TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR
NI-MH BATTERIES:
1After first use, discharge the unit fully and then
recharge for 6 hours.
2 DO NOT store in areas of high temperature or
humidity.
3After 3 months of non-use, the product should
be fully discharged and then recharged to
maximize battery power.
4Ni-MH batteries have a long useful life but
at some time they will need to be replaced.
To purchase replacement batteries, visit
sharkaccessories.com.
NOTE: The power button must be in the “Off”
position in order to charge the unit. If the

power button once.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
supply when removing the battery. Do not
incinerate batteries or expose to high
temperatures, as they may explode.
23 DO NOT charge the battery at temperature
below 32°F (0°C). This will degrade the
battery performance, shorten life and
cause gas leakage from venting. Optimum
charging efficiancy for the battery is within
temperature range of 50°F (10°C) and 86°F
(30°C).
24 DO NOT charge with the battery polarity
reversed. This will cause battery venting,
swelling or rupture.
25 Leaks from battery cells can occur under
extreme conditions. Improper use of the
battery can cause the safety vent to activate.
Small amounts of liquid (alkaline electrolyte)
will leak from the vent near the terminal. If
the liquid gets on the skin, wash immediately
with soap and water. If the liquid gets into
the eyes, flush them immediately with clean
water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
26 The cordless floor and carpet sweeper must
be disconnected from the power supply when
removing the battery.
27 To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not
put the charger and sweeper body in water
or other liquid. Do not place or store the
appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a
tub or sink.
28 DO NOT charge the unit outdoors.

If the brush roll stops moving, it’s probably
due to the anti-jam feature. This feature
protects the motor from becoming overheated.
If the brush becomes overloaded, it will stop
turning and both speed indicator lights will
stay on. Turn off your unit by pressing the
power button once. See page 9 for instructions
on removing or cleaning the brush roll. Wait
for 10 seconds to let your unit cool down. Now
press the power button again and you’re ready
