SAFETY INFORMATION
PROPER BATTERY CARE
Off-season storage
To obtain the longest possible battery life, the following is suggested:
• Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and ready for use.
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80°F and away from moisture.
• Store battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every two months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
CHARGER SAFETY RULES
• Charge the mower battery in a dry area that is protected from the weather. Do not expose the
mower or the charger to rain. Do not charge the battery in a wet location. In order to reduce the
risk of electric shock, use only the charger that is provided by the manufacturer to charge the bat-
tery.
• Do not use a damaged charger. Replace the charger cords or the charger immediately.
• Keep the mower and the charger away from water, heat sources (radiators, heaters, stoves, etc.),
flames, and chemicals.
• Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning operation.
• The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem.
• Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best
at normal room temperature.
• When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the
battery pack.
WARNING
When transporting or servicing unit, always remove the battery.
