BATTERY PACK REPLACEMENT & DISPOSAL

WARNING: The Cordless vacuum is powered by NiMh batteries, which must be recycled or disposed of properly in accordance with state, federal and local laws.

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

WARNING: Never use ordinary batteries for replacement as these may leak and damage your vacuum. Use only the battery pack provided by SharkNinja for replacement.

WARNING: Do not store or charge in areas of high temperature or humidity.

MAXIMIZING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY

1 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 one half of the oval blue light around the power button ﬂashes, 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 because the charger monitors battery properties to extend battery life. The entire oval LED light around the power button will ﬂash every 2 seconds while the unit is charging. When the charge is complete, one half of the oval will ﬂash every 2 seconds.

3 The precision charger monitors the batteries so you don’t

have to. Leaving the unit charging 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 Use only the charge adapter supplied with this unit, marked

with “For SV1112 series models only”. If other chargers are used, the battery can fail, causing damage to the battery, to the vacuum, or to personal property.

1-800-798-7398

STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3

Push the connector

terminals together until they lock into place.

Place the new battery

pack into the battery compartment, taking care to tuck the wiring completely so that it does not interfere with the battery access door.

Place the battery door

onto the bottom of the nozzle, slide it back into place and move the sliding tab next to the door to the lock position.
