Battery Care

Proper care can extend the life of a Battery. Follow these recommendations to ensure your Battery’s best performance and long

life:

• Do not allow the Battery charge to get too low. If the machine is not used, charge the Battery every 4 – 6 weeks. Operate the

Engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper Battery charge.

• Store an unused Battery in a dry area that does not freeze.

• Do not charge an already charged Battery. In theory, you cannot overcharge our Battery with a trickle Charger; however, when a

Battery is fully charged and the Charger is still on, it generates heat that could be harmful to the Battery. A fully charged Battery

will read 12V-13.2V with a Voltmeter.

• Do not continue to crank the Engine when the Battery charge is low.

Some of the following procedures require access to the underside of the machine. If you need to tip the machine back or on its

side (with the discharge chute facing up), you must first disconnect the spark plug wire(s), drain the oil and gas, and remove the

air filters.
