Charge the batteries in a well ventilated area. DO NOT charge the batteries when the machine is near a source of
sparks or ames. Permanent damage to the batteries will result if the batteries are not immediately re-charged after
discharging. NEVER leave the battery charger operating for more than two days. Never disconnect the cables from
the batteries when the charger is operating. Keep the charger dry.
