Servicing the Lithium-Ion Batteries
Note: The machine is equipped with 10 lithium-ion batteries.
A lithium-ion battery must be disposed of or recycled in accordance with local and federal regulations. If a battery requires service, contact your Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.
Do not open the battery. If you are having problems with a battery, contact your Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.
Maintaining the Lithium-Ion Batteries
Warning
The batteries contain high voltage, which could burn or shock you.
-
Do not attempt to open the batteries.
-
Use extreme care when handling a battery with a cracked case.
-
Use only the charger designed for the batteries.
The lithium-ion batteries hold a sufficient charge to perform intended work during its life span.
To achieve maximum life and use from your batteries, follow these guidelines:
-
Do not open the battery.
-
Store/park the machine in a clean, dry garage or storage area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, rain, and wet conditions. Do not store it in a location where the temperature exceeds the range specified in Battery Storage Requirements.
Important: Temperatures outside of this range will damage your batteries. High temperatures during storage, especially at a high state of charge, reduces the life of the batteries.
-
When storing the machine for more than 10 days, ensure that the machine is in a cool and dry location, out of sunlight, rain, and wet conditions.
-
If you are using the machine hot conditions or in strong, direct sunlight, the battery may overheat. If this happens, a high-temperature alert appears on the InfoCenter and machine functionality may be reduced.
Immediately drive the machine to a cool location out of the sun, turn off the machine, and allow the batteries to cool fully before resuming operation. If the batteries continue to overheat, another alert appears on the InfoCenter and the machine will shut off.
-
Use lights only when it is necessary.
Maintaining the Battery Charger
Important: All electrical repairs should be performed by an Authorized Service Dealer only.
The charger requires little maintenance other than protecting it from damage and weather.
-
Coil the cord and place it into the storage compartment when not in use.
