Battery Safety
NOTE: Battery is a sealed lead acid battery.
DANGER!
If battery case cracks, Do Not permit
smoking, open flame, sparks or any other source of
heat around battery. Wear protective goggles,
rubber apron and rubber gloves when working
around battery. Battery electrolyte fluid is an
extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can
cause severe burns. If spill occurs, flush area with
clear water immediately.
How to Use Battery Charger
Use battery charger jack with the provided battery charger
to keep the starting battery charged and ready for use.
Battery charging should be done in a dry location, such as
inside a garage.
• Lift the flap to plug the charger into the unit’s “12V DC
Battery Charger” jack. Plug battery charger into a
120 Volt AC wall receptacle.
• Unplug the charger from the unit and the wall outlet
when pressure washer is being started and while it is in
operation.
• Keep this charger plugged in when pressure washer is
not in use to prolong battery life. The charger has a built
in float equalizer and will not overcharge the battery,
even when plugged in for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: See “Battery Maintenance” on page 15 for
additional information.
