quieter. It has the added benefit of having batteries for complete portability.
1. Carefully unpack your Freeway Lite (keep the box as this may be required when
returning it for servicing).
2. Assemble your Freeway Lite as illustrated in the FEATURES Section of this manual.
3. Your battery pack will need to be charged before use (Refer to CHARGING THE
BATTERIES in the OPERATION Section of this manual).
4. Read these instructions completely before use.
5. Observe recommendations for maintenance and replacement.
OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Initial Battery Charging

NOTE: To maximize the capacity and life of the Freeway Lite rechargeable batteries,
FULLY charge them for 16 hours before initial use.
1. FULLY discharge the batteries by running the unit 20 minutes ON then 40 minutes
OFF until the unit no longer runs (This will take 2 to 3 - 20 minute run cycles.)
2. Next FULLY charge the batteries for 16 hours. Now the unit is ready for regular use
with the batteries.
NOTE: FULLY discharge, then charge the batteries once a month. During a 30 day period
(one [1] month) the batteries may be charged as often as deemed necessary. The batteries
MUST BE charged whenever the YELLOW light is illuminated. Refer to PROLONGING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERIES in the MAINTENANCE Section of this manual.
