key before lifting, transporting or storing the tiller. Never pick up or carry the unit while the motor is running, serious
personal injury could result. Store in a dry place. Do not lift the tiller by the battery handles. Note: The tiller will not be
as heavy to lift if the battery pack is removed first. Do not use the latch as a lift point for the tiller.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE

charge.
2. The tiller may be stored with the charger disconnected if all of the following conditions are met.
- the battery is fully charged before storing. (Failure to store fully charged will shorten battery life).
- the average temperature of the storage location is below 50°F (10°C).
- storage duration is less than 6 months.
BATTERY SERVICE AND INSTALLATION
When service or repair is required, it is recommended that you take your tiller 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 envi-
ronment 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.
