Battery Charging Instructions
!
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 battery pack(s) indoors or in a dry area
out of the weather. Use only the battery charger
provided with the mower (Briggs & Stratton part
number 497400). First plug the battery charger lead
into the battery
(Figure 10)
, then plug the charger
into any standard 110/120 volt household electrical
outlet. If you have a dual or "Y" lead, you can use
the other lead to charge another battery pack at the
same time, though charging will take longer
(Figure
11).
If an extension cord is required, use one rated for
outdoor use that is at least wire size 16 AWG.
Connect the extension cord to the charger before
plugging the extension cord into the electrical
outlet. Make sure to recharge the battery packs
fully when your finished using the mower. It takes
at least 16 hours to recharge a completely
discharged battery, and at least 24 hours to recharge
two battery packs at once. The red light on the
battery charger indicates that the battery charger is
plugged into an electrical outlet; the green light
indicates that the battery is fully charged.
The battery should be charged every 30 to 60 days
if the mower is not used. Charge the battery for a
maximum of 48 hours only.
Important:
Always disconnect the battery charger
(or the extension cord, if used) from both the electrical outlet and the battery pack, or the battery
may discharge itself back into the charger. Be sure that the battery is disconnected from BOTH of
these!
✦
Reminder:
The length of time that a battery can hold its charge while mowing a lawn depends
upon lawn conditions; tall, thick, or wet grass make the mower work harder and the battery
discharge faster.
