2. You can also allow the engine to charge the bat-
tery. In this case it is very important, above all
when starting the machine for the first time and
when it has not been used for a long time, to al-
low the engine to run continuously for at least
45 minutes.
The battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. The
battery should always be stored fully
charged. If the battery is stored while
totally flat it could sustain permanent
damage.
Do not short circuit the battery's termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which
can come into contact with the battery
terminals.
