a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as
those of plug on charger;
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is a minimum of 16 AWG to allow for AC ampere rating of
charger.
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace charger


When To Charge Battery Pack
First Time - The Lithium‐Ion battery pack was partially charged before shipment. To
maintain charge and to prevent damage while in storage, the battery pack is programed
to enter a "sleep mode". A quick charge of approximately ten (10) seconds is required to
wake up the battery. Leave battery pack in charger until fully charged. To charge the

WARNING
POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT see it, smell it,
or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak
while using this product, shut it off and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a
doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to

reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide

alarms with battery back‐up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,

sheds, or other partially‐enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these
spaces and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.
ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from

occupied spaces.
NOTICE: This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before you start
the engine, make sure you add oil according to the instructions in this manual. If you
start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair and will not be covered
under warranty.
Note: Equipment may have remote controls. See the equipment manual for location and
operation of remote controls.
How To Check / Add Oil
1. Check the oil level. See the
2. Check the battery tray on top of the engine for debris and if dirty clean with a brush
or cloth. Mount the battery pack (B, Figure 8) in the battery tray on top of engine.
Make sure battery pack is securely installed. The battery pack may represent
equipment key in some instances.

5. Models electric start switch or start button: Hold the engine stop lever against
the handle (C, Figure 7). Then, turn the electric start switch to the on / start position or
push the start button. See the equipment manual for the location and operation of the
electric start switch or the start button.
6. Models without electric start switch or start button: Hold the engine stop lever against
the handle (C, Figure 7). Engine will automatically start. See the equipment manual
for operation of the engine stop lever.
NOTICE: To extend the life of the starter, use short starting cycles (five seconds
maximum). Wait one minute between starting cycles.
If the engine will not crank and the battery pack display lights are flashing, then the
battery pack temperature is too hot or current draw is too high. All four battery display
lights (H, Figure 5) will flash a warning for 10 seconds. The battery pack does not have a
fuse, but will automatically reset after 10 seconds. If battery pack temperature is too hot
(over 140 F, 60 C), remove the battery and allow it to cool. To avoid excess current draw
on lawnmowers, keep the mower housing clean of grass build-up and debris.
