INSTALL THE BATTERY PACKS

Figure 10.

• If the battery pack or charger is damaged, replace the battery pack or the charger.
• Stop the machine and wait until the engine stops before you install or remove the battery packs.
• Use only 24V battery packs. Do not use dual-voltage 24/48V battery packs.
• Both battery packs should be installed in the compartments in order to start the machine.

1. Align the lift ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the battery compartment.
2. Push the battery pack into the battery compartment until the battery pack locks into place.
3. When you hear a click, the battery pack is installed.
4. Do the same operation with the other battery pack.

NOTE
Optimize the power and performance of your new 2x24V machine by running with both battery packs charged to 100%. If each battery has a different charge state, the run-time of the machine is subject to the lowest powered battery (For example: one battery is charged 100%, and the other is charged 50%, the unit will only run until the 50% battery is depleted).
