Black & Decker CM1936ZF2 instruction manual Operation

CHARGING PROCEDURE- FIGURES I, J

1. To charge your mower remove the battery from the mower first.

2. Align the charger plug I-1with the arrow on top and insert the charger plug into the receptacle I-2on the battery pack (blue terminal to blue terminal, white terminal to white terminal). The charger connector can only be plugged into the battery one way.

3. There are two charging rates to choose from when charging the bat- tery. The charger will default to the “normal” or regular charging rate. NORMAL CHARGING RATE - When in this mode, the red light J-1on the charger should come on indicating you have power and the bat- tery is being charged. Check the charger for the red light, if it is not on check the charger connector for proper alignment (step 2). The red light should extinguish and the green light J-1will come on when charging is complete (takes approximately 12 hours to charge a fully discharged mower).

FAST CHARGING RATE - NOTE: Fast Charge mode is only on if the fast charge button J-2is depressed. Use this mode only when neces- sary to improve task completion.

When in this mode, the red light J-1, will be flashing on and off indicating that the battery is being charged at a faster rate. After about 30 minutes the initial fast charge cycle is complete, and approximately 80% of full charge is available. The light will change to a flashing green light.

After approximately 3 hours of fast charging the battery will be fully charged, and the light will change to a continu- ous green light indicating a maintenance mode.

4. It is recommended to leave the battery on constant charge (between mowing uses) for optimum performance dur- ing the mowing season.
