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.

ASSEMBLY OF YOUR FLOOR AND CARPET SWEEPER:

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. I nsert 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).

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.
