1.
To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse
your battery packs or charger in liquid or allow any liquid
to flow inside these components.
2. Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and
electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air.
3. Use only mild soap on a damp cloth to clean the battery
packs and charger, keeping away from all electrical
contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of
these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents containing ammonia. Never use
flammable or combustible solvents around battery packs,
battery chargers or tools.
4. The iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery charger has no
serviceable parts.

Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.
4. Remove the batteries from the cordless snow blower
before storing.
5. Store the cordless snow blower indoors
in a locked,
dry place out of the reach of children to prevent
unauthorized use or damage.

section for important details if the snow thrower is to be
stored for an extended period.
B Charger Off-Season Storage
1.
Do not expose your battery packs or charger to water,
rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently
damage the charger and the battery packs. Do not use oil
or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery packs as the
plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a
serious risk of injury.
2. Store the battery packs and charger at room temperature
away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery
pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack
is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures
(over 120ºF/49ºC).
3. iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery packs maintain their charge
during storage longer than other battery pack types.
As a general practice, it is best to unplug the battery
charger and remove the battery packs when they are not
in use. Recharge the battery packs every 6 months to
50% capacity (2 lights on) during off-season storage to
maintain optimal battery performance.

never burn or incinerate battery packs even if it is damaged,
dead or completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes
