CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
BATTERY METER
Since the snow thrower battery is shipped in a low
charge condition, the battery must be charged before
use. The battery has 3 LED lights to indicate battery
capacity. These lights will only illuminate when the light
indicator button is pushed.
If three GREEN lights illuminate, the battery is charged
and ready for use. Two green lights are equal to 25%-
80% charge, while one green light is equal to 5%-25%
charge.
It is recommended to charge battery pack when one light
is illuminated.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The snow thrower comes with a maintenance free,
sealed, 40 volt storage battery.
Charge the battery pack only with the charger
provided.
Allow at least two hours of charge time before initial
use of the snow thrower.
Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, 60Hz, AC only.
The battery should be charged in a cool, dry place.
To improve battery life, store battery indoors in a
controlled climate. Fully charge battery pack every
3 months.
Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does
not have to be fully discharged before recharging.
2 to 3 initial charging/discharging cycles may be
required to achieve maximum run time/capacity.
When fully charged, the battery can be safely stored
in temperatures down to –4˚F(-20˚C) for a period of
up to one month before requiring charging. Fully
charge battery pack every 3 months.
The battery charger should be operated in
temperatures between 32˚F and 100˚F(0˚C and
37.8˚C).
TO CHARGE
Insert the 120 volt plug of the charger into the wall
receptacle. Light A will illuminate and stay green.
(Fig. 30)
Fig. 30
Place the battery pack into the charger by sliding
the pack as shown in Fig. 13 to lock it into position.
Light B will illuminate red to indicate that the battery
is charging and the three lights on the battery pack
will cycle in green.
When the battery pack is fully charged, light B will
turn green and the lights on the battery pack will shut
off. (Fig 31)
NOTE: Typical time required to reach a full charge is
2 1/2 hours.
NOTE: If light A remains green while light B alternately
flashes red and green, this indicates a temperature
abnormality (i.e. that the battery pack is either too hot or
too cold). If there is only a red blinking light, this indicates
that something is wrong with the battery. Contact
Earthwise customer service center at 1-800-633-1501 for
assistance.
If the charging light indicator Light B alternately blinks red
and green or it does not come on at all, check that the
battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove the pack
and reinsert. If the problem persists, contact the
Earthwise customer service center at 1-800-633-1501 for
assistance.
