bottom of the Metal Extension Handle assembly.

using. To charge the unit, plug the DC Adapter into a
standard electrical outlet (120v-60hz); plug the opposite
end into the Charging Port on the back side of your Perfect
Sweep TURBO. The Charging Indicator Light will illuminate
when properly connected and will not turn off when fully
charged. The Perfect Sweep TURBO is now charging.
Note: The Power Switch must be in the OFF
position when charging.
When completely charged, the Perfect Sweep TURBO
provides up to 60 minutes of full cleaning power.
When charging for the first time, allow to charge uninterrupted
for at least 16 hours. Thereafter, charge at least 12 hours to
renew the Perfect Sweep TURBO battery.
Note: The Power Switch must be in the OFF
position when charging.
Decreased operating time may indicate the battery has
built up a charging resistance. To recharge, first completely
exhaust the battery, recharge it, then exhaust it again before
recharging a second time. This procedure may be required
more than once.
When charging is complete, be sure to unplug the
Perfect Sweep TURBO from the charger.
