after prolonged storage or anytime you notice a decrease in starter
motor speed.
To assure maximum reliability, the battery should be charged before
prolonged storage and charged again at the beginning of the mowing
season. Charge the battery in a dry, well-ventilated area where the
temperature is moderate.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
1. Remove the battery cover by depressing the tabs located on the
sides and releasing the tab on top of the battery cover.
2. Disconnect the battery connector by depressing the connector tab
and pulling the battery connector from the harness connector,
which is located inside the battery case, above the battery.
3. Connect the battery connector to the charger supplied with the
mower.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to charge the battery with any charger other than the
one supplied with the mower. Use of a charger other than the one
supplied may result in damage to the electrical system or fire.
