CARE OF YOUR FREEWAY LITE

Your Freeway Lite, battery pack and power pack can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth. The storage tray can be removed for cleaning by lifting the Freeway Lite unit out of the bag and pulling the tray out from under the lip at the top of the bag. The storage tray can then be washed thoroughly in warm soapy water.

NOTE: You must ensure that the tray is totally dry before replacing it in the carrying case.

The carrying case can be machine washed (30oC) and tumble dried at low tempera- ture settings.

DO NOT wipe the inlet filter or battery connections.
