BATTERY METER
Since the mower battery is shipped in a low charge
condition, the battery must be charged before use. The
battery has 3 LED lights to indicate battery capacity.
These lights will only illuminate when the light indicator
button is pushed.
If three GREEN lights illuminate, the battery is charged
and ready for use. Two green lights are equal to 25%-
80% charge, while one green light is equal to 5%-25%
charge.
It is recommended to charge battery pack when one (1)
light is illuminated.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The lawn mower comes with maintenance free, sealed
40 volt storage batteries.

Remove the switch key from the mower and store in
a safe location out of the reach of children.

Charge the battery pack only with the charger
provided.

Allow at least two (2) hours of charge time before
initial use of the mower.

Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, 60Hz, AC only.

The battery should be charged in a cool, dry place.

To improve battery life, store battery indoors in a
comtrolled climate. Fully charge battery pack every
3 months.

Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does
not have to be fully discharged before recharging.

2 to 3 initial charging/discharging cycles may be
required to achieve maximum run time/capacity.

When fully charge, the battery can be safely stored in
temperatures down to –4 (-20 ) for a period of up
to one month before requiring charging. Fully
charge battery pack every 3 months.

The battery charger should be operated in
temperatures between 0 and 113
45 ).
TO CHARGE

Insert the 120 volt plug of the charger into the wall
receptacle. The top green light will illuminate and
stay green. See figure 7.
OPERATION


NOTE: Typical time required to reach a full charge:
2Ah battery- 60 minutes; 4Ah- 2 hours.

NOTE: If the top light remains green while the bottom
light alternately flashes red and green, this indicates a
temperature abnormality (i.e. that the battery pack is
either too hot or too cold). If there is only a red blinking
light, this indicates that something is wrong with the
battery. Contact Earthwise customer service center at
