rosive fluid and toxic material; handle
with care and keep away from children.
Do not puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate
the battery. Explosive gases could be vented during

fit into the plug on the battery box.
WARNING: Use only the battery charger
supplied with this mower.
1. Plug the battery charger into the port on the underside
of the battery housing, Figure 5-8.
2. Insert the battery charger plug into a standard 120
volt household outlet. See Figure 5-8. Charge battery
for 8 to 10 hours before initial use. Do not charge
longer than 12 hours. The battery should only need
to be charged upon initial setup and after any other
extended periods of non-use.
IMPORTANT: Always plug charger lead into battery pack
lead first, and then insert battery charger plug into 120
volt standard household outlet. Follow this order of action
every time you charge the battery.
3. After charging, disconnect charger plug from outlet
first, then disconnect charger lead from battery.
Replacing Fuse (If Equipped)
The electric starter circuit and battery are protected by a
40 ampere fuse. If the fuse burns out, the electric starter
will not operate. If the unit fails to start with the electric
starter, perform the following steps to check the fuse
inside the battery housing:
1. Open the battery cover as described in Replacing
Battery. Refer to Figure 5-6.
2. Remove fuse from socket and inspect as shown in
Figure 5-9. If it is burned out, replace with standard
automotive 40 ampere fuse.
3. Carefully place wiring back into housing, close battery
cover, and fold upper handle back into place.
NOTE: The engine can be started manually if the fuse
burns out.
Off-Season Storage
The following steps should be taken to prepare your lawn
mower for storage.
