DANGER

•Wet conditions can cause an electric shock hazard dur- ing battery charging. Avoid wet conditions when charging.

•Recharging the battery with improper equipment could cause a battery explosion. Use only the battery charger shipped to you. All parts must be fully stopped and the spark plug wire disconnected and moved away from the spark plug.

Failure to comply could result in personal injury or property damage.

STEP 4: Connect Battery Wires and Charge Battery (electric start model only)

A.Connect wire lead (T, Fig. 2-4) from the battery (S) to the connector (U) on the main wire harness. Align connec- tors so wire colors are in line. Press both plastic connectors together securely.

B.To charge the battery, the battery charger shipped to you must first be connected to the wire harness at loca- tion “V” (Fig. 2- 5). Then plug the charger box (W, Fig. 2-5) into a grounded 120V wall outlet.

C.Initially charge battery for 24 hours before using electric starter. After charging, unplug the charger from the wall outlet first, then disconnect the wire harness (V, Fig. 2-5). (Prior to and after removing machine from win- ter storage, also charge battery for 24 hours.)

STEP 5: Check Trimmer

Head Hardware

Check the tightness of the hardware securing the trimmer head at two loca- tions (X, Figure 2-6) and the hardware that secures the line clamps at two lo- cations (Y). You may rotate the trim- mer head by hand to make access to the hardware easier. Tighten the hard- ware securely.

NOTE: The small round hole on the top of the deck near the front of the ma- chine is a service entryway. Its use is explained in “Section 5: Maintenance.”

IMPORTANT: The trimmer head hard- ware is designed to be permanently installed and is not removable. Do not attempt to replace it with non-fac- tory specified hardware.
