Caution!
Your voltage regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery will deliver superior performance and life only if it recharged
correctly! Under or overcharging will shorten battery life and limit performance. Be sure to follow correct charging
instructions! Do not attempt to open this battery! If a VRLA battery is opened, it loses its pressure and the plates
become oxygen contaminated. The warranty will be voided if the battery is opened.

If your machine shipped with an onboard battery charger, do the following:

1. Turn the Key Switch (A) off.
2. Unwind the electrical cord from the side of the onboard charger and plug it into a properly grounded outlet. Refer to
