5. A fully discharged pack with an internal temperature
in the normal range will fully charge in 1.5 to 2 hours
(between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC). Heavily cycled
battery packs may take longer to charge completely.
6. If the charging light indicator alternately blinks red and
green or the light indicator does not come on at all, check
that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove
the pack and reinsert. If the problem persists, contact the

When charging is complete, remove the battery from the
charger by pulling the push lock button and sliding the
battery backward to unlock it from the charger (Fig. 19
).
8. Timely recharging of the battery will help prolong the
battery's life. You must recharge the battery pack when
you notice a drop in the equipment's power.
IMPORTANT! Never allow the battery pack to become fully
discharged as this will cause irreversible damage to the
battery.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
A red and green flashing indicator light on the charger
indicates that the battery pack temperature is outside the
charging range. Once the pack is within the acceptable
range, normal charging will take place and the red light will
be continuous. Hot or cold battery packs may take longer to
charge.
Operation
m
WARNING!
Keep the area to be cleared free of stones,
toys or other foreign objects that the rotor blades might pick
up and throw. Such items could be covered by snow and are
easy to overlook, so be sure to conduct a thorough inspection
of the area before beginning work.
NOTE:
Before using this machine, make sure that the snow
blower’s roll shaft and rubber plates are firmly secured with
screws, and that the rubber plates are facing the correct
direction. Perform a test run to ensure that the rotor turns
freely.

Open the battery compartment cover and slide the battery
down until it clicks to lock it into position (Fig. 20).

While depressing the safety switch button, pull the
ON/OFF switch lever toward you. Once the machine
powers on, release the safety switch button and begin
operation (Fig. 21). The machine can only be started by
depressing the safety switch button first, followed by
squeezing the ON/OFF switch lever; reverse operation will
not start the machine.
