2. Check that the mains voltage is the same as that marked
on the rating plate of the battery charger. Then, insert
the charger's plug into the electrical wall outlet. When
you plug in the charger, the top light on the charger will
illuminate green (Fig. 2).
3. Place the battery packs into the charger by sliding the
packs to lock them into position. When you insert the
batteries into the charger, the top green light will go off,
and the bottom red light will illuminate to indicate that the
batteries are charging (Fig. 3).
4. When the top light turns green and bottom red light turns
off, the batteries are fully charged (Fig.
3).
NOTE:
A fully discharged pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will fully charge in
2 hours (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC).
5. If th
e light indicators do not come on at all, check that
the battery packs are fully seated into the bay. Remove
the battery packs and reinsert. If the problem persists,
contact an authorized Snow Joe

When charging is complete, remove the batter
ies from the
charger by pressing the push lock buttons and sliding the
batteries upward to unlock them from the charger
(Fig.
4).
7. Timely recharging of the batteries will help prolong the
batteries' life. You must recharge the battery packs when
you notice a drop in the equipment's power.
IMPORTANT! Never allow the battery packs to become
fully discharged as this will cause irreversible damage to the
batteries.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
If the top light remains green when a battery is inserted into
the charger, that indicates that the battery pack's temperature
is outside the charging range. Once it is within the acceptable
range, normal charging will take place and the bottom light will
illuminate red. Hot or cold battery packs may take longer to
charge.
