IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RE-
CHARGING HOT BATTERIES
When using your hand vac continuously, the batteries in
your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot
battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes be-
fore attempting to recharge.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
your hand vac causes the batteries to become hot. It
does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to
“Charging Your Hand Vac” for normal recharging of bat-
teries. If the charger/charging assembly does not charge
your battery pack under normal circumstances, return
both the battery pack and charger/charging assembly to
your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for elec-
trical check.
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3.
■ Place the battery pack in your hand vac. Align raised
rib on battery pack with groove in hand vac’s battery
port.
■ Make sure the latches on each side of the battery
pack snap in place and that battery pack is secured
in hand vac before beginning operation.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3.
■ Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress
both sides to release the battery pack from the hand
Vac.
CAUTION:
When placing battery pack in your hand vac, be sure
raised rib on battery pack aligns with groove in hand
vac's battery port and latches snap in place properly.
Improper assembly of battery pack can cause
damage to internal components.
