detected, do not use the charger or the battery until you have replaced the
worn or damaged part.
Care
• If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and place the
damaged battery in a plastic bag. Please refer to the information on this page
for proper disposal.
• If acid comes in contact with skin or eye, flush with cool water for at least
15 minutes and call a physician.
• If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia or egg whites
immediately. Never give emetics or induce vomiting. Call a physician.
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely before charging.
• Charge the battery at least once per month, even if the vacuum has not been used.
• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will ruin it.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75°F or below -10° F.
Disposal
• The battery is a sealed lead-acid battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in

• Return exhausted batteries to a federal or state approved lead-acid battery
recycler, such as a local seller of automotive batteries. Contact your local waste
management officials for other information regarding the environmentally sound
collection, recycling and disposal of lead-acid batteries. If you live in the State

Operating Instructions
Charging the Unit
1. Before charging, make sure both switches
are in the “off” position. Then insert the
adapter into an electrical outlet and the
plug into charging socket A or B. Charge
batteries for 10 - 12 hours before initial
use. Normal charging time is 8 - 10
hours. After that time, the cleaner will
run for approximately 15 - 20 minutes.
Caution: Do not allow the battery
to run down completely before
charging. In doing so, serious
problems may occur in the battery
life cycle.
2. A red lamp indicates the unit is charging.
A green lamp indicates the unit is fully
charged. If you have a charging problem,
refer to the chart in the
“Troubleshooting” section.
3. It is normal for the adapter to feel warm
while the battery is charging.
4. The cleaner can be on a constant charge
so it is always ready for use (it is over-
charge protected). However, if the cleaner
will not be used for several weeks at a
time, unplugging it is recommended.

soft brush if necessary. Dry it completely before replacing it into the dirt
cup.

Important: Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.
Fig. 8 To maintain cleaning effectiveness, regularly remove hair, lint, strings,
threads, etc. from the brush roll with a knife or scissors. If a blockage
resulting from hair, lint, strings, etc. is caught in the brush roll, the
cleaner will stop automatically for safety purposes. After removing the
blockage, push the “reset button” on the brush assembly. A green light
will appear in the brush lamp next to the reset button and the cleaner
should run normally.

removed if you plan to replace it or you are disposing of the cleaner.
Examine the battery, charger and their connectors for excessive wear or
damage each time you change the battery. If damage or excessive wear is
detected, do not use the charger or the battery until you have replaced the
worn or damaged party.
