Operation - Craftsman 247.370480 Manual Del Operador

WARNING
The battery contains corrosive fluid and toxic material - HANDLE
WITH CARE. Keep away from children. Do not puncture,
disassemble, mutilate, or incinerate. Explosive gases could be vented
during charging or discharging. Use in a well ventilated area, away
from sources of ignition.
IMPORTANT: Always recharge mower fully. The charger is a two stage
charger. The first stage, equalize, supplies a higher voltage to the
batteries. This helps speed charge time and balance the charge
across the individual batteries. The second stage, float, supplies a
lower voltage. This prevents the batteries from experiencing
overcharging damage and also "tops off" the battery charge.
Depending on battery condition the equalize stage will complete in
approximately 8 hours. When the equalize stage is complete the
charger's green LED will stop blinking. This starts the float stage.
During the float stage the chargers green LED will be on continuously.
The float stage will "top off" the batteries in approximately 4-6 hours,
again, depending on the condition of the battery. However, a full 14
hour charge is always recommended.
NOTE: It is recommended that the mower be charged once every two
months during storage.
IMPORTANT: Always disconnect battery charger (or extension cord,
if used) from the electrical outlet first, then disconnect battery charger
from mower.

USING YOUR LAWN mOWER
WARNING
The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes severely. Always
wear safety glasses while operating the mower, or while performing
any adjustments or repairs on it.
• Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, or other objects
which could damage the lawn mower or motor. Such objects could
be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.

OPERATION

Charger Adapter
If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor, and remove the key.
Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage, and repair the
damage before restarting and operating the mower. Excessive
vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage.
The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.
• When using the side discharge, the most effective mowing pattern
is one that allows the clippings to discharge towards the uncut part
of the lawn.
• DO NOT use mower in the rain.
• For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total
length of the grass.
• For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to
the underside of the deck preventing proper mulching or discharge
of grass clippings. New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
