Product Features

Crevice Tool

The crevice tool is constructed from high-quality ABS plastic, designed for durability and effective cleaning in narrow spaces. Its slim profile allows it to reach into tight corners, gaps, and crevices where standard vacuum heads cannot.

Dust Brush

The dust brush features premium horsehair bristles, which are soft yet durable. This design allows for gentle cleaning of delicate or uneven surfaces without causing damage. The brush head is designed to rotate freely for versatile use.

Setup: Attaching the Tools

Installing the Crevice Tool or Dust Brush is a straightforward process that does not require additional tools.

1. Identify the Connection Point: Locate the attachment wand or hose on your Shark Navigator Lift-Away vacuum cleaner where accessories are typically connected.
2. Remove Existing Attachment (if any): If another attachment is currently in place, gently twist and pull to remove it.
3. Attach the New Tool: Align the desired Garbage fighter Crevice Tool or Dust Brush with the vacuum's attachment point. Push firmly until it clicks securely into place. The tools are designed for a snug fit to ensure proper suction.

The dust brush features a rotary joint for flexible positioning, and both tools are designed for easy installation and removal.

Operating Instructions

Using the Crevice Tool

The crevice tool is ideal for reaching into tight and confined spaces. Its narrow design allows it to effectively clean:

• Between sofa cushions
• Along baseboards and wall edges
• Inside car interiors
• Window tracks and sills
• Behind radiators or appliances
• Ventilation grilles

Simply guide the narrow end of the tool into the desired area and allow the vacuum's suction to collect dust and debris.

Using the Dust Brush

The dust brush is designed for cleaning surfaces that require a softer touch or have irregular textures. Use it for:

• Upholstery, such as sofas and chairs
• Curtains and drapes
• Lamp shades and light fixtures
• Bookshelves and delicate ornaments
• Pet hair from furniture
• Keyboards and electronics (ensure device is off)

Gently brush the surface with the dust brush, allowing the soft bristles to dislodge dust and the vacuum to suction it away. The rotary joint allows you to adjust the angle for comfortable and effective cleaning.

Maintenance

To ensure the continued effectiveness and hygiene of your Garbage fighter Crevice Tool and Dust Brush, follow these simple maintenance steps:

• Regular Cleaning: After each use, inspect the tools for any trapped debris, hair, or lint. Remove these manually to prevent blockages and maintain optimal airflow.
• Washing: If the tools become visibly dirty, they can be washed with mild soap and lukewarm water. Ensure they are thoroughly rinsed to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Allow the tools to air dry completely before reattaching them to your vacuum cleaner. Do not use heat to dry them, as this may deform the plastic or damage the bristles.
• Storage: Store the tools in a clean, dry place when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and damage.

Troubleshooting

Tool Does Not Fit Securely

If the attachment does not fit securely onto your vacuum's wand or hose, please verify the following:

• Check Compatibility: Double-check that your Shark Navigator Lift-Away model is listed in the compatibility section of this manual. These tools are designed for specific Shark models.
• Proper Alignment: Ensure the tool is correctly aligned with the vacuum's attachment point before pushing it on.
• Firm Connection: Apply firm, even pressure when attaching the tool until it clicks or feels securely seated.
• Inspect for Obstructions: Check both the tool's opening and the vacuum's attachment point for any debris or damage that might prevent a proper fit.

If you continue to experience fitting issues after verifying compatibility and proper installation, please contact customer support.

Reduced Suction

If you notice reduced suction when using the attachments:

• Check for Blockages: Inspect the tool's opening and the vacuum hose for any clogs or obstructions.
• Vacuum Canister/Bag: Ensure your vacuum's dust canister is not full or its bag does not need replacement.
• Vacuum Filter: Check if your vacuum's filters are clean and properly installed.
