NOTE: If your motorized brush

becomes jammed, your stick vac will cease to operate. If this occurs, turn the unit “Off” and allow the unit to cool down for 2 minutes. Ensure that there are not any threads or fibers around brush. Then turn the power “On” and unit should now operate normally. Call customer service at 1 (800) 798-7398 if the vacuum needs any other servicing.

To Maximize the Life of your NiCd Batteries NOTE: If the product has never been

used or has been stored for an extended period of time without use – it will take several complete charge and discharge cycles to realize the full operational time of your product.

1. Charge the battery for 24 hours before initial use. Failure to do so will reduce the product’s battery life significantly.

2. Only recharge when the battery is fully discharged (or as close to fully discharged as possible).

3. Do not store in areas of high temperature or humidity.

4. Fully discharge, then completely re-charge the unit at least once a month.

5. After three (3) months of storage, the product should be fully discharged and then recharged to maximize battery power.

6. Use only the charging base and charging adapter supplied with the product. If other chargers are used, the batteries can fail causing damage to the battery, product or personal property.

7. The charging indicator light on the charging base will light up when the battery is inserted to be charged. If the charging indicator does not light, check to make sure that the battery was inserted properly. If it still does not light up, then check the fuse or the breaker.

8. NiCd batteries have a long useful life but at some time they will need to be replaced. To purchase replacement batteries visit www.sharkvac.com.

Replacing the Battery WARNING: NEVER use ordinary

batteries for replacement, as these may leak and damage your vacuum cleaner. Use only battery pack XBT800 provided by EURO-PRO Operating LLC for replacement.
