Proper Connection and Disconnection of Charger Units:
1)
Connect the charger to the mower charging port with the Red Anderson Connector. (Fig.S1) Plug charger
into 110-120V or 220-240V wall outlet. (following charging procedures pg. 19) You will see a red light on
the charger unit and cooling fan will turn on. This will indicate the charger is functioning properly.
2)
When unit is fully charged, the light will turn GREEN and cooling fan will turn off. To disconnect the
charger, unplug charger from outlet FIRST then proceed to unplug the charger from mower charging port.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU DO NOT UNPLUG CHARGER FROM WALL OUTLET FIRST, the GREEN light will stay
on and the charger will not reset for the next charge. If this occurs, unplug the charger from the wall
outlet and wait until the GREEN light turns off (NOTE: this may take up to 40 seconds). NOTE
–
If you
have purchased a charger with a manufacture date of January 2017 or later, the charger will reset without
having to unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
***Always refer to the Charger Manual for more information about the proper operation of the charger or
