BATTERY PACK
REPLACEMENT & DISPOSAL
MAXIMIZING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
1 This vacuum is equipped with an advanced feature that
will shut off the vacuum when the battery is almost fully
discharged. If the vacuum shuts off while in use, charge the
unit until one half of the oval blue light around the power
button flashes, indicating a full charge.
2Charge the vacuum for 7 hours before initial use. After
initial use, each recharge will take 4 to 7 hours because the
charger monitors battery properties to extend battery life.
The entire oval LED light around the power button will flash
every 2 seconds while the unit is charging. When the charge
is complete, one half of the oval will flash every 2 seconds.
3The precision charger monitors the batteries so you don’t
have to. Leaving the unit charging past the complete
charge time will NOT harm the batteries.
4 If the vacuum has never been used or has not been used
for an extended period of time, it will take 3 to 5 complete
charge and run-down cycles to realize the full operational
time of the vacuum.
5Use only the charge adapter supplied with this unit, marked
with “For SV1112 series models only”. If other chargers are
used, the battery can fail, causing damage to the battery, to
the vacuum, or to personal property.
WARNING: The
Cordless vacuum
is powered by Ni-
Mh batteries, which
must be recycled or
disposed of properly in
accordance with state,
federal and local laws.
If uncertain how to
remove the battery
pack, we suggest
you take your hand
vacuum to a reputable
small appliance service
technician to have this
service performed.
WARNING: Never use
ordinary batteries for
replacement as these
may leak and damage
your vacuum. Use
only the battery pack
provided by SharkNinja
for replacement.
WARNING: Do not
store or charge in areas
of high temperature or
humidity.
