Installation Charging

1. The Sweeper-Vac must be turned off
before being recharged.

2. The illuminated red light indicates the
Sweeper-Vac is being recharged. The light
remains on when the unit is fully charged.
The Sweeper-Vac should be left connected
to the charger at all times. The charger
may become warm. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.

3. Always keep the Sweeper-Vac on charge
even when not in use. It may take several
charging cycles before the battery attains
full capacity.

1. Release the dust collector and remove
filter to empty. Clean the filter each time the
dust collector is emptied. (Fig.8)

Instructions For Use

1. Run the battery empty and then recharge
the battery for approximately 15 hours
before using the Sweeper-Vac the first
time.
