3.Your battery pack will need to be charged before use (Refer to CHARGING THE BATTERIES in the OPERATION Section of this manual).

4.Read these instructions completely before use.

5.Observe recommendations for maintenance and replacement.

NOTE: To maximize the capacity and life of the Freeway Lite rechargeable batteries, FULLY charge them for 16 hours before initial use.
