26 NEUTON EM 5.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions
Charging the Battery
You must charge your battery before using your Mower for the first time and in between every use.
You can charge the battery in the Mower or removed from the Mower. The performance of your
Mower is the same, regardless of which charging method you choose.
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. A good time
to consider purchasing a replacement battery is when the battery takes longer to charge.
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 battery 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.
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 (Figure 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.
