Battery Care (For Electric-Starting Models)

Proper care can extend the life of a battery. Follow these recommendations to ensure your battery’s best performance and long life:

•Do not allow the battery charge to get too low. If the machine is not used, charge the battery every 4

– 6 weeks. Operate the engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper battery charge.

•Store an unused battery in a dry area that does not freeze.

•Do not charge an already charged battery. In theory, you cannot overcharge our battery with a trickle charger; however, when a battery is fully charged and the charger is still on, it generates heat that could be harmful to the battery. A fully charged battery will read 12V-13.2V with a voltmeter.

•Do not continue to crank your engine when the battery charge is low.

Charging the Battery

Operate the engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper battery charge. If the battery loses its charge, you will need to use a trickle charger to recharge it. Caution: The charger should have an output of 12 volts at no more than 2 amps. Using a charger with higher amps will cause significant damage to the battery.

•At 1 amp, the battery may need charging for as long as 48 hours.

•At 2 amps, the battery may need charging for as long as 24 hours.

NOTE: Using the Recoil Starter and then running the engine will not recharge a dead or significantly discharged battery.

WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED CHARGING THE BATTERY, DISCONNECT THE CHARGER FROM THE OUTLET FIRST, THEN DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CHARGER WIRES FROM THE BATTERY. IF YOU LEAVE THE BATTERY CHARGER WIRES CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY WILL DISCHARGE ITSELF BACK INTO THE CHARGER.
