APPLICATIONS

You may use this product for the purpose listed below:

Mowing your lawn

Since the mower battery is shipped in a low charge condi- tion, the battery must be charged before use. The battery has four LED lights to indicate battery capacity. These lights will illuminate when the button is pressed.

If four LED lights illuminate, the battery is 100% charged and ready for use. Three lights indicate a 50-80% charge. Two lights indicate a 30-50% charge.

If one light illuminates, the battery will soon require charging. It is recommended that the battery be charged at this point. The battery is at 5-30% charge when one light illuminates.

If no lights illuminate, the battery must be charged IMMEDI- ATELY before use. There is less than 5% of battery charge remaining if none of the lights come on.

NOTE: When none of the lights are on, you must stop the mower and charge the battery immediately, or it will reduce the life of the battery.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

See Figures 7 - 8.

WARNING:

Always remove the fuse key and store it in a separate location out of the reach of children when the mower is charging or not in use. Failure to remove the fuse key may result in accidental starting or unauthorized use and cause serious personal injury.

The lawn mower comes with a maintenance-free, spill-free, sealed 48 Volt battery pack.
