battery may need to be charged for a brief period of time
as per the manufacturer instructions.
To install the battery on the trowel, make sure that the
battery is well seated in the battery box and the terminals
are properly connected. The positive cable, normally
RED, is associated with the "+" symbol on the battery. The
negative cable, normally BLACK, is associated with the "-"
symbol on the battery, (Figure 5). Connect the positive cable
to the positive terminal on the battery first, then connect the
negative cable to the negative terminal. Close the plastic
battery box cover and secure the battery box.

setup instructions only need to be performed at the time
of unpacking a NeW trowel.
