POWER GRADER

Caring for the Battery

Proper care can lengthen the life of a battery. Follow these recommendations to ensure your Battery’s best

performance and long life:

• Do not continue to operate your DR POWER GRADER with a low Battery.

• Try to keep your Battery at full charge to maximize its life. If the machine is not used, charge the Battery

monthly. See “Charging the Battery” on page 16.

• Before charging the Battery, observe its external appearance and keep it clean and dry. Never charge or

use a Battery that shows cracks, changes shape, leaks, or otherwise obviously damaged.

• Recharge a Battery before fully discharged. NEVER allow the Battery to run down completely before

charging. Leaving the Battery discharged damages the Battery. Charge the Battery at least once per

month, even if you have not used your DR POWER GRADER.

• If the Battery begins to leak, avoid contact with the leaking acid. Place the damaged Battery in a plastic

bag, then dispose of it properly.

IF BATTERY ACID DOES CONTACT YOUR SKIN OR EYES, FLUSH WITH COOL WATER FOR AT LEAST 15

MINUTES AND CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF ACID IS INGESTED, CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

Recycling a Used Battery

PLEASE DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES RESPONSIBLY, ACCORDING TO YOUR LOCAL HAZARDOUS

Please dispose of your used Batteries responsibly by recycling them. Call your local Solid Waste

sites recycle Batteries year-round; others collect them periodically.
