SAFETY INFORMATION
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
Always remove battery pack before storing the device. When battery becomes fully charged,
unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack from the charger.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with
hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and
other possible serious injuries.
Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to
clean battery pack.
PROPER CARE FOR BATTERY
Off-season storage
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
• Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80°F and away from moisture.
• Store battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every two months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
CHARGER SAFETY RULES
Charge the mower battery in a dry area that is protected from the weather. Do not expose the
mower or the charger to rain. Do not charge the battery in a wet location. Operate the battery
charger in temperatures between 42.8°F and 104°F. In order to reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only the charger that is provided by the manufacturer to charge the battery.
DO NOT MISUSE THE CHARGE CORD. Never carry the charger by the cord. Do not
disconnect the charger from the outlet or from the mower by pulling the charger cord.
• Do not use a damaged charger. Replace the charger cords or the charger immediately.
Keep the mower and the charger away from water, heat sources (radiators, heaters, stoves,
etc.), ames, and chemicals.
• Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning operation.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work
best at normal room temperature.
When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove
the battery pack.
