CARE AND MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
• Remove the battery pack from the unit before storing.
• Clean off all foreign objects from the unit.
• Store it in a place that is inaccessible to children.
• Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
• Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery pack life.
• Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged
condition.
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their
charge.
• If you store your unit for long periods of time without using it, charge the pack as normal every six
months of storage. This practice will prolong battery pack life.
