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.

1.FULLY discharge the batteries by running the unit 20 minutes ON then 40 minutes OFF until the unit no longer runs (This will take 2 to 3 - 20 minute run cycles.)

2.Next FULLY charge the batteries for 16 hours. Now the unit is ready for regular use with the batteries.
