Set-Up
Charging the Battery
WARNING:
The battery contains corrosive fluid
and toxic material - HANDLE WITH CARE. Keep away
from children. Do not puncture, disassemble,
mutilate, or incinerate. Explosive gases could be
vented during charging or discharging. Use in a well
ventilated area, away from sources of ignition.
Charge the mower for 14 hours before initial use. Charge
mower indoors in a dry area out of the weather. DO NOT charge
in rain or wet locations.
IMPORTANT: Use only the battery charger provided with this
mower.
Plug the battery charger into the battery first, and then into any
standard 110/120 volt household electrical outlet. See Fig. 3-9 for
battery charging location.
Figure 3-9
NOTE: If an extension cord is required, use one that is at least
wire size 16 AWG. Connect the extension cord to charger before
plugging extension cord into electrical outlet.
NOTE: You may charge the battery with the battery removed
from the mower.
IMPORTANT: Always recharge battery fully. It takes 14 hours to
recharge a completely discharged battery. A flashing light on
the battery charger indicates the battery is less than 80 percent
charged; a solid green light indicates the battery is 80 to 100
percent charged. A full charge will be achieved in less than 14
hours if the batteries were only partially discharged.
NOTE: It is recommended that the mower be charged once every
two months during storage.
IMPORTANT: Always disconnect battery charger (or extension
cord, if used) from the electrical outlet first, then disconnect
battery charger from battery.
NOTE: It is recommended that the mower be charged
immediately after it has been discharged. Storing batteries in a
discharged state could reduce future performance.
