Battery and Charger Safety (continued)
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 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.
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 charge a frozen battery.
• 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 receptacle. Do not use the charger on an
ungrounded outlet, even with an adaptor.
