Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Fitting and removing the battery pack
WARNING. Only use GMC 18VDT-BAT 18V batteries in
this truck.
1. Open the roof of the truck by pressing the roof release
button (4) located at the rear of the truck.
2. Lift the rear of the roof (5) upward and pull it away from
the truck.
3. Insert the terminal end of the freshly charged battery (not
supplied) into the battery cavity inside the truck. Ensure
the battery is fully inserted into the battery cavity of the
truck.
4. To re-install the roof, insert the two tabs located on the
front of the roof into the matching slots on the truck.
5. Lower the rear of roof onto the truck and press downward
until the roof ‘clicks’ into place.
Battery charging
IMPORTANT. Before inserting into or removing the battery
pack (6) from the battery charger cradle (7) always ensure
that the plug is not in the mains socket.
ATTENTION. Never charge
the battery for longer than 7
hours. Doing so will void battery
warranty.
1. Insert the charger plug (6) into
the socket on the side of the
charger stand (7).
2. Connect the battery charger to
a suitable power supply socket
and switch on the power.
Note. The green LED power
indicator (9) will show there is
power going to the charger.
3. Insert the battery into the
charger socket taking care that
the battery pack tabs align with
the guides in the charger. It
should fit easily. Do not force. Check that the battery pack
is firmly seated in the charger.
Note. The red LED charge indicator (10) will show that the
battery is correctly inserted into the charger cradle and is
on charge. The battery charge time is approximately 5 to 7
hours. If the red indicator light does not come ON, check to
make sure the battery pack is inserted fully into the charger
cradle and the electrical outlet is working properly.
Note. The red light will switch off when the battery is fully
charged, indicating the battery is no longer charging.
A further indication for a fully charged battery is the
temperature of the pack, which becomes fairly warm as the
battery becomes fully charged.
Important Charging Information
WARNING.
Never leave a battery on charge once it starts
to warm up.
