BATTERY BREAK-IN

To break in your Jazzy’s new batteries for maximum efficiency:

1.Fully recharge any new battery prior to initial use. This will bring the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.

2.Run your Jazzy 1113 about the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not stray too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.

3.Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and run the Jazzy 1113 again. The batteries should now perform at over 90% of their potential.

4.After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING—FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) How does the charger work?

The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage of 120VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 28VDC (direct current). When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the batteries. This is why the charging ammeter initially reads 5.5 or more amps. As the battery voltage approaches a full charge, the charger doesn’t work as hard to complete the charging cycle. This explains why the amperage on the charging ammeter drops as the batteries approach a full charge. When the batteries are fully charged, the amperage from the charger is nearly zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge the battery. Your Jazzy 1113’s charger will not be able to charge your batteries after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call your local authorized provider for assistance.

Can I use a different battery charger?

You should use the charger supplied with the Jazzy 1113. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).

How often must I charge the batteries?

Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries.You may use your Jazzy 1113 all day on a daily basis, or you may not use it for weeks at a time.

νDaily Use

If you use your Jazzy 1113 on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using it for the day. Then, your Jazzy 1113 will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. We recommend that you charge the batteries 8 to 14 hours after daily use. Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours.

νInfrequent Use

If you use your Jazzy 1113 infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge it at least once per week for 12 to 14 hours.

Remember: Keep the batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging the batteries. Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours.
