disposed of properly. Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of these batteries in the municipal solid waste or rural
trash pick up systems.
The RBRC seal on the li-ion battery pack indicates that the cost to recycle the battery pack at the end of its useful life has already
been paid by The Great States Corporation/American Lawn Mower Company. It is illegal to place spent li-ion batteries in the local
municipal solid waste or in the trash. RBRC in cooperation with The Great States Corporation/American Lawn Mower Company
has provided an environmentally friendly and easy way to recycle spent li-ion batteries. Just contact your local recycling center or

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

When fully charged, the battery can be safely stored in temperatures
down to -40 degrees F for a period of up to four weeks, before
requiring charging. Fully charge battery pack every 90 days.
If over a period of time the battery pack quickly runs down after a full
60 minutes charging period, a replacement battery pack is needed.
To prevent permanent damage to the battery, never store in a
discharged condition.
WINTER STORAGE - Fully recharge for the 1 hour before storage
and then again every 90 days.
Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does not have to be
fully discharged before recharging.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under
extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does not
indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage
gets on your skin.
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice of vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean
