INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figures 3 - 5, pages 9 - 10.
WARNING:
Do not open the battery compartment if the vacuum is
wet. Make sure the vacuum is completely dry before
installing, removing, or changing a battery pack. Move
away from pool, spa, or wet areas before opening the
battery compartment.
WARNING:
Do not allow any moisture or water inside the sealed
battery compartment. Pool water is corrosive and will
cause battery damage, smoke/fire, serious personal
injury, and/or property damage if fluid enters the sealed
battery compartment.
 Remove the product from the pool and move away from
the pool area before opening the battery compartment
cover to avoid accidentally dropping the battery pack into
the pool.
 Thoroughly dry all surfaces of the unit before opening
the sealed battery compartment to keep pool water out
of the battery compartment and away from the battery
pack and internal components.
 Make sure your hands are dry before opening the battery
compartment or handling battery packs.
 Do not use the product if the sealed battery compartment
is damaged or the cover is cracked, as this can allow pool
water to enter the battery pack and internal components.
WARNING:
After opening the product, if fluid has entered the sealed
battery compartment and has collected in the bottom of
the battery compartment, immediately discontinue use
and remove the battery pack. See page 3, Important
Safety Instructions, in this manual and follow the instruc-
tions in the WARNING for battery packs exposed to cor-
rosive and conductive liquids.
NOTE: Do not use if sealed battery compartment is damaged
or cover is cracked.
 Set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
 Press down on the tab and unlock the primary and sec-
ondary latches on each side of the battery compartment
and open the compartment.
NOTE: The secondary latch flips outward, away from the
vacuum housing.
 Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
OPERATION
 Close the battery compartment and secure the primary
and secondary latches on both sides.
 To remove the battery, remove the extension handle and
open the battery compartment. Depress the latches on
the battery to remove the battery pack.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the battery pack from
the tool to recharge.

tool on the charger.
 With the battery installed, place the tool on the wall-
mounted charger by aligning the raised ribs on the tool
housing with the grooves on the charger.
