This document serves as a Quick Start Guide for the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away vacuum cleaner, providing essential information on its assembly, usage, and maintenance. It is designed to be read in conjunction with the full Shark Owner's Guide.

Function Description

The Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away is a versatile upright vacuum cleaner designed for various cleaning tasks across different floor types. Its primary function is to effectively remove dirt, dust, and debris from both hard floors and carpets. The "Powered Lift-Away" feature allows the user to detach the pod from the nozzle, transforming the upright vacuum into a portable canister-style vacuum, which is ideal for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and other hard-to-reach areas. The "Self-Cleaning Brushroll" is a key innovation, designed to automatically remove hair wrap during operation, reducing the need for manual brushroll maintenance. The vacuum also features adjustable suction control to optimize cleaning performance and maneuverability based on the surface being cleaned.

Usage Features

The vacuum's assembly is straightforward, involving the connection of the main components: the vacuum pod, motorized floor nozzle, handle & hose, and wand. These parts click into place, ensuring a secure fit. Onboard accessories, including a Pet Multi Tool, Pet Power Brush, and Duster Crevice Tool, can be attached to the vacuum for convenient storage and easy access during cleaning.

For upright cleaning, the vacuum offers a "Floor Setting" selector, allowing the user to switch between "Hard Floor" and "Carpet" modes. This adjustment optimizes the brushroll speed and suction for the specific floor type, ensuring effective cleaning without damaging surfaces. The "Suction Control" feature provides further customization, with settings from MIN to MAX. Sliding to MIN increases maneuverability, particularly useful on carpets, while sliding to MAX provides maximum suction for bare floors. The power button is located on the handle for easy on/off operation.

The "Lift-Away" mode is activated by pressing a release button, which detaches the pod from the nozzle. In this portable configuration, accessories can be attached directly to the handle or the wand, extending the reach for above-floor cleaning. The hose clip can be slid into the back of the wand for convenience, keeping the hose tidy during use. For quick cord access, the upper cord hook can be rotated down to release the power cord. When storing the vacuum, the cord can be wrapped around the cord hooks.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance, and the guide highlights several key steps. The dust cup should be emptied after each use to prevent loss of suction and maintain cleaning efficiency. The dust cup features a release mechanism for easy removal and emptying.

Filter maintenance is also emphasized. The foam and felt filters should be rinsed with water every 3 months, while the HEPA filter requires rinsing every year. It is critical to allow all filters to air-dry completely before reinserting them into the vacuum. Tapping loose dirt from the foam filters between washes is recommended to prolong their effectiveness. The guide notes that discoloration of the foam filter over time is normal and does not indicate a problem.

The "Self-Cleaning Brushroll" is designed to minimize maintenance, automatically removing hair wrap. However, if some hair or debris remains after continued use, the brushroll cover can be removed for manual cleaning. This involves using a coin to turn the locks counterclockwise, lifting off the cover, and clearing any blockages from the airway. After cleaning, the cover should be replaced by pressing down firmly on all sides and turning the locks clockwise to secure it.
