Ryobi AM00180 Battery Charger User Manual


 
Three lights indicate a 50-80% charge. Two lights indicate a 30-50% charge.
If one light illuminates, the battery will soon require charging. It is recom-
mended that the battery be charged at this point. The battery is at 5-30%
charge when one light illuminates.
If no lights illuminate, the battery must be charged IMMEDIATELY before use.
There is less than 5% of battery charge remaining if none of the lights come on.
NOTE: When none of the lights are on, you must stop the mower and charge
the battery immediately, or it will reduce the life of the battery.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
See Figures 1-2.
WARNING:
Always remove the fuse key and store it in a separate location out of
the reach of children when the mower is charging or not in use. Failure
to remove the fuse key may result in accidental starting or unauthorized
use and cause serious personal injury.
The battery should be charged in a cool, dry place. The battery charger
should be operated in temperatures between 23
°F and 104°F
.
Charge the battery only with the charger provided.
The battery may be charged while it is connected to the mower, or while
it is disconnected from the mower.

Allow at least 10-12 hours of charge time before initial use of the mower.
The charger may remain connected to the battery pack any time the
mower is not in use.
To improve battery life, store battery indoors in a controlled climate.
The battery does not have to be fully discharged before recharging.
Two to three 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 -40
°F for a period of up to two weeks, before it requires charging
.
To charge:
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 120 volts, AC
only, 60 Hz.
Remove the
fuse key and store in separate location out of reach of chil-
dren
.
Remove the cover from the battery receptacle.
Plug the charger connector into the receptacle on the mower battery.
Insert the 120 volt plug of the charger into the wall receptacle.
The red light on the charger should come on, indicating you have power
and the battery is being charged. The red light should change to a green
light when charging is complete. A fully discharged mower will charge in
approximately 10-12 hours.
When charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the battery, and
replace the receptacle cover.
CAUTION:
If at any point during the charging process none of the LEDs on charger
are lit, remove the battery pack from the charger to avoid damaging the
product. DO NOT insert another battery. Return the charger and battery
to your nearest service center for service or replacement.
CAUTION:
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block charger vents. Keep them
clear to allow proper ventilation.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
See Figure 2.
The mower battery is designed for maximum life; however, like all batteries,
it will eventually need to be replaced.
Charge the new battery before use. See Charging the Battery in the Operation
section of this manual.
To install a new battery:
Remove the fuse key.
Carefully lift the old battery by the handle.
Install the new battery.
Take the old battery to a recycling center that accepts lead acid batteries.

WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet;
therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of pos-
sible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This
will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery
pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A
damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped
or damaged battery immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as
a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any
cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Recommended charger:
MODEL CHARGER
AM00180 (31104250G) QL-91435A-4801800H
(31109250G)
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged
and ready for use.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location
where the temperature is more than 23°F but less than 104°F. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in
vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage
may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash imme-
diately with soap and water, then neutralize with baking soda. If
liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least
10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to
instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also to prevent misuse of the product and
possible injury.

Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s terminals with heavy-duty adhesive
tape. Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any
of its components. Lead acid batteries must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects and/or body
parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply
with these warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.
BATTERY METER

appropriée.
Les batteries dégagent de l’hydrogène et peuvent exploser en
présence d’une source d’allumage, telle qu’une veilleuse. Pour réduire
les risques de blessures graves, ne jamais utiliser un appareil sans fil, quel
qu’il soit, en présence d’une flamme vive. En explosant, une batterie peut
projeter des débris et des produits chimiques. En cas d’exposition, rincer
immédiatement les parties atteintes avec de l’eau.
Ne pas recharger le bloc de batteries dans un endroit humide ou
mouillé. Le respect de cette règle réduira les risques de choc électrique.
