Function Description

The Shark® Rocket® Pet Pro PowerFins Cordless Vacuum is designed for versatile cleaning across various surfaces, from bare floors to carpets. It features a cordless design for unrestricted movement and a powerful motor to effectively pick up dirt, debris, and pet hair. The vacuum can be used as an upright stick vacuum for floor cleaning or converted into a handheld vacuum for above-floor tasks and cleaning tight spaces. Its PowerFins™ floor nozzle is engineered to provide continuous cleaning contact with carpets and hard floors, preventing hair wrap and ensuring thorough pickup. The vacuum incorporates a multi-stage filtration system, including a HEPA post-motor filter, to capture allergens and fine dust, promoting cleaner air in your home.

Usage Features

Versatile Cleaning Modes:

The vacuum offers multiple configurations to suit different cleaning needs:

Upright Stick Vacuum: For general floor cleaning, the vacuum is used in its assembled upright form. To engage the brushroll, the handle must be tilted back while your foot is on the floor nozzle.
Above-Floor Cleaning with Wand: For reaching high areas or under furniture, the wand can be detached from the floor nozzle. To do this, stand the vacuum upright, press the Nozzle Release button at the bottom of the wand, and pull the wand up. Cleaning accessories can then be attached to the end of the wand.
Handheld Vacuum: For detailed cleaning of upholstery, stairs, or car interiors, the handheld vacuum can be detached from the wand. This is achieved by pressing the Wand Release button and lifting the handheld vacuum off the wand. Once detached, cleaning accessories can be directly attached to the handheld unit.

Power Settings:

The vacuum provides distinct power settings accessible via a slide switch on the handheld unit:

OFF: Turns off the vacuum.
Bare Floor/Area Rugs (Standard Mode): This setting is for cleaning bare floors and small area rugs. The brushroll spins slowly to effectively pick up debris without scattering it.
Carpet (Standard Mode): Designed for carpets, this setting makes the brushroll spin faster to pick up debris embedded below the surface of carpets.
Boost Mode: For an extra burst of power, especially for stubborn dirt or deep cleaning, pull the trigger on the handheld vacuum while in the Carpet setting. Releasing the trigger returns the vacuum to the standard Carpet power. It is recommended to use the Carpet setting and Boost mode for deep cleaning embedded dirt in carpets.

Battery System:

The vacuum is powered by a removable Li-Ion battery, which comes pre-installed.

Insertion: To insert the battery, slide it into the slot at the back of the handheld vacuum until it clicks into place.
Removal: To remove the battery, press and hold the Battery Release Button located on the handheld unit, then slide the battery out.
Battery Indicator Lights: The handheld vacuum features battery indicator lights that show the current charge level during use and charging.
- In Use: Lights indicate Full, Mid, Low, Nearly Empty, or No Charge.
- Charging: Lights indicate Full, Mid, Nearly Full, or Full Charge.
Charging Time: A full charge typically takes approximately 3 hours. The battery can be charged while it is in the vacuum or when removed.

Cleaning Accessories:

The vacuum includes several accessories to enhance its versatility:

Crevice Tool: For reaching into narrow spaces and corners.
Dusting Brush: For gently cleaning delicate surfaces.
Pet Multi-Tool: A versatile tool designed for picking up pet hair and debris from various surfaces.
Anti-Allergen Brush: Specifically designed to remove allergens from surfaces.
Wand w/Handheld Storage Clip: Allows for convenient storage of the handheld vacuum on the wand.

Specific instructions for filter cleaning and replacement are detailed in the enclosed Owner's Guide.
