NEUTON 24-Volt Charger Instructions Booklet

Under normal conditions, the Battery charge should last for approximately forty-five (45) to sixty (60) minutes per use with a fully charged
Battery. The length of time depends on the length, density, and dampness of the grass, cutting height setting, current Battery charge level,
and ongoing Battery care/charging. If the Battery does not provide a forty-five (45) minute run time, it does not mean that your Battery is
defective. If you generally intend to use your Mower for a longer duration, Neuton Power Equipment recommends that you purchase an
extra Battery. Whereby, you could have a second fully charged Battery ready so you can continue mowing.
TIPS
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 noticeably starts to lose power. Do not force the Battery to discharge to the
extent that the machine will no longer operate. You should never try to coax a little more power out of your Battery. Recharge the Battery
as soon as possible after each use according to your charger’s unique and specific instructions outlined in the following documents.
Handling the Battery Safely
Never charge the lawn mower Battery in the rain or in wet conditions.
Use only an approved 24-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 you inhale the fumes.
Please dispose of used Batteries responsibly, according to your local hazardous materials regulations. Never throw away used Batteries in your
household trash.
Please dispose of your used Batteries responsibly by recycling them. We have partnered with East Penn Manufacturing, one of the leading
producers of lead-acid batteries in the U.S., to recycle your Battery when it reaches the end of its life. East Penn has nearly 100 distribution
centers throughout the U.S. and Canada that will accept your Battery for recycling. East Penn will separate and reuse everything in your old
Battery: the plastic cover, the lead, and even the Battery acid using a patented process. To find the location of the East Penn distribution center
