Battery and Charger Safety
General
•
Improperly using or maintaining the battery
charger could result in injury. To reduce this
potential, comply with the all safety instructions.
•
Use only the supplied charger for battery charging.
•
Confirm the voltage that is available in your
country before using the charger.
•
For connection to a supply not in the US,
use an attachment plug adapter of the proper
configuration for the power outlet, if needed.
•
Do not charge the machine in rain or wet
conditions.
•
Do not get the charger wet; keep it protected from
rain and snow.
•
A risk of fire, electric shock, or injury may result
from using an accessory not recommended or
sold by Toro.
•
To reduce risk of a battery explosion, follow these
instructions and the instructions for any equipment
that you intend to use near the charger.
•
Batteries could emit explosive gasses if they are
significantly overcharged.
•
Do not open batteries.
•
In the event that a battery leaks, avoid contact with
the liquid. If you accidentally come into contact
with the liquid, flush with water and seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
•
Refer to an authorized Toro distributor to service
or replace a battery.
Training
•
Never allow children or untrained people to
operate or service the charger. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator. The owner
is responsible for training all operators and
mechanics.
•
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on
the charger and in the manual before operating
the charger. Be familiar with the proper use of the
charger.
Preparation
•
Keep bystanders and children away while
charging.
•
Wear appropriate clothing while charging,
including eye protection; long pants; and
substantial, slip-resistant footwear.
•
Shut off the machine and wait 5 seconds until the
machine has completely powered down before
charging. Failure to do this may cause arcing.
•
Ensure that the area is well ventilated while
charging.
•
Read and follow all precautions for charging.
•
The charger is for use only on nominal 120 and
240 VAC circuits, and is equipped with a grounding
plug for 120 VAC operation. For use with 240 V
circuits, contact your authorized Toro distributor for
the correct power cord.
Operation
•
Do not abuse the cord. Do not carry the charger
by the cord or yank on the power supply cord to
disconnect the charger from the receptacle. Keep
the cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
•
Connect the charger directly to a grounding
(3-prong) receptacle. Do not use the charger on
an ungrounded outlet, even with an adaptor.
•
Do not alter the provided power cord or plug.
•
Avoid dropping a metal tool near or onto a battery;
it might cause a spark or short-circuit an electrical
part that could lead to an explosion.
•
Remove metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a
lithium-ion battery. A lithium-ion battery can
produce enough current to cause a severe burn.
•
Never operate the charger without good visibility
or light.
•
Use an appropriate extension cord.
•
If the power supply cord is damaged while it
is plugged in, disconnect the cord from the
wall receptacle and contact an authorized Toro
distributor for a replacement.
•
Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet when
not in use, before moving it to another location, or
prior to servicing it.
Maintenance and Storage
•
Store the charger indoors in a dry, secure place
that is out of the reach of unauthorized users.
•
Do not disassemble the charger. Take the charger
to an authorized Toro distributor when service or
repair is required.
•
Unplug the power cord from the outlet before
starting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce
risk of electric shock.
•
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels
as needed.
•
Do not operate the charger with a damaged
cord or plug. Replace a damaged cord or plug
immediately.
•
If the charger has received an impact, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged, do not use it;
take it to an authorized Toro distributor.
