Service and Installation

Your Remington brand hybrid mower is shipped with the battery system fully assembled and ready for use. When service or repair is required, it is recommended that you take your mower to a qualified service center.

When inserting the battery into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of the battery can result in leakage or explosion.

DO NOT incinerate the battery pack even if they are severely damaged or completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.

WARNING

Do not use charger outdoors or in wet or damp locations.

1.Plug charger directly into an electrical outlet. DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry optional charger by cord. Do not disconnect the charger from the outlet or mower by pulling it by the cord.

2.Do not service mower with charger or safety key installed.

3.Do not use a damaged charger. Replace damaged cords or charger immediately.

4.When charging the battery:

•Always charge it in a dry area protected from the weather.

•Do not expose it or charger to rain.

•Do not charge it in wet locations.

•Do not charge it when surrounding temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or. above 104°F (40°C)

5.Keep the mower and charger away from water, heat sources (such as radiators, heaters, stoves, etc.), flames, or chemicals. Keep cord away from sharp edges.

6.DO NOT open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It maybe toxic if swallowed.

WARNING

Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, jewelry. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

IMPORANT: You must charge your battery before using your mower for the first time and in- between every use. Failure to fully charge the battery before the first use may cuase the battery's charging capacity to be decreased.

WARNING

Do not attempt to alter or open the battery.

Before using mower for the first time, and whenever battery becomes drained, fully charge battery for approximately 10 hours. If the bat- tery is not charged completely before using the mower, the battery’s charging capacity may decrease.

Note: The mower has an on-board battery char- ger. If the mower is plugged in, the battery can be charged by selecting "charge" with the power select knob. If the optional separate charger is purchased, the battery may be charged when it is removed from the mower.

Note: The length of time that a battery can hold its charge while mowing depends upon lawn conditions; tall or thick grass makes the mower work harder causing the battery to discharge faster.

The Remington brand mower comes with a sealed, lead acid battery installed at the factory. The battery is rated for 60 volts and 5 amp-hours. The battery should not leak, regardless of the position in which the mower is stored.

The battery is completely maintenance-free. You never need to add water. However, as with all rechargeable batteries, after years of use they will eventually need replacement. With proper care, this battery should last up to 5 years. Note: As the battery ages, it may take longer to fully charge (up to 24 hours). A good time to consider purchasing a replacement battery is when the battery takes longer to charge than when it was new.

IMPORTANT: It may take up to 5 charging and discharging cycles before your battery provides maximum life.
