IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Battery and Charging Safety:
WARNING
17. Be aware of the hazardous voltages that exist within enclosure. Installation, replace-
ment, and service should be performed only by trained service personnel.
18. BE AWARE OF THE RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. DO NOT block ventilation ports
on unit. DO NOT charge the unit near open flame sources. Small amounts of explosive
hydrogen gas are ordinarily generated during charging of all lead acid batteries, such as
used in this vacuum. The batteries specified for this equipment minimize the gases pro-
duced, and the enclosure is designed for proper ventilation of the gases. Disconnect
cord when charging is complete.
19. DO NOT expose or store unit (batteries) in temperatures above 122ºF (50ºC)
20. Unplug charging cord from unit before servicing.
21. Connect charging cord to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
22. DO NOT use a damaged cord or plug for charging.
23. DO NOT pull the vacuum by the charging cord or use the cord as a handle. DO NOT
close a door on the cord or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. DO NOT run
over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
24. DO NOT pull on the cord to unplug. Grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
25. DO NOT handle the cord plug with wet hands when inserting into electrical outlet.
26. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries. DO NOT smoke near batteries or charger.
27. DO NOT charge the unit outdoors.
28. DO NOT attempt to repair, service, or modify the battery system or charger. Take it to
an authorized ProTeam Warranty Station for inspection and repair.
29. Risk of battery terminal shorting. The batteries specified for use in this equipment have
very low internal impedance and thus are capable of delivering high currents if exter-
nally short-circuited. The resultant heat can cause severe burns and is a potential fire
hazard.
30. Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working near batteries.
Remove all jewelry. DO NOT put tools or other metal across the battery terminals, or
the tops of the batteries.

Violation of any of these instructions may void any and all warranties.
