CHARGING BATTERIES
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, wear
personal protection equipment as needed. Avoid
contact with battery acid.
The lifetime of the batteries depends on their proper
maintenance. To get the most life from the batteries:
S Do not charge the batteries more than once a day
and only after running the machine for a minimum of
15 minutes.
S Do not leave the batteries partially discharged for
long period of time.
S Only charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area to
prevent gas build up. Charge batteries in areas with
ambient temperatures 80F/ 27C or less.
S Allow the charger to complete charging the batteries
before re-using the machine.
S Maintain the proper electrolyte levels of flooded (wet)
batteries by checking levels weekly (See BATTERY
MAINTENANCE).
W ARNING: Batteries Emit Hydrogen Gas.
Keep Sparks And Open Flame Away. Keep Battery
Compartment Open When Charging.
