SERVICING YOUR SNOW BLOWER
Battery Charging
The snow blower is equipped with two 12 V batteries connected in
series (24 V total). Recharge each battery separately if you use a 12 V
battery charger.
The battery is rated at 35 Ah (Ampere-hours) for USA model / 30 Ah
for Canadian model. Charging current should equal 10% of the
battery’s Ampere-hour rating. A battery charger should be used that
can be adjusted to deliver 3.5 amps for USA model / 3.0 amps for
Canadian model.
For the method of the battery charging, follow the charger instruction
manual.
1. Connect the battery charger following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Charge the battery 5—10 hours.
3. Clean the outside of the battery and the battery tray compartment
with a solution of baking soda and water.
The battery will expel explosive
hydrogen gas when overcharged.
A spark or flame can cause the battery
to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
Always use a regulated charger that
provides the correct charging current
to prevent overcharging.
Wear protective clothing and a face
shield, or have a skilled mechanic
perform the battery maintenance.
