BATTERY PACK

27. The battery is the power source for the vacuum. Carefully read and follow all charging instructions.

  reconnecting and turning vacuum back on. If light turns green, the blockage has been successfully
  cleared. If any blockages remains red, please contact Customer Service.

  nozzle. Try disconnecting and reattaching the pieces. If the headlights still do not illuminate, please
  contact Customer Service.

There are several possible reasons for the vacuum turning off on its own, including blockages, ION Power Pack issues, and overheating. If vacuum turns off on its own, perform the following steps:

1. Check LED lights on ION Power Pack to see if it needs to be recharged. If power pack does not need charging, turn off vacuum and remove power pack.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters (see Maintenance section).

BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL

This product uses a lithium-ion rechargeable and recyclable battery. When the battery no longer holds
a charge, it should be removed from the vacuum and recycled. DO NOT incinerate or compost the battery.
When your lithium-ion battery needs to be replaced, dispose of it or recycle it in accordance with local ordinances or regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or in a municipal solid waste stream. Return spent battery to an authorized recycling center or to retailer for recycling. Contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) seal on the lithium-ion battery indicates that the costs to recycle the battery at the end of its useful life have already been paid by SharkNinja. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.

RBRC, in cooperation with SharkNinja and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent lithium-ion battery to an authorized SharkNinja service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-798-7398.
