940).

NOTE: If you notice a decrease in run time over time, recondition the batteries by running the sweeper until the sound drops significantly, then turn off the unit and charge for 20 hours.
This battery reconditioning process can also be performed as monthly maintenance.

USING YOUR CORDLESS FLOOR AND CARPET SWEEPER

If the brush roll stops moving, it’s probably due to the anti-jam feature. This feature protects the motor from becoming overheated.
If the brush becomes overloaded, it will stop turning and both speed indicator lights will  stay on. Turn off your unit by pressing the power button once. See page 9 for instructions on removing or cleaning the brush roll. Wait for 10 seconds to let your unit cool down. Now press the power button again and you’re ready to resume cleaning!

1. Press the power button to start the unit. When finished cleaning, press the power button again to turn the unit off. (Fig. 4)

2. You can adjust the speed of the brush roll to suit the floors that you are cleaning. Press the button on the right (opposite the power button) to switch between speeds. One light indicates the speed optimized to clean bare floors and two lights indicate the speed optimized to clean carpets and larger debris on bare floors. (Fig. 5)
