Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

Fitting and removing the battery pack

WARNING. Only use GMC 18VDT-BAT 18V batteries in this truck.

1.Open the roof of the truck by pressing the roof release button (4) located at the rear of the truck.

2.Lift the rear of the roof (5) upward and pull it away from the truck.

3.Insert the terminal end of the freshly charged battery (not supplied) into the battery cavity inside the truck. Ensure the battery is fully inserted into the battery cavity of the truck.

4.To re-install the roof, insert the two tabs located on the front of the roof into the matching slots on the truck.

5.Lower the rear of roof onto the truck and press downward until the roof ‘clicks’ into place.

Battery charging

IMPORTANT. Before inserting into or removing the battery pack (6) from the battery charger cradle (7) always ensure that the plug is not in the mains socket.

ATTENTION. Never charge the battery for longer than 7 hours. Doing so will void battery warranty.

1.Insert the charger plug (6) into the socket on the side of the charger stand (7).

2.Connect the battery charger to a suitable power supply socket and switch on the power.

Note. The green LED power indicator (9) will show there is power going to the charger.

3.Insert the battery into the charger socket taking care that the battery pack tabs align with the guides in the charger. It

should fit easily. Do not force. Check that the battery pack is firmly seated in the charger.

Note. The red LED charge indicator (10) will show that the battery is correctly inserted into the charger cradle and is on charge. The battery charge time is approximately 5 to 7 hours. If the red indicator light does not come ON, check to make sure the battery pack is inserted fully into the charger cradle and the electrical outlet is working properly.

Note. The red light will switch off when the battery is fully charged, indicating the battery is no longer charging.

A further indication for a fully charged battery is the temperature of the pack, which becomes fairly warm as the battery becomes fully charged.

Important Charging Information

WARNING. Never leave a battery on charge once it starts to warm up.
