Important Safety Instructions for the Battery And Charger

• Do not charge a battery if it is wet or shows any evidence of corrosion.

• Do not incinerate the battery. It can explode in a fire. A small leakage from the battery cell may occur under extreme usage, charging, or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin: Wash quickly with soap and water or neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar, if the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention. NOTE: The liquid is a 20-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

• Do not use an extension cord. Plug the Charger directly into an electrical outlet.

• Use the Charger only in a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz).

• Do not attempt to use this charger with any other product; do not attempt to charge this product with any other charger. Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to recharge.

• Do not use Charger in wet or damp conditions. It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use the Charger near sinks, or tubs. Do not immerse in water.

• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The Charger should be placed away from sinks and hot surfaces.

• Do not operate Charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.

• Do not operate Charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Return the appliance to any authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Do not disassemble Charger.

• For best results, do not charge a battery when it or air temperature is BELOW 40°F (5°C) or above 105°F (40°C).

• Unplug the Charger when not in use and before cleaning or maintenance.

• Do not abuse the cord. To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, never carry the Charger by its cord or yank the cord to disconnect; instead, grasp the Charger plug and pull to disconnect. Keep Charger cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

This light will remain Red as long as the unit is connected to the charger. While charging, the Battery Charger may hum and feel warm to touch. This is normal.

3. If battery does not charge properly:

• check the current at the outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance there to see if it

will work,

• see if the outlet is connected to a wall switch which controls the power,

• move the Battery Charger and battery to a surrounding air temperature of +40°F (5°C)

to 105°F (40°C).

4. After charging replace the Charging Port Plug (9).

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and Storage

NOTE! For best performance, empty and thoroughly rinse the Extension Handle before

storing. Do this by filling the Extension Handle with water and emptying as normal 1 or 2 times. Thoroughly clean the Brushes and/or Scrub Pads after each use.

1. Clean the Brushes and Scrub Pads in a mild detergent, rinse with water and air dry.

2. To clean the Scrubber and Extension Handle, wipe with a damp sponge and a mild soap.

3. Store the Scrubber and attachments/accessories indoors.

Cleaning the Extension Handle Nozzle: (Fig. I)

• Remove the Extension Handle Nozzle (20) by unscrewing it counter clockwise.

• Keep the valve (19) aside for its re-installation later on.

• Soak the Extension Handle Nozzle (20) in a mixture of 1 part vinegar with 3 parts water for 1/2 hour. Make sure the Extension Handle Nozzle holes are clear of deposits. If not, carefully clear the holes using a fine needle.

• Replace the Valve (19) into the hole in the end of the Extension Handle Clamp (11) with the male side of the Valve (19) facing the interior of the Extension Handle Clamp (11). Screw the Nozzle (20) in place and hand tighten.

Reducing Extension Handle Piston Resistance: (Fig. J & Fig. K)

Over time the Extension Handle Piston may not travel as smoothly as when first used. To remedy to this problem follow the steps below:

2. Using a small flat head screw driver pry out the C-Clip (21).

3. Hold Extension Handle Tube (13) with one hand while pulling Extension Handle Grip (14)

with the other hand until the Extension Handle Tube (13) separates from the rest of the assembly.

4. Move forward the Extension Handle Piston (15) to lubricate the O-rings (22) using

petroleum jelly.

5. To re-install, insert Extension Handle Piston (15) into the Extension Handle Tube (13).

Note: Do not allow the O-rings to come out of their grooves when inserting the Extension Handle Piston (15). Damage could occur. Insert the Extension Handle Tube (13) inside the Fixed Collar (17) until the side slots from the Fix Collar (17) and Extension Handle Tube (13) aligned. Re-install the C-Clip (21).
