FOR
USE
Lead acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and
long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and
more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic
charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is
not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at
least every 30 days.
NOTE:
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life;
frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will
reduce battery life. The battery can be recharged using the built-in 120 V AC
charger.
NOTE:
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during
recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
Important
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit
with a household extension cord (not supplied) for a full 40 hours
before using for the first time.
You cannot overcharge the unit using
the AC charging method.
•
To recharge this unit, use only the built-in AC charger.
•
All On/Off switches should be in the Off position when the unit is
charging or not in use. Make sure all switches are in the Off position before
connection to a power source or load.
