Battery + Charger

Safety Instructions

We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe, durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling of the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care of high-performance batteries are the main factors responsible for personal and/or product damage.
WARNING! Use only approved replacement batteries; other batteries may damage the lawn mower and cause it to malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, charge the iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery packs only in the designated iON+ 24V lithium-ion charger. Other types of chargers present risk of fire, personal injury and damage. Do not wire the battery packs to a power supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Such misuse will permanently disable or damage the battery packs.
Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the battery packs in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations. Do not use the battery packs or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing the battery packs, which could lead to a fire.
Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near charging battery packs. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the batteries are 41°F (5°C) to 104°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the batteries outside in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger, pull the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress when the charger is in use. Do not use the charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a damaged charger immediately.
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary – Using the wrong, damaged or improperly wired extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the charger into a properly wired 16 AWG or larger extension cord with the female plug matching the male plug on the charger. Make sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.
Charger 24VCHRG-DPC is rated for 120 volt AC only – The charger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
Use only recommended attachments – Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger or battery pack manufacturer may result in risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
Unplug charger when not in use – Make sure to remove battery packs from unplugged chargers.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.

Do not burn or incinerate battery packs – Battery packs may explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – Do not use the battery packs or charger if they have sustained a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or have been damaged in any way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on, etc.).
Do not disassemble – Incorrect reassembly may pose a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic battery chemicals. If the batteries or charger are damaged, please contact an authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth.
- If a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash the affected area with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
Do not short circuit – A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit, such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a risk of fire and severe personal injury.
Store your battery packs and charger in a cool, dry place – Do not store the battery packs or charger where temperatures may exceed 105ºF (40.5ºC), such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the summer.

Information about the batteries

The battery packs supplied with your cordless lawn mower are only partially charged. The battery packs have to be charged completely before you use the tool for the first time.
For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery packs frequently.
Store the battery packs in a cool place, ideally at 77°F (25°C) and charged to at least 40%.
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery packs must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in aged battery packs are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your cordless lawn mower, and therefore pose a safety risk.
Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion.
Do not ignite the battery packs or expose them to fire.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the batteries falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery packs in long-term storage only after they have been fully charged.
Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent externally.
Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries that have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or those that have been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery packs appear to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
If the battery packs suffer overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for safety reasons. If this situation happens, stop the tool and let the batteries cool down for a few minutes before restarting.
Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.

Information about the charger and the charging process

Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage. Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay by a qualified technician at an authorized Snow Joe® +Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Keep the battery charger, battery packs and the cordless tool out of the reach of children.
Do not use the battery charger to charge other
cordless tools.
During periods of heavy use, the battery packs will become warm. Allow the battery packs to cool to room temperature before inserting them into the charger to recharge.
Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of charged or partially charged battery packs will result in overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.
Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that it has been more than 12 months since the last time they were charged. There is a high probability that the battery packs have already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
Charging batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
Do not use batteries that have suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.)
Never fully discharge the battery packs (maximum recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete discharge of the battery packs will lead to premature aging of the battery cells.

Protection from environmental influences

Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapors and flammable liquids.
Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry conditions and at an ambient temperature of 41°F – 105ºF (5°C – 40.5°C).
Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature is liable to reach over 105°F (40.5°C). In particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries that have been overheated – replace them immediately, if possible.
Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry locations with an ambient temperature of 41ºF – 105°F (5°C – 40.5°C). Store your lithium-ion battery packs in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 77°F (25°C). Protect the battery packs, charger and cordless tool from humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in storage (charged to at least 40%).
Prevent the lithium-ion battery packs from freezing. Battery packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes must be discarded.
When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge. Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.

Operation

This lawn mower is intended for private residential use to cut grass in small lawns and gardens. This lawn mower is not intended to cut grass in public parks, playing fields, farms or forests. Do not use this lawn mower for any application other than that for which it is intended.

Adjusting the Cutting Height
This cordless lawn mower is equipped with a 7-position height adjustment lever to tailor grass cutting heights from 1.2 in. to 3.5 in. (30 mm to 90 mm). To change the cutting height of the grass, follow the instructions below.

WARNING! Before making these adjustments, remove the batteries and the safety key from the lawn mower and wait until the rotating blade has come to a complete standstill.
ALWAYS FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS LISTED PREVIOUSLY IN THIS MANUAL.

Power off the lawn mower and remove the batteries and the safety key.
Push the cutting height adjustment lever to the outside of the original slot (Fig. 13).
Insert the lever into the desired slot.
7- Position Height Adjustment (From front to rear):
1.2 in. (30 mm)
1.6 in. (40 mm)
2.0 in. (50 mm)
2.4 in. (60 mm)
2.8 in. (70 mm)
3.1 in. (80 mm)
3.5 in. (90 mm)
Reinsert the batteries and the safety key to the lawn mower and resume normal use.

Starting + Stopping
WARNING! Before switching on the mower, make sure that it is not in contact with any foreign objects. Keep your hands and feet a safe distance away from the rotating mower blade and the ejector opening. Failure to comply with these warnings can result in severe personal injury.

IMPORTANT: Do not start the mower in tall grass.

Make sure the unit’s switch lever is not squeezed on. Insert the batteries and the safety key in their slots (Fig. 14). Close the battery compartment cover.
To start the machine, press and hold the safety lock button while pulling the switch lever toward you (Fig. 15).
Once the machine powers on, release the safety lock button and proceed with operation.
To stop the mower, release the switch lever.

