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 dry 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.”
