Charging The Battery Pack
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge them until
the green LED on the front of the charger comes on.
If the charger does not charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to
your nearest authorised Bushranger
®
service centre for electrical check.
