CHARGING THE BATTERY

THIS MACHINE IS ONLY TO BE USED WITH VAX ONEPWR BATTERIES AND CHARGER.
PLEASE READ THE SAFETY GUIDE BEFORE USE.

NOTE: Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged. Failure to fully charge the battery before first use may result in poor battery performance. The life expectancy of the battery will vary depending on the usage of the machine.

OPERATION

WARNING: The brushbar in the powered floorhead constantly rotates when switched on. Never use the powered floorhead on one spot for an extended period of time as the brushbar may damage the floor surface. Always turn the powered floorhead brushbar off when cleaning hard floors. To prevent any damage being sustained, test on an inconspicuous area of the flooring first.

Constant use of the boost mode and brushbar will reduce the battery runtime.
