• Firmly slide the battery pack down into the
charger to ensure terminal connection. The
battery locking tabs should positively
engage the charger. The red LED will light
to confirm terminal connection and that the
charging cycle has started.
• When the green LED flashes, the charging
cycle is 90% completed.
• Remove the battery pack from the charger
when the flashing green LED remains
steady, and store the charger safely for
future use. Remove the battery pack by
pressing the two locking tabs on either
side of the pack and slide the pack from the
charger.
CHARGING INDICATOR
This charger is designed to detect problems
that can sometimes arise with rechargeable
battery packs. The status of the two LED’s
can alert the operator to potential problems.
Please refer to the table below.
Note:
If battery pack failure is suspected, we
recommend that the operator inserts a new
battery of known quality into the charger to
check that the charger is working correctly.
If the new battery charges correctly, then
the original battery is probably defective and
should be sent for safe recycling. If the new
battery pack displays the same problems as
the original, have the charger tested by a
qualified person.
WARNING:
When a battery becomes
discharged due to prolonged use or exposure
to direct sunlight or heat, always allow the
battery pack to cool down before recharging.
This will allow the battery to be recharged to
its full capacity.
CHARGING TIMES
Normal charging time is approximately
1 hour but this can vary depending upon
circumstances.
• If the battery pack is only partially discharged
it may take less than an hour to recharge.
• If the battery pack and ambient temperature
are very cold then recharging could take up
1.5 hours.
• If the battery pack is very hot it may not
recharge. Allow it to cool right down before
beginning the charging process.
2. INSTALLING OR
REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
