5.5 Battery
WARNING: Only charge the product
using a charging station which is
intended for it. Incorrect use may result
in electric shock, overheating or
leakage of corrosive liquid from the
battery. In the event of leakage of
electrolyte flush with water and seek
medical help if it comes in contact with
the eyes etc.
WARNING: Use only original batteries
recommended by the manufacturer.
Product safety cannot be guaranteed
with other batteries. Do not use non-
rechargeable batteries.
CAUTION: The battery must be
charged fully before winter storage. If
the battery is not fully charged it can
be damaged and in certain cases be
rendered useless.
If the operating times for the product are shorter
than normal between charges, this indicates that
the battery is getting old and eventually needs
replacing. The battery is fine as long as the
product maintains a well-cut lawn.
Note: Battery life is dependent on the length of
the season and how many hours a day the
product is operating. A long season or many
hours of use a day means that the battery must
be replaced more regularly.
