3. Service the battery.
If the snow thrower will be stored for an extended period, disconnect
the negative terminal from battery A. Remove the batteries and
recharge them every 6 months and every year before operation and
storage.
The snow thrower is equipped with two 12 V batteries connected in
series (24 V total). Recharge each battery separately if you use a 12 V
battery charger.
Charging time: Approx. 10 hours/3 A (Standard)
Check the battery electrolyte level (see page 42).
• The battery gives off explosive gases. Keep sparks caused by short
circuit and flames away when handling the battery.
• Do not use or recharge the battery with the electrolyte level below
the lower level. It can shorten the service life of the battery or cause
explosion.
Explosion of the battery can cause serious personal injury.
• Connect the battery cable properly. When connecting the battery
cable, be sure to connect at the positive (+) terminal first, then at
the negative (–) terminal. To disconnect, disconnect at the negative
terminal first. Never disconnect the battery cable in the reverse order.
Protect the battery terminals by attaching the tubes that came with
the snow thrower to the battery terminals. This will prevent short
circuit caused by a tool coming in contact with a terminal.
• The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or
eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face
shield.
– If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
– If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15
minutes and call a physician immediately.
