BATTERY USE AND LIABILITY

Thousands of Hammer-Head pool cleaning units are currently in use across the United States and in other parts of
the world. With proper care they will provide years of dependable service. Please review the following safety
information.
WARNING: IMPROPER BATTERY USE OR FAILURE TO INSPECT AND MAINTAIN YOUR 12 VOLT
BATTERY CAN RESULT IN SHORT CIRCUITS, DAMAGE DUE TO OVERHEATING, BATTERY
FAILURE, AND POSSIBLE FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
THE OPERATOR ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND/OR RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF
ANY HAMMER-HEAD PRODUCT, INCLUDING BATTERY SELECTION, INSTALLATION, USE, AND
MAINTENANCE. USE OF ANY POWER SOURCE OTHER THAN A 12 VOLT DEEP CYCLE MARINE
BATTERY IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND CAN VOID ALL WARRANTY OR LIABILITY CLAIMS.
• Wiring connections must be inspected daily. Wires that are hot to the touch indicate a connection problem and
should be repaired. Hammer-Head units that are not working properly should be either repaired immediately or
disconnected from all power sources and removed from service.
• Do not place anything in the battery box that can bridge the terminals on the battery - this can cause direct short
circuits and possible fire or even battery explosion.
• If you reverse the positive and negative wire connections on your battery, the motor will run in reverse and the
vacuum will suck the bag into the propeller. (If you have the HH1062 Smart Switch, the switch will not allow the unit
to run if the wires are reversed).
