Safety & Operating Instructions

Chapter 4: Charging and Caring for the Battery
Before charging the Battery, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual and on your Mower. Do not operate
your Mower until you have read and understand all instructions and the Battery is fully charged. Reference “Step 4: Charge
the Battery before your first use.” on page 7 for information on connecting the Battery Charger to the Battery.
The Battery
The NEUTON Mower comes with a sealed, lead acid Battery already installed at the factory. The Battery is 36 volts and rated at
10 amp-hours. The Battery should not leak, regardless of the position in which it is stored. Read “Handling the Battery Safely”
in Chapter 1 for additional information.
The Battery is completely maintenance free. You never need to add water. With all rechargeable Batteries, after years of use,
they will eventually need replacement.
With proper care, the Battery can last up to three (3) to five (5) years.
• Never attempt to alter or open the Battery. Use normal household voltage (110 volts) when charging the Battery. Plug the
Charger directly into the electrical outlet.
• Risk of electric shock; do not touch the non-insulated portion of the output connector or the non-insulated Battery terminal.
• Use the NEUTON 36-Volt Charger only with the NEUTON 36-Volt Battery. Use of other Chargers or the NEUTON 36-Volt
Charger with other types of Batteries may result in bursting of the Battery, which could cause personal injury and property
damage.
• Under normal conditions, the Battery charge should last for approximately forty-five (45) to sixty (60) minutes per use with a
fully charged Battery. The length of time depends on the length, density, and dampness of the grass, cutting height setting,
current Battery charge level, and ongoing Battery care/charging. If the Battery does not provide a forty-five (45) minute run
time, it does not mean that your Battery is defective. If you generally intend to use your Mower for a longer duration,
Neuton Power Equipment recommends that you purchase an extra Battery. Whereby, you could have a second fully
charged Battery ready so you can continue mowing.
• The optimal ambient temperature for charging of the Battery is between +32ºF (0ºC) and +104ºF (+40ºC). Make sure the
charging temperatures will never be outside these limits.
• It may take up to five (5) charging and discharging cycles before your Battery provides maximum life.
• A Battery may last much longer if you charge it as soon as it starts to lose power and not let it completely discharge. You
should not try to coax a little more power out of your Battery. Recharge the Battery as soon as possible after each use and
remove it from the Charger. The Battery will fully recharge in ten (10) to twelve (12) hours.
• Avoid leaving the Battery on the Charger for a period of more than a week.
• For superior Battery performance, always store the Battery in a DRY environment with temperatures between +5ºF (-15ºC)
and +104ºF (+40ºC). Make sure the storage temperatures will never be outside these limits. The lower the storage
temperature is within the specified range, the better. The Battery will discharge more slowly at low temperatures. Charge
the Battery for ten (10) to twelve (12) hours maximum prior to storage and then every one (1) to two (2) months; and then
again prior to the first seasons use. Be sure to remove the Charger from the Battery after charging. Also, do not store the
Battery near children or pets or close to a source of heat, sparks, open flame or on the floor as it may be damp or subject to
accidental flooding. In addition, never expose the Battery to abnormal shaking or shocks. Regularly observe the external
appearance of the Battery. Never use a Battery that shows cracks, changes shape, leaks, or is obviously damaged.
Periodically inspect the Cord on the Charger unit for damage. If damage occurs, discontinue use of the Charger immediately
and visit our website at www.neutonpower.com
or call Neuton Power Equipment Toll Free at: 1-866-NEUTON1 (638-8661)
for a replacement Charger. Do not abuse the Cord. Never carry the Charger by the Cord. Always pull the Charger – and not
the Cord – when disconnecting the Charger from the electrical outlet (wall outlet). Always pull the Charger Connector – and
not the Cord – when disconnecting the Charger from the Charging Receptacle on the Battery after charging. When using an
extension Cord with your Charger, use a heavy-duty extension Cord of a type “suitable for outdoor use” (although you should
never charge the Battery in the open outdoors).
