Handling the Battery Safely
•
NEVER CHARGE THE LAWN MOWER BATTERY IN THE RAIN OR IN WET CONDITIONS.
•
USE ONLY AN APPROVED 36-VOLT NEUTON CHARGER TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. MAKE SURE THAT THE
NEUTON CHARGER OUTPUT VOLTAGE PRINTED ON THE CHARGER LABEL MATCHES THE VOLTAGE OF
YOUR BATTERY. USE OF A DIFFERENT CHARGER MAY NOT ALLOW THE BATTERY TO FULLY RECHARGE
AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. USE OF A NON-APPROVED NEUTON CHARGER WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
•
EXERCISE CARE IN HANDLING THE BATTERY IN ORDER NOT TO SHORT-CIRCUIT IT WITH CONDUCTING
MATERIALS SUCH AS RINGS, BRACELETS, AND KEYS. WHEN SHORT-CIRCUITED, THE BATTERY OR
CONDUCTOR MAY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE BURNS.
•
NEVER ATTEMPT TO ALTER OR OPEN THE BATTERY. OPENING YOUR BATTERY WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY AND COULD RESULT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION OR RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. USE
NORMAL HOUSEHOLD VOLTAGE (110 VOLTS) WHEN CHARGING THE BATTERY. PLUG THE CHARGER
DIRECTLY INTO THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
•
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE INDIVIDUAL BATTERY CELLS INSIDE THE BATTERY. MIXING FRESH
AND DISCHARGED BATTERIES COULD INCREASE INTERNAL CELL PRESSURE AND RUPTURE THE
DISCHARGED BATTERY. IMPROPER WIRING WITHIN THE BATTERY COULD RESULT IN LEAKAGE OR
EXPLOSION.
•
NEVER DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN A FIRE, AS THE BATTERY CELLS MAY EXPLODE. NEVER OPEN OR
MUTILATE THE BATTERY. RELEASED ELECTROLYTE (BATTERY ACID) IS CORROSIVE AND WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO EYES, SKIN, OR CLOTHES. BATTERY ACID IS TOXIC IF SWALLOWED OR IF THE FUMES ARE
INHALED.
•
NEVER THROW AWAY USED BATTERIES IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD TRASH. BRING THEM TO A RECYCLING
CENTER OR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DEPOT FOR PROPER DISPOSAL. PLEASE REFER TO
“RECYCLING YOUR USED BATTERY” ON PAGE 31
FOR MORE INFORMATION.
NOTE: See additional details on Battery care in “Chapter 5: Charging and Caring for the Battery”.
No list of Warnings and Cautions can be all-inclusive. If situations occur not covered by this manual, the
operator must apply common sense and operate the NEUTON Mower or Trimmer in a safe manner.
