Charging the Batteries
Make sure the ignition key is in the off position
Plug the charger’s round plug into the Mating Plug on the machine. NOTE: It
will only fit ONE way.
Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. The RED light on the Battery
charger will light up indicating a connection between the Battery and Charger.
NOTE: A full charge takes approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) hours. When battery is fully
charged the RED light on the charger will switch to GREEN.
Disconnecting the Charger
Remember to disconnect the charger from the machine using this sequence:
1. Pull the plug from the charger out of the wall outlet.
2. Disconnect the charger from the machine.
Warning!
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE CHARGER FROM THE ELECTRICAL
(WALL) OUTLET FIRST, AND THEN DISCONNECT THE ROUND
CHARGER PLUG FROM THE MACHINE. IF YOU REMOVE THE ROUND
CHARGER PLUG FIRST, THE EXPOSED CONNECTOR COULD BE
ACCIDENTALLY SHORT-CIRCUITED BY FOREIGN MATERIAL, WHICH
MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE.
RECHARGING OF THE MOWER
Fully charge the battery after draining fully. We suggest charging during off peak hours.
This is important in order to maintain maximum mower performance and extend the
useful life of the Battery. Each charge cycle is counted when the battery is charged. To
achieve optimal life the battery should have the majority of use (power drained) before
recharging.
