With upper handle button towards the back of the cleaner,
push the upper handle into the lower handle until button
snaps into position (Fig.3/1).
4. Charging

With switch in OFF position, plug charger into 230/240
volt electrical outlet.
Firmly press charger end into cleaner receptacle located on
the side of the handle. Press firmly on cleaner to ensure
that end of cord is fully connected. Your cleaner will begin
charging. It is designed to be stored on charge and ready
for use at all times (Fig.4/1).
Charge batteries for 16 hours before initial use. If
performance drops to an unacceptable level during
cleaning, refer to the problem chart in Troubleshooting
section.
NOTE: It is normal for the charger to feel warm when
the battery is charging. Never charge batteries in
temperatures above 37.8ºC or below 0ºC.
NOTE: Charging light illuminates when cleaner is
charging.
NOTE: The cleaner can be on a constant charge so it is
always ready for use.
Make sure it is in OFF position before charging. However, if
the cleaner will not be used for several weeks at a time,
unplugging it is recommended.

Push on/off switch down to ON position and lower handle
to operating position to turn the unit on. For convenience,
the unit will stop running when the handle is placed in the
upright position (Fig.5/1).
When cleaning is finished, it is recommended that the
switch be turned to the OFF position for storage.
