Caring for the Battery Pack
As with all rechargeable batteries, lithium ion batteries have
a life span during which they will hold a sufficient charge
to perform the work for which they are intended. As time
goes by, the total amount of work the battery will be able
to complete on a single charge will gradually diminish. The
following table lists the approximate expected work that the
machine should be capable of over the first five years of use:

Note: Your results may vary depending on the distance you
need to transport the machine, the contact setting of the bed
knife, and other factors as discussed in this section.
To achieve maximum life and use from your battery, apply
the following care guidelines:
•
Do not open the battery pack. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. If you open the pack you will void
your warranty. The pack is protected by tamper-alerting
devices.
•
Store/park the machine in a clean, dry garage or storage
area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do
not store it in a location where the temperature will drop
below -13 degrees F (-25 degrees C) or rise above 113
degrees F (45 degrees C). Temperatures outside of this
range will damage your battery. High temperatures
during storage, especially at a high state of charge, will
reduce the life of the batteries.
•
When storing for more than 10 days, ensure that the
machine is in a cool location, out of sunlight, and
connected to the charger.
•
If you are mowing in hot conditions or in sunlight, the
battery may overheat. If this happens, a high temperature
alert will appear on the InfoCenter LCD display. In this
condition, the machine will no longer operate with the
reel engaged and the machine will slow down.
Immediately drive the machine to a cool location out of
the sun, turn off the machine, and allow the battery to
cool fully before resuming operation.
•
Keep the battery pack cover clean. The white color
reflects sunlight and slows the heat build up in the battery
pack. A dirty cover will increase the heat in the battery
pack each day and will reduce the energy capacity.
•
Adjust the bed knife to reel contact to be as light as
possible. This will reduce the power needed to run the
reel and increase the amount of work the machine will
perform on each charge.

Using the InfoCenter LCD
Display
The InfoCenter LCD display shows information about your
machine such the current battery charge, the speed, and
various diagnostics and other information about the machine
and the battery pack.

•
Power light/fault indicator—illuminates when you turn
the machine on. You can return the key to the Run
position when this light illuminates. This light also blinks
when there is a machine fault.
•
Battery charge indicator—when the battery has a full
charge, all of the boxes in the indicator will be filled in
with black. As power is used, boxes will be filled with
white starting from the right and proceeding to the left
as the battery drains. When only one box is still black,
the battery pack is almost out of power and you should
immediately proceed to charge the battery.
•
Fault log indicator—this icon indicates that there is a
current fault log to review.
•
Speed control setting—the bars turn black from left to
right the faster you set the speed control. When all bars
are filled with white, the machine is at Zero speed.
•
Menu access/back button—press this button to access
the InfoCenter menus. You can also use it to back out of
any menu you are currently using.
•
Down button—use this button to scroll down menus.
•
Right button—use this button to open a menu where a
right arrow indicated additional content.
Note: The purpose of each button may change depending
on what is required at the time. Each button will be label with
an icon displaying its current function.
