MAXIMIZING THE LIFE OF YOUR
BATTERY
1To enhance battery life, 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, turn
the power off and charge the unit for
16 hours.
2Charge the vacuum for 24 hours
before initial use and 16 hours for each
recharge. Leaving the unit plugged in
longer than the 16-hour charge time
will not damage the batteries.
3If the vacuum has never been used
or has not been used for an extended
period of time, it will take 3 to 5 16-
hour charges and full run down cycles
to realize the full operational time of
the vacuum.
4Do not store in areas of high
temperature or humidity
5Use only adapter model number
HK-AC-160A020-GB supplied by the
manufacturer. If other chargers are
used, the battery can fail causing
damage to the battery, to the vacuum,
or to personal property.
BATTERY RECONDITIONING
If you experience shorter run time over the
life of the vacuum, perform the following
battery reconditioning steps. These
steps can also be performed as monthly
maintenance for maximum battery life.
1Charge the vacuum for a minimum of
24 hours.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE - cont.
CLEANING THE FILTER
To ensure your vacuum lives
a long and healthy life, it is
important to regularly clean the
filter. A dirty filter will result in
poor suction and could overheat
the motor. We recommend
cleaning the filter each time the
battery fully runs down.
1Turn off the vacuum and remove
the dust cup by pressing up on
the dust cup release button.
2Pull the filter frame out from
the top of the dust cup cover
and remove the foam filter from
inside. (fig. 12)
3 Rinsethelterinlukewarmwater
and squeeze the water out.
(fig. 13)
4Let it air dry for 24 hours
DO NOT use a hair dryer or other
forced hot air to dry the filter.
5When the foam filter is completely
dry, reinsert it into the filter frame
and put the frame back into the
top of the dust cup cover. (fig. 14)
CLEANING THE MOTORIZED
BRUSH AND CLEARING
BLOCKAGES
An accumulation of hair, string,
and other debris may sometimes
become caught and wrapped
around the rotating brush. The
motorized brush must be free
from debris for maximum cleaning
performance. To clean the brush
roll and clear blockages:
1Turn off the vacuum.
2Press the attachment release
button and remove the motorized
brush. (fig. 15)

anything wound around the
brush by carefully cutting it
with scissors. The brush roll is
equipped with a raised cutting
guide to make inserting scissors
easier. Avoid damaging or cutting
the bristles. (fig. 16)
5Use a flashlight to inspect the
neck of the motorized brush and
inside the air duct at the bottom
of the main body and remove any
debris or blockages.
6 Reattachthemotorizedbrush,
ensuring that it clicks into place.
(fig. 17)
RESTARTING AFTER A JAM
If your motorized brush becomes
jammed, it will cease to operate.
1Turn the unit off and allow it to
cool down for two minutes.
2 Ensurethatnothingisblocking
