36 NEUTON EM 5.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions
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. Water will damage the Mower and battery.
• 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 or other 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.
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 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 dry an environment as possible. Do not store it on a floor that may be
damp or subject to accidental flooding.
• 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.
• During long-term storage of batteries that are intended for reuse, periodically recharge the
battery, as recommended in “Chapter 5: Charging and Caring for the Battery.”
