Battery Storage and Disposal
The drive battery should be charged when
depleted, or if not used regularly, once a
month. Failure to charge the battery as
directed will cause permanent damage to the
battery and will void the warranty.
Follow these guidelines if the battery is
removed:
• Do not store battery in extreme hot or cold
temperatures.
• Wipe the battery clean with a dry cloth
prior to storage. Wash cloth separate from
other clothes.
BATTERY DISPOSAL:
• The sealed lead-acid battery must be re-
cycled or disposed of in an environmentally
sound manner.
• Do not dispose of battery in a fi re. The bat-
tery may explode or leak acid.
• Do not dispose of the battery in house-
hold trash. The incineration, land fi lling or
mixing of sealed lead-acid batteries with
household trash is prohibited by law.
• Return an exhausted battery to a federal or
state approved lead-acid battery recycler,
such as a local seller of automotive bat-
teries (check local battery disposal regula-
tions).
