Safety Instructions

DANGER! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, DEATH, OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

• The charger is not meant for use by children.
• Provide adequate ventilation for the charger to dissipate heat during charging. The charger will get hot. Keep away from flammable and combustible material and do not cover the charger.
• Risk of Burn Hazard: Charger surfaces may be hot during operation. Use the charger handle only. The charger should be mounted in the vertical position with the handle facing up or resting on its base during use.
• Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
• Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or damp conditions. Water entering charger will increase the risk of electric shock. The charger must be plugged into a Class A GFCI receptacle when used outdoors.
• Keep charger and charger plug free of contamination and dirt. Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
• Keep cord and charger away from heat to prevent damage to housing or internal parts.
• Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than the plug when disconnecting from the charge port. Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Have damaged cords replaced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Do not store or charge battery packs or charger in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F (10°C) or more than 100°F (37.8°C). Do not store outside or in vehicles.
• Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized service person.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service person for electrical check to determine if the charger is in good working order.
• Make sure cords are located so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage to the cords, which could result in electric shock.
• Do not disassemble charger. Opening the charger will void its warranty. If charger requires service or repair during the warranty period, take it to an authorized service center to be replaced.
• Service person must unplug charger from the AC wall outlet and from the mower charge port before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock.
