ASSEMBLING THE CHARGING BASE
1   Insert the charge adapter plug through the hole in the underside of the charging base / wall mounting 

bracket.

2   Turn the charge adapter plug one quarter turn to secure it into place.

CHARGING YOUR HAND VACUUM
3   Plug the charger into the wall outlet.  Place the unit in the charging base.  The charging 

indicator light will illuminate to show that the vacuum is being charged. 

4   Before first using the hand vacuum, make sure that the On/Off switch is in the “Off” position and charge 

it for 7 - 8 hours.

5   After the initial charge, the charge time is 8 hours.
6   Always unplug the unit when the charge time is complete.

MAXIMIZING THE LIFE OF YOUR NI-CD BATTERY
7   Charge for 7 - 8 hours before initial use.  Failure to do so will reduce the product’s battery life 

significantly.

8   After first use, discharge the unit fully and then recharge for 8 hours.
9   Always remove the unit from the charger after the charging light has turned off when the battery is fully 

charged (max 8 hrs.).

10   For maximum battery life, only recharge the unit when the batteries are close to fully discharged. It is 

best to fully discharge the batteries at least once a month.

11  Do not store the unit with the charging adapter attached and plugged in.
12
   Do not store in areas of high temperature or humidity.
13   Use only the charger supplied with the product.  If other chargers are used, the batteries can fail causing 

damage to the battery, product or personal property. 

14   After 3 months of non-use, the product should be fully discharged and then recharged to maximize 

battery power.

15   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. 

16   Ni-Cd batteries have a long useful life but at some time they will need to be replaced.  To purchase 

replacement batteries, visit www.sharkclean.com.

ASSEMBLY OF THE HAND VACUUM

17   Push the dust cup release button and remove the dust cup.
18   Verify that the dust cup filter is inside, then reattach the dust cup to the hand vacuum.
19   The motorized brush can be used to vacuum short pile carpets or rugs.  To attach the motorized brush, 

make sure the On/Off switch is in the Off position.  Then firmly insert the motorized brush into the air-
intake nozzle, ensuring that the contact pins are engaged in the connector slots of the unit.

WARNING: Do not touch the motorized brush while it is in motion.

furniture, venetian blinds, books, lamp shades and shelves.  Attach the desired attachment by pushing it 
into the air-intake nozzle.

CHARGING BASE / WALL MOUNTING BRACKET
26   If you wish to mount the charging base onto a wall, make sure that the intended wall area that is to be 

drilled is free from any hidden electrical wires, water pipes and gas lines.

direct sunlight, near a heat source or outdoors.

28   Select an appropriate drill type for the material to be drilled.
