Batteries and Battery Charging

Your model uses a rechargeable battery that must be 
handled with care for safety and long battery life. Make

mind.

See “Charging the Battery Pack” on page 6. 

•  Never leave the battery to charge unattended.

transported.

•  Allow the battery pack to cool off between runs (before 

charging).

•  Do not use battery packs that have been damaged in 

any way.

•  Do not use battery packs that have damaged wiring, 

exposed wiring, or a damaged connector. 

•  Children should have responsible adult supervision 

when charging and handling batteries.
