BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS - cont.
WARNING
Verify that the AC power source to which the charger is to be connected is capable of supplying the
current specifi ed on the charger nameplate.
WARNING
Keep all charger ventilation holes at least 2 inches away from walls or other objects. Do not allow
vent holes to become obstructed.
WARNING
Do not operate charger that has been damages or shows physical signs of damage. Have charger
serviced by a qualifi ed professional repair person.
WARNING
Lead acid batteries generate gases which can cause an explosion. Keep sparks and fl ames away
from batteries. NO SMOKING. Charge batteries only in area with good ventilation and keep the
top cover open while charging batteries. Do not disconnect the charger from the batteries before
disconnecting the AC power cord. Disconnecting the battery cable with the charger plugged in could
cause an explosion.
WARNING
Disconnecting the battery connector with the key switch in the “I” position will cause sparks that
could ignite explosive hydrogen gas generated by the batteries. To prevent serious injury or possible
property damage, turn key switch to “O” position before disconnecting battery cable from machine
for charging or service.
MACHINE STORAGE
GASOLINE POWERED MACHINES
Machines to be stored over 30 days should be completely drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits forming on
essential carburetor parts, fuel fi lter and tank.
The use of a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL, or an equivalent, will minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits
during storage. Such an additive may be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank of the engine.
The following procedure should be used to prepare the machine for storage:
1. All fuel should be removed from the tank. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
2. While engine is still warm, drain oil from the crankcase. Refi ll with fresh oil.
3. Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (15 grams) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly
to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.
4. Store in a clean and dry area.
BATTERY POWERED MACHINES
All wet batteries will slowly discharge on standing and will discharge much faster when warm than when cold.
At normal temperature of 80ºF (26ºC) loss of capacity by self-discharge, starting with a fully charged battery,
may amount to an average of .001 specifi c gravity per day over a 30 day period. The battery should be given
a booster charge when a specifi c gravity falls .040.
Do not discharge the batteries excessively. Excessive discharge can cause polarity reversal of the individual
cells in the battery which will lead to complete failure of the batteries.
Use a hydrometer to monitor the specifi c gravity of the individual cells in the batteries. When checking the
specifi c gravity of the batteries, you should not see a large difference between individual cells. The batteries
may need to be replaced if the battery shows a signifi cant difference of specifi c gravity between the cells.
The specifi c gravity of the electrolyte should measure 1.285 when fully charged.
Check items for proper operation. If service is required, please contact an authorized
American-Lincoln distributor.
