IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions for Models
CH1800/CH1800-FC that shall be followed during installation and maintenance of the
solar charging adaptor.
 Before using the solar charging adaptor, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the solar charging adaptor, the battery and the product using battery.
WARNING: When using electric appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following.
 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
 To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is
used near children.
 Only use attachments recommended or sold by manufacturer.
 For a portable appliance – To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put
charger in water or other liquid. Do not place or store appliance where or can fall
or be pulled into a tub or sink.
 The solar charging adaptor can only work with 12V Solar Panel with MC4
connectors. Do not exceed 22V input for the solar charging adaptor. Doing so
can cause serious damage to the solar charging adaptor and potential bodily
injury. Check voltages when using third party solar panels with this solar charging
adaptor. Do not chain solar panels in series (positive to negative, positive to
negative, etc.), as this can result in dangerously high voltages.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only EGO 56V lithium-ion
rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or
damage.
 Have your solar charging adaptor serviced by a qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

OPERATION
The solar charging adaptor is designed to be powered by a 12V solar panel with MC4
connectors (not included) and charge the battery pack when no AC power is available
outdoors. It cannot work independently, and must work with the EGO Nexus power
station to charge the battery pack.
WARNING: The solar charging adaptor can only work with 12V Solar Panel with
MC4 connectors. Do not exceed 22V input for the solar charging adaptor. Doing so can
cause serious damage to the solar charging adaptor and potential bodily injury. Check
voltages when using third party solar panels with this solar charging adaptor. Do not
chain solar panels in series (positive to negative, positive to negative, etc.), as this can
result in dangerously high voltages.

1. Connect the solar charging adaptor to the solar panel and the Nexus power
station and make certain that all connections are secure (Fig.2):
a) Solar charging adaptor power cord connecting the solar panel to the solar
charging adaptor;
b) Nexus Power Station power cord connecting the solar charging adaptor to the
Nexus power station;
2. Align the raised ribs of the battery pack with the mounting slot in the Nexus
power station and slide the battery pack down onto the power station. Make sure
that the battery pack is securely attached to the power station.
3. Position the solar panel in direct sunlight. Position the solar charging adaptor out
of direct sunlight. The solar charging adaptor will be powered by the panel and
communicate with the battery pack to evaluate the condition of the battery. When
the battery pack meets the charging conditions, the solar charging adaptor will
begin charging the battery and the green LED indicator will ash.
4. When the battery pack is fully charged, the green LED indicator will stop ashing
and shine solid green.
NOTE:
 Do not position the solar charging adaptor in direct sunlight. The solar charging
adaptor may warm during charging. Move the solar charging adaptor to a well-
ventilated area in the shade.
 If the solar panel is obstructed by obstacles, or the orientation of the solar panel
or the sun changes, the solar charging adaptor may not receive sufcient voltage
and the charging will stop. If the solar charging adaptor input is restored by
removing obstacles or adjusting the solar panel to directly face into the sunlight,
charging will restart in 5 minutes.
