IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BATTERY AND CHARGER
Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed
metal end (Fig. 1). Do not place battery in aprons, pockets, drawers,
etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without protective battery cap.
The battery could short circuit causing fire, personal injury, or damage
to the battery.
A red battery cap is provided for use when carrying the battery or
while battery is stored in a pocket, etc. Remove cap before placing
battery in charger or Scrubber (Fig. 2).
Never attempt to open the battery for any reason. If the housing of
the battery breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
Do not charge a battery if it is wet or shows any evidence of corrosion.
Do not incinerate the battery. It can explode in a fire. A small leakage from the battery cell
may occur under extreme usage, charging, or temperature conditions. This does not
indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
(1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice
or vinegar, (3) if the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a
minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention.
NOTE: The liquid is a 20-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
Do not use an extension cord. Plug the Charger directly into an electrical outlet.
Use the Charger only in a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz).
Charge the battery only with a VersaPak ® Battery Charger.
Do not use Charger in wet or damp conditions. It is intended for indoor use only. Do not
use the Charger near sinks, or tubs. Do not immerse in water.
Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot
surfaces. The Charger should be placed or mounted away from sinks and hot
surfaces.
Do not use Charger for any uses other than charging VersaPak ® batteries. Other batter
may
explode.
Do not operate Charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.

above 105°F (40°C).
Unplug the Charger when not in use and before cleaning or maintenance.
Do not abuse the cord. To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, never
carry the Charger by its cord or yank the cord to disconnect; instead, grasp the Charger
plug and pull to disconnect. Keep Charger cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR VP131 CHARGER

How To Use
BEFORE FIRST USE AND TIPS
• The VersaPak ® battery stick is not fully charged when packed in the carton. Charge the
battery in the Charger unit for at least 6 hours before first use. See "Charging the Battery".
• Be sure a VersaPak ® battery is installed before using the Scrubber and the Battery Cover
is snapped firmly in place.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
If your battery arrives with a protective red cap already in place, be sure to remove the cap by
simply pulling it off before attempting to charge the battery.
1. Plug in the Charger and insert the metal end of the battery into the Charger (See 5 & 6 in
call out illustration).
2. An indicator light will come on to show that the battery is charging and will remain lit as
long as the battery is in the Charger. If this is your first use, let the battery charge for 6
hours. After normal usage, your battery should be fully charged in 3 hours or less. If the
battery is completely run down, you may have to charge it for up to 6 hours again.
3. While charging, the Charger may hum and feel warm to touch. This is normal.
4. If a battery does not charge properly:
• check the current at the outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance there to see
if it will work,
• see if the outlet is connected to a wall switch which controls the power,
• move the Charger and battery to a surrounding air temperature of +40°F (5°C) to
105°F (40°C).
5. The battery should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power to clean.
Typically, run time will be approximately 30 minutes, depending on use. DO NOT
CONTINUE TO USE THE SCRUBBER with a depleted battery.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY - FIG.
1. To install a battery, be sure you have removed the red protective cap by pulling it off. Keep
the cap for use when storing the battery outside of the Charger (in a drawer, etc.).
2. Remove the Battery Cover by twisting and pulling it off. Slide the battery—metal side first—
all the way into the unit. Replace the battery cover by fitting it over the end of the battery
and pushing down until it snaps into place. (A)
3. To remove the battery, take off the Battery Cover and pull the battery stick out.
IMPORTANT: If some water leaks into the unit, it will not affect performance.
However, should the unit or battery accidentally fall into water without the Battery
Cover in place, shake out loose liquid and allow to air dry overnight.
