Battery Care & Charging
Before charging the battery pack, read all instructions and cautionary markings in
this manual and on your mower. Do not operate your mower until you have read and
understood all instructions and the battery pack has been fully charged.
Battery Pack Victa Enviromower
The battery pack in your Cordless Rechargeable, Battery Powered Mower is composed of two
completely sealed 12V lead acid batteries inside a pack connected serially to a 24V motor. The
battery pack is completely maintenance free. Water never needs to be added. However, as with
all rechargeable batteries, after years of use they will eventually need replacement for optimal
performance. Please refer to Maintenance section of this manual for more information.
Warning! Do not alter the individual batteries in any way, or remove them from the Battery pack.
There are important guidelines with regard to how and when the battery pack should be charged,
and how it should be stored. By following these simple guidelines the life expectancy of the
battery pack will be maximised and your average cost for batteries will be minimised.
Charging Instructions
Before you charge the battery pack:
1. Always charge the battery pack indoors in a garage or other covered area where it will be dry
and protected from the weather and is well ventilated.
2. Only charge the battery pack when the temperature is at least 0°C but not more than 40°C.
Charging in lower & higher temperatures can be harmful to the battery pack.
3. Always keep mower & battery pack away from warmer, heat sources (stoves, radiators, open
flames, etc), and hazardous chemicals.
4. Never attempt to charge your battery pack with a charger other than an Enviromower Cordless
Electric Mower charger. The charger is specifically designed to give optimal performance of
your Cordless Electric Mower’s battery pack. Never use the charger with any other product.
Never operate the charger if it is damaged. If the cord or the charger unit has been damaged
replace it or have it repaired.
Initial Charging
IMPORTANT! The battery pack in your mower has been charged at the
factory. However, you must recharge the battery pack and make sure it is
fully charged before initial operation of the mower. Failure to do so may
cause permanent damage of the battery pack.
Warning: Make sure the electrical power supply is normal household voltage.
(Aust, NZ and UK 240v)
Please Note: Outside Australia, NZ & UK voltage should be checked for compliance with this
product. Plug the charger directly into an electrical outlet. Do not use damaged cords. Never
carry the charger by the cord. Always disconnect the cords from the electrical outlet (wall outlet)
and from the charger by pulling the plug, not the cord.
Before the lawnmower is used. Initially charge the battery for at
least 48 hours on a continuous charge.
BATTERY MUST BE RECHARGED AFTER EACH USE!
A battery will last longer if charged as soon as it is used.
DO NOT DISCHARGE COMPLETELY AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE BATTERY!

Battery Care & Charging
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS connect the charger to the battery pack first,
and then plug it into the wall outlet. When unplugging, ALWAYS
unplug the charger from the wall outlet first, and then disconnect it
from the battery pack.
Note: If an extension cord is used for the charger, use a heavy-duty extension cord (you
should never charge the mower in the open outdoors).
Charging method: 1
Charging with the Battery Pack removed from the Mower
(Remove the safety key first)
• Remove the battery pack from the mower to recharge. Connect the charger plug to the
charger receptacle on the battery pack, (Fig 11a) and then plug the charger into a wall
outlet.
Note: A red light on the battery pack will come on when charger is plugged into the battery.
ALWAYS double check that you have turned on the switch at the wall outlet. The Red light
does not indicate that the power is turned on, it indicates the charger is properly connected
to the battery pack.
• Charging will take at least 48 hours initial charge, after each use 24 hours.
• The charger is always warm to touch during the first 5 hours (approx) of a typical 24 hour
charge cycle. This is normal and not an indication of a problem.
Charging method: 2
Charging with the Battery Pack still in the Mower
(Remove the safety key first)
• Lift the battery cover on the mower. Connect the charger plug to the charger receptacle
on the battery pack (Fig 11b), and then plug the charger into a wall outlet.
Note: A red light on the battery pack will come on when charger is plugged into the battery.
ALWAYS double check that you have turned on the switch at the wall outlet. The Red light
does not indicate that the power is turned on, it indicates the charger is properly connected
to the battery pack.
• Charging will take at least 48 hours initial charge, after each use 24 hours.
• The charger is always warm to touch during the first 5 hours (approx) of a typical 24 hour
charge cycle. This is normal and not an indication of a problem.
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS keep the battery pack in a dry place.
If mower is not in use for a while, it is also recommended to recharge
the battery pack for at least 48 hours once every three months, this
will contribute to a long battery life.
BATTERY MUST BE RECHARGED AFTER EACH USE!
A battery will last longer if charged as soon as it is used.
DO NOT DISCHARGE COMPLETELY AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE BATTERY!
12
Under normal conditions the battery should run for approximately 30 to 50 minutes per
use. The length of time depends on the length, density and dampness of the grass. If you
generally intend to use your mower and trimmer for a long duration Victa recommends that
you purchase an extra battery.
A battery may last much longer if it is charged as soon as it starts to loose power and is not
discharged completely. You should not try to coax a little more out of your battery.

Battery Disposal
Please dispose of used batteries responsibly, according to your
local hazardous materials regulations.
• Do not store the batteries close to a source of heat, sparks, or open flames.
• The ambient temperature must be within -20° C to +40° C temperature range. The lower
the storage temperature is (within this range) the better it is.
• Do not store the batteries in proximity of organic solvents.
• Do not expose the batteries to abnormal shaking or shocks.
• Store the batteries away from children.
• Do not press, bend or use force on the terminals.
• Do not apply heat, such as soldering, to terminals.

a floor that may be subject to accidental flooding, such as in a basement.
• Regularly observe external appearance of the batteries and keep them clean and dry.
Never use battery pack which shows cracks, change of shape, leaks or other obvious
damage.
• During long term storage of batteries that are intended for use in the mower again, recharge
them periodically as recommended in the BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
section.
Eventually, and normally after several years of use, battery replacement will become
necessary. Only use Enviromower batteries . If this is not followed warranty of product
may be affected.
• Never throw away used batteries – take them to a recycling centre.

Cleaning
1. Remove safety Key
2. Clean out any clippings that have accumulated on the underside of the deck and in the
discharge chute. A soft nylon brush or non-metallic scrubbing pad may be used. Do not
use a wire brush. If further cleaning is needed use a damp cloth or sponge, with a mild
soap or detergent. Do not use water or solvents for cleaning.
3. You may use water to clean the grass catcher. It is important for proper grass collection
that the grass bag is clean and that its mesh holes are not clogged. Allow the grass
catcher to dry before use. A wet grass catcher will clog quickly and hamper the grass
collection.
