ventilated area.
NEVER charge the battery near naked flames or direct heat.
ALWAYS switch off the mains electricity supply before discon-
necting the charger from the battery.
ALWAYS use the battery charger supplied with the mower.
Battery charging should not be necessary during normal use. The
engine operation will automatically charge the battery. If the mower is
stored for a long period recharging the battery may be necessary to per-
mit electric starting.
Charge the battery only when necessary.
To recharge the battery:
Disconnect the battery lead from the mower lead and then connect the
battery lead to the charger.
Connect the charger plug to the mains electricity supply and switch on
to charge the battery for a 14 hour period.
Switch off the mains electricity supply and disconnect the charger
plug.
Disconnect the battery lead from the charger and then connect
the battery lead to the mower lead.
IMPORTANT - PREVENT DAMAGE: NEVER connect the bat-
tery charger to the engine lead as this will cause the charger to be
permanently damaged. Chargers damaged in this manner will not
be replaced under warranty.
CAUTION - PREVENT ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE: The
battery has a separate collection mark. This indicates that the
used battery must be taken to an authorised disposal site. It must
not be disposed of with general waste.
