Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS—This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery pack Models 81820, 81825, 81850, 81860, and 81875 and battery chargers Model 81802 and Model 81805.

  2. Before using the battery charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on the battery charger, battery pack, and product using the battery pack.

  3. CAUTION—To reduce risk of injury, charge battery pack Models 81820, 81825, 81850, 81860, and 81875 with battery chargers Model 81802 and Model 81805 only. Other brands of battery packs may burst, causing personal injury and damage.

  4. WARNING—Plugging the battery charger into an outlet that is not 100 to 240 V can cause a fire or electric shock. Do not plug the battery charger into an outlet other than 100 to 240 V. For a different style of connection, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet if needed.

  5. CAUTION—A mistreated battery pack may present a risk of fire or chemical burn. Do not disassemble the battery pack. Do not heat the battery pack above 68°C (154°F) or incinerate it. Replace the battery pack with a genuine Toro battery pack only; using another type of battery pack may cause a fire or explosion. Keep battery packs out of the reach of children and in the original packaging until you are ready to use them.

  6. These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following 2 conditions: (1) These devices may not cause harmful interference; and (2) these devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

I. Training

  1. Do not allow children or untrained people to operate or service this device. Allow only people who are responsible, trained, familiar with the instructions, and physically capable to operate or service the device.

  2. Do not allow children to use or play with the battery pack or battery charger; local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

II. Preparation

  1. Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Using other types of battery packs may create a risk of injury and/or fire.

  2. Do not use a damaged or modified battery pack or battery charger. It may exhibit unpredictable behavior, resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.

  3. If the supply cord to the battery charger is damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer to replace it.

III. Operation

  1. Do not use non-rechargeable batteries.

  2. Charge the battery pack with only the battery charger specified by Toro. A charger suitable for 1 type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

  3. Charge the battery pack in a well-ventilated area only.

  4. Do not expose a battery pack or battery charger to fire or to temperatures higher than 100°C (212°F).