WARNING! The mower blade will continue to rotate for a brief period after the unit has been switched off. Do not tilt or carry the unit while the motor is still running and do not touch the blade while it is still rotating. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury.

Grass Bag Filling Level Indicator

The grass bag is equipped with a filling level indicator window that is opened by the airflow that the lawn mower generates during operation (Fig. 16).
If the flap closes during mowing, this indicates that the grass bag is full and must be emptied.

NOTE: To ensure that the filling level indicator functions properly, keep the holes under the flap clean and permeable.

Mowing Tips
WARNING! Inspect the area prior to mowing and remove all the stones, sticks, wires and other foreign objects that could be picked up and thrown by the rotating blade. Failure to comply not only will damage the mower blade, but can also lead to serious personal injury.

Be sure to check the mowing blade periodically for signs of wear and replace as needed, as described in the maintenance section.
NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially when cutting tall blades of grass.
When cutting thick grass, reduce your walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less from the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1.5 in. to 2 in. (3.8 cm to 5 cm) long during cool months, and more than 2 in.(5 cm) long during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in the fall.
The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same height and in alternate directions.
When crossing any graveled surfaces, release the switch bar lever to turn off the mower. The stones can be picked up and thrown by the rotating blade.
Set the mower to the highest cutting height when mowing on uneven ground or in tall weeds.
- WARNING! If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor and remove the batteries. Thoroughly inspect the mower and repair any damage before resuming work.
- IMPORTANT! Never open the ejector flap when the grass collection bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the motor is still running. A rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the ejector flap and grass collection bag. Switch off the motor before emptying the grass collection bag. Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the length of the long handles) is maintained between the user and the mower housing. Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes and inclines.
Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always mow across an incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used to mow inclines with gradients exceeding 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn mower towards you as such maneuvering of the machine poses a tripping hazard.
For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass; it tends to stick to the underside of the deck, preventing the proper mulching of grass clippings. The best time to mow grass is in the late afternoon, when the grass is dry and the newly cut area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
For the best mulching performance, set the cutting height to remove approximately one third of the grass length, ideally no more than 1.5 in. at one time. If the grass is overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cut height to make it easier to mow and to prevent overloading the motor. Slow your cutting pace in tall or thick grass conditions. For mulching extremely thick or tall grass, it is advisable to first cut at a high cut-height setting, and then re-cut to the final cut height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow slowly. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS SHARP

Maintenance + Care

WARNING! Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting the mower, stop the machine, remove the batteries and the safety key. Verify that all moving parts have come to a complete stop.

General

Always keep the mower clean and free of grass, dirt or other debris.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease.
After each cutting session, remove accumulated grass clippings and debris using either a dry cloth or hand brush. You may also clean the equipment with a damp cloth and some soft, non-abrasive soap. Do not use cleaning agents or harsh solvents as they may damage the equipment’s plastic components. Make sure that no water penetrates the equipment’s interior as intake of water can destroy the switch mechanism and the electric motor.
Do not clean the lawn mower with running water, particularly with high-pressure water.
Check all nuts, bolts and screws for proper tightness before each use.
Frequently inspect the grass collection bag assembly for signs of wear and replace immediately with a genuine part if damage is found.
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.
To maximize your mower’s longevity, all screwed parts, including the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and lubricated. There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance or lubrication.

Blade Maintenance
IMPORTANT: The mower blade is sharp and can cause severe personal injury if handled incorrectly. Wrap the blade or wear protective gloves, and use extra caution when handling.

The steel blade is designed to provide a fine cut in long or tough grass. Deterioration in the quality of cut indicates blade wear or damage. Follow these steps to determine if the blade needs to be resharpened or replaced:

Disconnect the power supply to the mower by removing the batteries and the safety key.
Turn the mower on its side to expose the underside of the blade housing.
Check the blade.
If the blade is blunt or has minor wear, then resharpen.
If the blade shows signs of major wear or damage (i.e. gouged, bent), replace.

WARNING! An excessively vibrating mower indicates that the blade is not properly balanced or has become deformed from striking an object. In this case, the blade must be repaired or replaced. Please follow the proper maintenance procedures for blade care.

Blade Replacement
IMPORTANT: Only use original replacement parts specified for this mower. The use of parts that do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance of the lawn mower, may compromise operator safety.

Remove the batteries and the safety key from the mower.
Turn the mower on its side to expose the underside of the blade housing.
Use a cloth to grip the blade or wear heavy-duty gloves.
Using a 27 mm lug wrench (not provided), remove the lug nut securing the blade by turning the lug nut counterclockwise, then carefully remove the blade (Figs. 17 to 18).
Fit the new blade on the same position and secure with the original lug nut (Fig. 19).

Storage

Follow the steps below to prepare the lawn mower for storage

Remove the batteries and the safety key from the battery compartment.
Remove the grass collection bag. Engage the height adjustment lever in the lowest cutting height slot.
Clean the mower with a damp cloth or hand brush.
Inspect the mower carefully for worn, loose or damaged parts. Check connections and screws and tighten if necessary. Pay special attention to the mower blade and replace/sharpen if it shows signs of wear. Refer to the Maintenance and Care section.
Store the mower indoors in a dry, clean and cool area out of the reach of children. Do not store the unit next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer and rock salt.
Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower, which can damage the unit.
Press down the handle releasing button located on the middle bar of the handle frame, meanwhile push the upper handle frame to insert it into the lower handle frame.
Press and hold the handle latch. Gently pivot the handle frame toward the front of the mower until you hear and feel the handle frame locks in the storage position (Fig. 20).
