CHaRGING THE BaTTERy
To charge the battery, check that the battery wiring is properly
connected and plug the battery charger (4681) into the side of
the battery box (4656) with matching three-prong plug. Plug
the other end of the battery charger into a standard 120V outlet
receptacle. Battery is fully charged when the LED light turns
GREEN on the external charger. The electric start mini-cultivator
(MC43E) will maintain a charge in the battery when the engine
is running.
Batteries may take as long as eight (8) hours to fully charge
depending on the original charge level of the battery.
NOTe: For long term storage protection, be sure that
the battery is fully charged and the white plastic battery
connector is disconnected. Place the battery box cover onto
the battery box and store in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
NOTe: Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of
charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced.
Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use.
