IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:

GENERAL WARNINGS

1. Your vacuum cleaner may consist of a motorized nozzle, wand, hose, and/ or vacuum pod. This device contains electrical connections, electrical wiring, and moving parts that potentially present risk to the user.
2. Use only identical replacement parts.
3. Carefully observe and follow the instructions provided below to avoid improper use of the appliance. DO NOT use the vacuum for any purpose other than those described in this manual.
4. Before use, carefully inspect all parts for any damage. DO NOT use if any parts are damaged.
5. The use of an extension cord is NOT recommended.
6. This vacuum cleaner contains no serviceable parts.

USE WARNINGS

7. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when used near children.
This is not a toy.
8. ALWAYS turn off the vacuum cleaner before connecting or disconnecting any motorized nozzles or other accessories.
9. DO NOT handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
10. DO NOT use without filters in place.

11. Only use Shark® branded filters and accessories. Failure to do so will also void the warranty.
12. DO NOT damage the power cord:
a) DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use the cord as a handle.
b) DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. Grasp the plug, not the cord.
c) DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the power cord, close a door on the cord, pull the cord around sharp corners, or leave the cord near heated surfaces.
13. DO NOT put any objects into nozzle or accessory openings. DO NOT use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
14. DO NOT use if nozzle or accessory airflow is restricted. If the air paths or the motorized floor nozzle become blocked, turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug from electrical outlet.
Remove all obstructions before you plug in
and turn on the unit again.
15. Keep nozzle and all vacuum openings away from hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet, or loose clothing.
16. DO NOT use if vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water.

17. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
18. DO NOT leave the vacuum cleaner unattended while plugged in.
19. When powered on, keep the vacuum cleaner moving over the carpet surface at all times to avoid damaging the carpet fibers.
20. DO NOT place vacuum cleaner on unstable surfaces such as chairs or tables.
21. Your Shark® vacuum may not be designed to stand up on its own.
When taking a break from cleaning, you may need to lean it against furniture or a wall, or lay it flat on the floor. Using the vacuum for an application where the unit lacks stability may result in personal injury.
22. DO NOT use to pick up:
a) Liquids
b) Large objects
c) Hard or sharp objects (glass, nails, screws, or coins)
d) Large quantities of dust (drywall dust, fireplace ash, or embers).
DO NOT use as an attachment to power tools for dust collection.
e) Smoking or burning objects (hot coals, cigarette butts, or matches)
f) Flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, or kerosene)
g) Toxic materials (chlorine bleach, ammonia, or drain cleaner)

23. DO NOT use in the following areas:
a) Poorly lit areas
b) Wet or damp surfaces
c) Outdoor areas
d) Spaces that are enclosed and may contain explosive or toxic fumes or vapors (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, paint, paint thinners, mothproofing substances, or flammable dust)
24. Turn off all controls before plugging in or unplugging the vacuum.
25. Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before any maintenance or cleaning.
26. Hand wash with water only.
Washing with cleaning chemicals could damage the unit.
27. During cleaning or routine maintenance, DO NOT cut anything other than hair, fibers, or string wrapped around the brushroll.
28. Allow all filters to air-dry completely before replacing in the vacuum to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.
29. Make sure the dust cup and all filters are in place after routine maintenance.
30. If provided, secure the power cord around the two cord hooks during storage.

GETTING STARTED

A. Handle and Hose
B. Wand
C. Lift-Away® Canister
D. Motorized Floor Nozzle
E. Pet Multi-Tool
F. Crevice Tool
G. Accessory Holder

ACCESSORIES:

PET MULTI-TOOL
A single convertible tool for cleaning tough pet messes two ways: first, a stiff bristle brush for cleaning stuck-on debris. Then take off the bristles to reveal an upholstery tool for removing stubborn pet hair. (Fig. E)

CREVICE TOOL
This slender tool reaches deep into narrow spaces and cleans between cushions, under radiators and baseboards, and in hard-to-reach crevices and corners. (Fig. F)

ACCESSORY HOLDER
Store the crevice tool and the dusting brush here for quick, easy access. (Fig. G)

Your new Shark Navigator® Lift-Away® Pet vacuum cleaner can easily be configured into two different modes: upright vacuum mode and portable Lift-Away mode, both with constant suction power.

MODES:

1. UPRIGHT
Upright vacuuming on floors and carpets. (Fig. 1)

2. LIFT-AWAY
Lift off the canister to clean hard-to-reach places. (Fig. 2)

MODE 1: UPRIGHT

TO ASSEMBLE:
1. Place the floor nozzle on a level surface.
2. Align the tube of the floor nozzle with the Lift-Away canister. Lower the canister until it clicks securely into place. (Fig. 3)
When attaching the motorized floor nozzle, ensure that the latching mechanism is fully locked in place to ensure an electrical connection has been made.
3. Attach the wand to the tube on the back of the canister until it clicks into place. (Fig. 4)

4. To slide the accessory holder (a) onto the wand, align the tab in the holder with the groove in the wand, then slide the holder down. (Fig. 5)
5. Insert the handle (b) into the top of the wand until it clicks into place. (Fig. 5)
6. Insert the end of the hose (c) into the connector on the back of the canister.  (Fig. 5)
7. Store the dusting brush (d) and the crevice tool (e) on the accessory holder. (Fig. 5)

TO USE:

1. Rotate the upper cord hook to quickly release the power cord.
2. Secure the power cord by wrapping it around the cord hooks.
I I = Brushroll ON
I = Bare Floor
O = OFF
3. Press the On/Off switch (a) to setting I to vacuum bare floors or to setting II to engage the brushroll for vacuuming carpets and rugs. (Fig. 6)

IMPORTANT : The brushroll indicator light (b) will illuminate green when brushroll is spinning, or red if there is a blockage or jam. (Fig. 6) See Checking for Blockages section for instructions.

4. To activate the brushroll, step on the floor nozzle, then tilt the handle back. (Fig. 7)
NOTE: The brushroll will not spin unless the nozzle is flat against the floor and the handle is tilted back.
5. Increase or decrease suction by adjusting the suction release collar (c) on the handle. (Fig. 6) If the vacuum seems difficult to push or pull, or if it is lifting up area rugs, reduce suction by rotating the collar counterclockwise.
Rotate the collar clockwise to increase suction and for vacuuming floors.
6. Empty dust cup after vacuuming and periodically during use when it appears full. See Maintenance section for  instructions.
7. When you are finished vacuuming, press the switch to the Off position.
