NEUTON EM 4.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions 23
Charging the Battery
You must charge your battery before using your mower for the first time.
Important: While the battery in your mower has been charged at the factory, you must
recharge it fully (at least 12 hours) before first using your mower. Otherwise, the battery’s
charging capacity may be decreased.
As your battery ages, you may need to charge the battery longer, even up to 24 hours.
Note: When using an extension cord with your charger, use a heavy-duty extension cord of a type
“suitable for outdoor use” (although you should never charge the mower in the open outdoors).
Important: Always connect the charger to the battery first, and then plug it into the wall
outlet. When unplugging, reverse the process: unplug the charger from the wall outlet first,
and then disconnect it from the battery.
You can charge the battery in the mower or removed from the mower. Either method is acceptable.
Charging the Battery in the
Mower
1. Make sure all four wheels of the mower touch the
floor.
2. Remove the safety key.
3. Plug the charger’s round plug into the key slot on the
mower (Figur e 22).
4. Plug the charger into a wall outlet.
A full charge takes at least 12 hours, and up to 24 hours.
For the first five hours, the charger will be warm to the
touch. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
WARNING! Use normal household voltage (110 volts) when charging your
battery. Plug the charger directly into the electrical outlet. Do not abuse the
cords. Never carry the charger by the cord. Always pull the plug — and not the
cord — when disconnecting the cords from the electrical outlet (wall outlet) and
from the charger.
