BATTERY SERVICE AND INSTALLATION
When service or repair is required, it is recommended that you take your mower to an authorized Black & Decker Service Center.
When servicing or replacing batteries, please note:
• Use only the same type and size of battery as originally supplied.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. See Battery Recycling information below.
• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
THE RBRC™ SEAL (BATTERY RECYCLING)
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the lead acid battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the
battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lead acid
batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to
facilitate the collection of spent lead acid batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the lead acid
battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for
information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call
1-800-544-6986.

HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL HINTS TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR BLACK & DECKER CORDLESS MOWER...AND KEEP YOUR LAWN
LOOKING BEAUTIFUL
1. Lawns should first be mowed in the spring when the grass is about 2-1/2 to 3 inches (63mm) to (76mm) high. Mowing too early restricts the
grass root systems which renew themselves every spring. New grass should be mowed when it is about 2-1/2 inches (63mm) high.
2. Do not remove too much grass blade surface at one time...never more than 1/3 of the leaf height during each cutting. Cutting too close
“shocks” sensitive grass blades, resulting in a shallow root system and thus making it more difficult for your lawn to reach water in the soil.
3. Lawn care experts say that excessively close cutting is responsible for much of the difficulty experienced on many lawns. The depth and
strength of the roots of grass are almost exactly proportional to its growth. Grasses of mature lawns often are seriously injured when mowed
shorter than 1-1/2 inches (38mm), and a height of 1-1/2 to 2 inches (38mm) to (51mm) is preferred on large lawns.
