FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety
precautions should always be observed, including the

following:

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR

INJURY:
1 DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
2 Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before

servicing.

3 DO NOT use vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug.

If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water,
return it to SharkNinja Operating LLC for examination,
repair, or adjustment.

4 DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use the

cord as a handle.

5 DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord; to unplug, grasp the

plug, not the cord.
6 DO NOT handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
7 DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the power cord, close

a door on the cord or pull cord around sharp corners.

8 The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
9 DO NOT leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in.
10 Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
11 Turn off all controls before plugging or unplugging the

vacuum cleaner.
12 Always turn off the vacuum cleaner before connecting or

disconnecting motorized nozzle.
13 Store your vacuum cleaner with the power cord secured

around the two cord holders - as shown in the storage

instructions.

GENERAL USE

14 Use only as described in this manual.

15 DO NOT put any objects into openings. DO NOT use with

any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and

anything that may reduce air flow.
16 Keep your work area well lit.
17 Keep the vacuum cleaner moving over the carpet surface at

all times to avoid damaging the carpet fibers.
18 DO NOT place vacuum cleaner on unstable surfaces such

as chairs or tables.

19 DO NOT allow young children to operate the vacuum

cleaner or use as a toy. Close attention is necessary when
used near children.

20 DO NOT use without dust cup and/or filters in place.

HOSE ATTACHMENTS

21 DO NOT use if air flow is restricted; if the air paths, the

hose, or the accessories become blocked, turn the vacuum
cleaner off. Remove all obstructions before you turn on the
unit again.

22 Keep the end of the hose and accessory openings away

from face and body.

23 Keep cleaning tools and hose suction openings away from

hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet, or loose clothing.

24 Only use manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

DUST CUP/FILTERS/ACCESSORIES

Before turning on the vacuum:
25 Make sure that all filters are thoroughly dry after routine

cleaning.

26 Make sure that dust cup and all filters are in place after

routine maintenance.

27 Make sure accessories are free of blockages.
28 Only use filters and accessories provided by SharkNinja

Operating LLC. [Failure to do so will void the warranty.]

GENERAL CLEANING

29 DO NOT pick up large-sized objects.
30 DO NOT pick up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails,

screws or coins that could damage the vacuum cleaner.

31 DO NOT pick up smoking or burning objects such as hot

coals, cigarette butts, fireplace ash or matches.

32 DO NOT use to pick up drywall dust.
33 DO NOT pick up flammable or combustible materials such

as lighter fluid, gasoline, or kerosene or use vacuum in
areas where they may be present.

34 DO NOT pick up toxic solutions such as chlorine bleach,

ammonia, or drain cleaner.

35 DO NOT use in an enclosed space where vapors are pres-

ent from paint, paint thinner, moth-proofing substances,
flammable dust or other explosive or toxic materials.

36 DO NOT vacuum up any liquids.
37 DO NOT immerse vacuum cleaner in water or other liquids.
38 DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces; use only on dry

surfaces.

39 Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner 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.

SURFACE SELECTOR

2 Selecting the Hard Floor setting will stop the brushroll from spinning and allow you to clean bare floor and above floor

surfaces with ease. Thick Carpet/Area Rug and Carpet/Low Pile settings refer to the strength of the suction power. “Carpet/
Low Pile” is the default carpet setting and gives you the greatest suction and deep cleaning power. “Thick Carpet/Area Rug”
deep cleans higher pile, thicker carpets, specialty carpets, and area rugs with less suction. If the vacuum is difficult to push
or pull on certain carpets or area rugs, you can either disengage the brush roll and use the suction only setting or switch the
surface selector to Thick Carpet/Area Rug mode.

NOTE: For deep cleaning per ASTM F 608 (embedded dirt in carpets) please set to CARPET/LOW PILE.

Vacuum is not picking up dirt. No suction or light suction

• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and drying the filters before re-inserting back into the

vacuum.

• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.

Brush roll does not spin

• Pull the handle toward you and release the floor nozzle to disengage the auto-off feature.

• Make sure that the carpet height selector is not on the HARD FLOOR setting.

• If the hose connection is not properly latched, it can cause a poor electrical connection and the hose can come loose and power

vacuum OFF.

1. Turn the unit off; unplug the vacuum.

2. Empty the dust cup and clean filters.

3. Check for blockages in hose, accessories and inlet openings.

4. Remove cord from cord hook so hose latch can be seen and engaged. Reassemble.

5. Ensure hose latch makes an audible “click” where the hose meets the back of the vacuum. Also, make sure the hose latch
