Storing your NEUTON Mower
Whether you store the mo wer for a short or long period of time, always remember these important
guidelines:
■Always store the mower with a full battery charge and follow the recharging instructions in
“Chapter 5:Charging and Caring f or the Battery.”
■Always store the mower in an environment w here the temperature is betw een –4°F (–20°C) and
+104°F (+40°C). Make sure the storage temperatures will never be outside these limits. For
long-term storage, store your battery in an environment where the temperatur e is lower, since
the battery self-discharges slower at low temperatur es.

battery in the mower when storing them for the long-term.

(+40°C).
