1. To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse
your battery pack or charger in liquid or allow any liquid to
flow inside these components.
2. Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and
electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air.
3. Use only a soft, clean and dry brush to clean the battery
pack and charger, keeping away from all electrical
contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful
to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these
include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable
or combustible solvents around battery packs, battery
chargers or tools.
Storage
1. Examine the cordless wet/dry vacuum thoroughly for
worn, loose or damaged parts. Should you need to repair
or replace a part, contact an authorized Snow Joe

customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563) for assistance.
2.
Examine the filters thoroughly for signs of excess wear
or damage. If they are worn or damaged, replace them
immediately.
3. Store the wet/dry vacuum indoors in a clean, dry and
locked location out of the reach of children and animals.
4. When not in use, the equipped tubes, handles and nozzles
can be temporarily stored on the casters of the unit as
shown (Fig. 24).
B Charger Off-Season Storage
1. Do not expose your battery pack or charger to water,
rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently
damage the charger and the battery pack. Do not use oil
or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery pack as the
plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a
serious risk of injury.
2. Store the battery pack and charger at room temperature
away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery
pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack
is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures
(over 120ºF/49ºC).
3. iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery packs maintain their charge
during storage longer than other battery pack types. As a
general practice, it is best to unplug the battery charger
and disconnect the battery pack when they are not in use.
Recharge the battery pack every
6 months to 50% capacity (2 lights on) during off-season
storage to maintain optimal battery performance.
