If your machine is equipped with a built-in battery charger, simply turn off the machine, set the brake, open the hood (lid), and plug in the charger to a wall outlet with the correct voltage.

  • Page 10: About Batteries

    ABOUT BATTERIES: We do not recommend use of anything but a deep cycle battery, one made to run a long time between recharging. An automotive battery, designed to be recharged (by the cars alternator) right after short use, will give poor service. We do not recommend use of a battery that weighs more than 120lbs, since this could make steering difficult.
