CHARGING BATTERIES
1.
Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
1.
Do this by pressing the push-lock button and pulling the battery out (Fig.5).
2.
Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger.
Insert the power plug of the charger into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.
3.
Insert the battery pack into the battery charger (Fig.6).
4.
In the section entitled “Battery capacity indicator” you will find a table with an explanation of the
LED indicator on the batteries.
5.
See Table 1 for explanation of LED indicators on charger unit.
The battery pack may become a little warm during charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
If the battery pack is warm, let it cool and try again
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
whether the battery is correctly fitted to charger and the charging contacts are clean.
If the battery pack still fails to charge, contact our customer service centre for assistance.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You
must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Always store
the battery in the fully charged state. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will
cause it to develop a defect!
INSTALLING THE BATTERY (Fig. 5)
Open the battery cover. Then insert the batteries in the mounts as shown in (Fig. 5).
For optimum mowing results and battery power performance it is always best to use
batteries with the same capacity of 3.0 Ah or higher. There is also the option of using
batteries with different capacities in the two battery mounts A and B (Fig.8) which are
opposite each other.
Always make sure, however, that you only use batteries of the same capacity in each
separate battery bank (Fig. 8).
For example, you could use 2 x 4.0Ah batteries in one battery bank(A) while using 2 x
3.0Ah batteries in the opposite battery bank(B).
Important!
Use only batteries which are charged to the same level. Never combine full and half-full
batteries. Always charge the two/all batteries simultaneously. The equipment‘s operating
time depends on the battery with the lower charge level. The two/all batteries must always
be fully charged before use. Close the battery cover by swinging it down, and make sure that
it latches in place correctly.
