3 This unit is equipped with a

precision charger that monitors
the batteries to ensure a full
charge for every use and to extend
the life of the batteries. Depending
on usage, the time for a full
charge is 4 to 7 hours.

4 One half of the blue LED light

around the power button will
illuminate while the unit is
charging. When the charge is
complete, the complete oval will
be illuminated. (fig. 4)

If the charging light does not

illuminate, ensure that the
charging adapter is plugged
in properly to the wall outlet
and to the back of the charging
base. Also ensure that the
unit is properly seated in the
charging base.

• Lightly press the power button

on the motorized floor brush
with your foot to turn the
vacuum on to a high speed
optimized for carpet cleaning.

MAXIMIZING THE LIFE OF YOUR
BATTERY

1 To 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,
charge the unit until the complete
oval around the power button is
illuminated, indicating a full charge.

2 Charge the vacuum for 7 hours

before initial use. After initial use,
each recharge will take 4 to 7 hours.
A complete oval around the power
button will illuminate when the charge
is complete.

3 The precision charger monitors the

batteries so you don’t have to. A
complete charge can take as little as
4 hours, but may take up to 7 hours
because the charger monitors battery
properties to extend batter y life.
Leaving the unit in the charger 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.

5 Do not store or charge in areas of high

temperature or humidity.

6 Use only the charge adapter supplied

with this unit, marked with “For
SV1106 Model Only”. If other chargers
are used, the battery can fail causing
damage to the battery, to the vacuum,
or to personal property.

Call customer service at 1 [phone] or visit our web site at www.sharkclean.com to order a replacement battery pack.

On this setting, the vacuum
will run for approximately 12
minutes.

• Press the button again to switch
to a lower speed optimized for
bare floor cleaning. On this
setting the vacuum will run for
approximately 17 minutes. The
LED lights around the power
button will indicate your speed.

• Press the button again to turn
the unit off.

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.

1 Charge the vacuum for a minimum of 7

hours.

2 Run the vacuum until it turns itself off.

3 Charge the vacuum for a minimum of 7

hours.

BATTERY REMOVAL, REPLACEMENT
AND DISPOSAL

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 as to how to remove the battery
pack, we suggest that you take your
vacuum to a reputable small appliance
service technician to have this service
performed.
