Safety & Operating Instructions

Chapter 5:
Charging and Caring for the Battery
BEFORE CHARGING THE BATTERY, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONARY MARKINGS IN THIS MANUAL AND ON
YOUR MOWER. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR MOWER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AND THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED.
The Battery
The NEUTON Mower comes with a sealed, lead acid Battery already installed at the factory. The Battery is 36 volts and rated at
10 amp-hours. The Battery should not leak, regardless of the position in which it is stored. Read “Handling the Battery Safely” in
Chapter 2 for additional information.
The Battery is completely maintenance free. You never need to add water. However, as with all rechargeable Batteries, after
years of use they will eventually need replacement. With proper care, this Battery may last three (3) to five (5) years. Please refer
to “Chapter 7: Maintaining and Storing Your NEUTON Mower” for more information.
•
DO NOT STORE, OR CHARGE THE BATTERY NEAR CHILDREN, PETS OR CLOSE TO A SOURCE OF HEAT, SPARKS, OPEN
FLAME, OR ON THE FLOOR AS IT MAY BE DAMP OR SUBJECT TO ACCIDENTAL FLOODING. IN ADDITION, NEVER
EXPOSE THE BATTERY TO ABNORMAL SHAKING OR SHOCKS.
•
CHARGE THE BATTERY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
•
REGULARLY INSPECT THE EXTERNAL APPEARANCE OF THE BATTERY AND NEVER USE, OR CHARGE A BATTERY THAT
SHOWS CRACKS, CHANGES IN SHAPE, LEAKS, OR IS OBVIOUSLY DAMAGED. IF THE BATTERY BECOMES HOT TO THE
TOUCH DURING CHARGING, THIS MAY ALSO BE A SIGN OF A DAMAGED BATTERY.
•
NEVER ATTEMPT TO ALTER OR OPEN THE BATTERY, AS THIS WILL VOID YOUR BATTERIES WARRANTY. USE NORMAL
HOUSEHOLD VOLTAGE (110 VOLTS) WHEN CHARGING THE BATTERY. PLUG THE CHARGER DIRECTLY INTO THE
ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
•
REGULARLY INSPECT THE CHARGER RECEPTACLE OF THE BATTERY AND NEVER USE, OR CHARGE A BATTERY THAT
HAS VISIBLE DAMAGE OR DEBRIS WITHIN THE CHARGER RECEPTACLE. IF THERE IS DEBRIS PRESENT, PLEASE USE
CAUTION TO REMOVE THE DEBRIS. DO NOT REMOVE THE DEBRIS WITH ANY METALLIC OBJECTS, DAMP OR
FLAMMABLE ITEMS, OR ITEMS THAT MAY BECOME LODGED IN THE CHARGER RECEPTACLE AS THIS MAY CAUSE A
FIRE, OR EXPLOSION OF THE BATTERY. IF YOU OBSERVE DAMAGE TO THE CHARGER RECEPTACLE, PLEASE
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
•
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK; DO NOT TOUCH THE NON-INSULATED PORTION OF THE OUTPUT CONNECTOR OR THE
NON-INSULATED BATTERY TERMINAL.
•
USE THE NEUTON 36-VOLT CHARGER ONLY WITH THE NEUTON 36-VOLT BATTERY. USE OF OTHER CHARGERS OR
THE NEUTON 36-VOLT CHARGER WITH OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES MAY RESULT IN BURSTING OF THE BATTERY,
WHICH COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
•
Under normal conditions, the Battery charge should last for approximately forty-five (45) to sixty (60) minutes per
use. The length of time depends on the length, density, and dampness of the grass. If you generally intend to use
your Mower and Trimmer for a longer duration, Neuton
Power Equipment
recommends that you purchase an
extra Battery. That way, you could have a second fully charged Battery ready so you can continue mowing.
•
It may take up to five (5) charging and discharging cycles before your Battery provides maximum life.
•
A Battery may last much longer if you charge it as soon as it starts to lose power and not let it completely
discharge. You should not try to coax a little more power out of your Battery.
