WARNING: RISK OF FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND INJURY. NEVER EXPOSE YOUR BATTERY PACK, CHARGER, OR UNIT TO WATER, MOISTURE, OR FLUIDS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CORROSIVE OR CONDUCTIVE FLUIDS, OR ALLOW FLUIDS TO FLOW INSIDE THESE ITEMS.

Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as salt water, chlorine, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit in the battery pack. If your battery pack is exposed to a corrosive or conductive fluid, do not attempt to use or charge the battery pack and immediately perform the following steps:

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and rubber gloves.
Place your exposed battery pack in a large bucket, such as a 5-gallon or similar bucket, and fill the bucket with regular tap water. Do not place more than two packs in the bucket.
Locate the bucket outdoors in an area inaccessible to children and pets and away from all buildings, garages/sheds, structures, vehicles, and combustible/flammable materials. Leave the battery pack(s) in the bucket filled with tap water and call Customer Service at 1-800-944-9200 for additional instructions on the proper disposal of the exposed battery pack(s).
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to the battery pack, picking up or carrying the product. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing appliances that have the switch on invites accidents.
Disconnect the battery pack before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the product. Such preventative measures reduce the risk of starting the product accidentally.
Recharge only with the HOOVER® charger. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of injury and fire when used with another battery pack.
Use products only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperatures. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F/130°C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
This product contains no serviceable parts.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.

Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with this product, as they may cause damage.
Store appropriately indoors in a dry place. Do not expose the machine to freezing temperatures.
Do not allow the nozzle with brush roll running to sit in one location for an extended period of time, as damage to the floor can result.
The brush roll continues to turn while the product is turned on and the handle is in the upright position. To avoid damage to carpet, rugs, and flooring, avoid tipping cleaner or setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs, or carpeted stairs during tool use.
