NEUTON EM 4.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions 33
Storing your NEUTON Mower
Whether you store the mower for a short or long period of time, always remember these important
guidelines:
Always store the mower with a full battery charge and follow the recharging instructions in
“Chapter 5: Charging and Caring for the Battery.”
Always store the mower in an environment where the temperature is between –4°F (–20°C) and
+104°F (+40°C). Make sure the storage temperatures will never be outside these limits. For
long-term storage, store your battery in an environment where the temperature is lower, since
the battery self-discharges slower at low temperatures.
Store the mower in a dry environment.
Do not store the mower near chemicals such as fertilizers. These products are often highly
corrosive and may cause permanent damage to your mower.
Do not store the battery in proximity to organic solvents.
Always keep the safety key in a safe place and away from children. You can safely keep the
battery in the mower when storing them for the long-term.
We recommend storing the mower and the battery so that they will not get wet.
If you must store the battery outside the mower, follow these rules:
If the battery will be used again, give it a full charge before removing it from the mower.
Do not store the battery close to a source of heat, sparks or open flames.
The ambient (surrounding) temperature range must be between –4°F (–20°C) and +104°F
(+40°C).
Do not expose the battery to abnormal shaking or shocks.
Store the battery away from children and animals.
Do not press, bend, or use force on the terminals.
Do not apply heat (such as a soldering iron) to the terminals.
Store the battery in as dr y an environment as possible. Do not store it on a floor that may be
damp or subject to accidental flooding, such as a basement.
Regularly observe the external appearance of the battery and keep it clean and dry. Never use a
battery that shows cracks, changes shape, leaks, or otherwise is obviously damaged.
Never throw away used batteries. Bring them to a recycling center or dealer for proper disposal.
During long-term storage of batteries that are intended for reuse, you should reinstall them
periodically and recharge as recommended in “Chapter 5: Charging and Caring for the Battery.”
