Before First Use and Tips
• The battery is not fully charged when packed in the carton. Charge the battery for at least
16 hours before first use. See “Charging the Battery”.
Charging the Battery: (Fig. B)
When disconnecting the Scrubber from the charger, be sure to unplug the charger from the
outlet first, then disconnect the charger cord from the Scrubber. The tool can be left on
charge for as long as you desire, a minimum charge of 16 hours is required to recharge a
completely discharged tool.
1. Remove the Charging Port Plug (9) on the end of the handle. Plug in the Output Cord
(10) of the Battery Charger (5) into the socket in the back of the Scrubber.
2. Plug the Battery Charger into a wall plug. The red indicator light on the Battery Charger
will come ON indicating that the battery is charging. This light will remain Red as long as
the unit is connected to the charger. While charging, the Battery Charger may hum and
feel warm to touch. This is normal.
3. If battery does not charge properly:
• check the current at the outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance there to see if it
will work,
• see if the outlet is connected to a wall switch which controls the power,
• move the Battery Charger and battery to a surrounding air temperature of +40°F (5°C)
to 105°F (40°C).
4. After charging replace the Charging Port Plug (9).
5. DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE Scrubber with a depleted battery.
The user should never attempt to remove the Scrubber Handle Cap except to recycle the
Battery. The removal of the Scrubber Handle Cap will affect the operation of the unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
How to Operate the Scrubber: (Fig. C)
To turn ON/ OFF the Scrubber push on and release Switch Button (9).
Always firmly hold the Scrubber by the handle when operating the unit.
IMPORTANT: The Scrubber has been designed for easy, powerful cleaning. If you are
uncertain about its use on a surface, test an attachment on a small inconspicuous area
before cleaning larger areas.
• Always follow manufacturer’s recommendations when using a chemical cleaner such as
sprays, foams, rub-on gels, liquid detergents, or bleach solutions.
• Do not use with abrasive cleaners on any surface or in the unit.
• Always wear rubber gloves and protective eye wear (to avoid splatter) when using irritating
cleaners.
To avoid splatter from a Brush or Pad, turn the Scrubber OFF while the attachment is still
in contact with the surface.
Important:
If some water leaks into the unit, it will not affect performance. However, should the unit
accidentally fall into water without the Charging Port Plug in place, shake out loose liquid
and allow to air dry overnight.
Extension Handle
WARNING:
Always firmly hold the Extension Handle with your two hands
when using the Extension Handle. Never spray towards your face or in the direction of
another person.
Using Extension Handle as a Rinsing Tool: (Fig. F)
With the Extension Handle fully collapsed; submerge the Nozzle in a pail or bathtub
filled with water. Hold the Extension Handle Tube (13) with one hand and at the same time
pull on the Extension Handle Grip (14) with the other hand to draw water into the Extension
Handle. To expel the water out of the Extension Handle, hold the Extension Handle Tube
(13) with one hand and at the same time push on the Extension Handle Grip (14) with the
other hand.
Using Extension Handle to Spray Cleaning Chemical: (Fig. G)
You should always fill and empty the Extension Handle over a sink or bathtub in case of
spillage. Clean exterior of the unit and flush the Extension Handle with clear water before
filling with a different cleaning solution. DO NOT MIX Cleaning Solutions. Read and follow
manufacturer’s instructions on the cleaning product you use.
NOTE! Only fill Extension Handle with “water like” household approved cleaning solutions
that can be used in hand pump dispensers. Do not use cleaners with pine agents or other
oil based products. Other thicker cleaning products such as Gels and Soft Scrubs can be
applied directly to the surface being cleaned from the container they were purchased in but
can not be dispensed from the Extension Handle as they will clog the system.
With the Extension Handle fully extended as shown by the position of the Extension Handle
Piston (15) unscrew the Fill Cap (16) and fill the Extension Handle Tube (13) with the
cleaning chemical of your choice following manufacturer’s instructions. When the unit is
filled to the level you judge appropriate re-screw the Fill Cap (16) in place and hand tighten.
To expel the cleaning chemical out of the Extension Handle hold the Extension Handle
Tube (13) with one hand and at the same time push on the Extension Handle Grip (14) with
the other hand.
Using Extension Handle to Extend Reach: (Fig. H)
Adjust the Extension Handle position by holding the Extension Handle Tube (13) with one
hand and at the same time push or pull the Extension Handle Grip (14) with the other hand
until you reach the desired length. Lock the Extension Handle in position by holding the
Fixed Collar (17) in place with one hand while screwing the Locking Collar (18) with the
other hand following the locking direction shown by the Fixed Collar Arrow. Hand tighten
the Locking Collar (18) and ensure that the Extension Handle Grip (14) can not easily
move from its locked position. Re-tighten Locking Collar (18) if movement occurs. To
change the Extension Handle Grip (14) position; unscrew the Locking Collar (18) and
locate the Extension Handle Grip (14) at the new desired position. Repeat previous steps
to lock the Extension Handle.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning and Storage
NOTE! For best performance, empty and thoroughly rinse the Extension Handle before
storing. Do this by filling the Extension Handle with water and emptying as normal 1 or 2
times. Thoroughly clean the Brushes and/or Scrub Pads after each use.
1. Clean the Brushes and Scrub Pads in a mild detergent, rinse with water and air dry.
2. To clean the Scrubber and Extension Handle, wipe with a damp sponge and a mild soap.
3. Store the Scrubber and attachments/accessories indoors.
Cleaning the Extension Handle Nozzle: (Fig. I)
• Remove the Extension Handle Nozzle (20) by unscrewing it counter clockwise.
• Keep the valve (19) aside for its re-installation later on.
• Soak the Extension Handle Nozzle (20) in a mixture of 1 part vinegar with 3 parts water for
1/2 hour. Make sure the Extension Handle Nozzle holes are clear of deposits. If not,
carefully clear the holes using a fine needle.
• Replace the Valve (19) into the hole in the end of the Extension Handle Clamp (11) with the
male side of the Valve (19) facing the interior of the Extension Handle Clamp (11). Screw
the Nozzle (20) in place and hand tighten.
Reducing Extension Handle Piston Resistance: (Fig. J & Fig. K)
Over time the Extension Handle Piston may not travel as smoothly as when first
used. To remedy to this problem follow the steps below:
1. Remove any liquid present inside the Extension Handle.
2. Using a small flat head screw driver pry out the C-Clip (21).
3. Hold Extension Handle Tube (13) with one hand while pulling Extension Handle Grip (14)
with the other hand until the Extension Handle Tube (13) separates from the rest of the
assembly.
4. Move forward the Extension Handle Piston (15) to lubricate the O-rings (22) using
petroleum jelly.
5. To re-install, insert Extension Handle Piston (15) into the Extension Handle Tube (13).
Note: Do not allow the O-rings to come out of their grooves when inserting the
Extension Handle Piston (15). Damage could occur. Insert the Extension Handle Tube
(13) inside the Fixed Collar (17) until the side slots from the Fix Collar (17) and
Extension Handle Tube (13) aligned. Re-install the C-Clip (21).
6. With the Extension Handle fully extended, verify that Extension Handle Tube (13) is
locked in place by holding the Extension Handle Tube (13) with one hand while pulling
Extension Handle Grip (14) with the other hand. If the Extension Handle Tube (13) does
not move it means that it is secured in place.
