and become a steady red. This indicates the
battery is charging.
6. When the battery is almost fully charged, the red
light will go out and the green light will go on. The
red and green light will alternately turn on and off.
When the green light is on more than the red light,
the battery is fully charged.
IMPORTANT: Your mower has been designed
to be safe if left continually on charge for
extended periods of time. It is recommended
that the battery be left continually on charge
when it is not in use.
During the non-mowing
season, the mower can be unplugged and stored
if the battery is fully charged.
Note:
When the mower is left on charge, it is
normal for the red and green lights to alternately
turn on and off.
