IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Household Use Only

WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE,
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE OBSERVED, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
YOUR SHARK NAVIGATOR® LIFT-AWAY® PRO.

POLARIZED PLUG:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature, this
plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into

outlet or try to modify to fit.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

electric shock or injury, do not use outdoors
or on wet surfaces.
