WARNING!
Battery and Charging Safety:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, battery explosion, or injury:
1. Use only Tornado charger X1194 and Tornado battery pack X1200
2. DO NOT expose battery packs to temperatures above 122°F (50°C). Never leave battery packs in automo-
biles on hot days, where temperatures can be much higher than the outside temperature.
3. DO NOT use or store vacuum or batteries in wet or moist conditions, or with flammable or combustible ma-
terials.
4. DO NOT charge batteries or store battery for extended periods,1 month or more, in temperatures above 90°F
(32°C) or below 40°F (5°C).
5. When charging, make sure that the charger has at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides. Adequate airflow is
required to cool the charger when in use.
6. Connect charging cord to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
7. DO NOT use a damaged cord or plug for charging.
8. DO NOT pull on charger's cord to unplug. Grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
9. DO NOT handle the charger's cord plug with wet hands when inserting into electrical outlet.
10. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries.
11. DO NOT smoke near batteries or charger.
12. DO NOT charge the unit outdoors.
13. DO NOT attempt to repair, service, or modify the battery system or charger. Contact Tornado Customer
Service with any issues.
14. DO NOT short-circuit the battery or charger terminals with conductive items such as paper clips. This can
deliver high current, resulting in heat and fire.
15. DO NOT crush, drop, incinerate or damage the battery pack.
16. DO NOT use a battery pack that has been damaged in any way.
17. DO NOT incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged or nonworking. The battery can explode in a
fire.
To avoid damage to the battery contacts, turn off power switch before reconnecting the battery. Battery must be
fully engaged to insure proper electrical connection.
INSTALLING BATTERY PACK INTO VACUUM
1. Holding battery by the front, carefully slide the
battery into the lower housing until it clicks in
place (Fig. 1).
2. Connector is spring-loaded. Battery will need
to be pushed fully into position.
