If your battery pack is exposed to a corrosive or conductive fluid, do not attempt to use or charge the battery pack and immediately perform the following steps:
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and rubber gloves.
• Place your exposed battery pack in a large bucket, such as a 5 gallon or similar bucket, and fill the bucket with regular tap water. Do not place more than two packs in the bucket.
• Locate the bucket outdoors in an area inaccessible to children and pets and away from all buildings, ga- rages/sheds, structures, vehicles, and combustible/ flammable materials.
• Leave the battery pack(s) in the bucket filled with tap water and call Customer Service at 1-800-406-2005 for additional instructions on the proper disposal of the exposed battery pack(s).
- Remove battery when the vacuum is not in use and before servicing.
- Use battery only with charger listed. For use with Hoover ONEPWR Lithium Ion Batteries, see page 7 for battery and charger compatibility.
- Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Do not use charger outdoors.
