shock hazard during
recharging. Avoid wet conditions when
charging battery.
• Recharging the battery with improper
equipment could cause a battery explo-
sion. Use only the battery charger

be shut off and the spark plug wire dis-
connected and moved away from the

Failure to comply could result in per-
sonal injury or property damage.
