SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Violation of any of these instructions may void any and all warranties.

Observe the following warning that appears on the battery charger:
Double insulated – Grounding not required. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this Charger has a Polarized Plug (one blade is wider than the other). This Plug will fit in a Polarized Outlet only one way. If the Plug does not fit fully in the Outlet, reverse the Plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper Outlet. Do not change the Plug in any way.

WARNING: This battery charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the battery charger by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the battery charger.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED BATTERY CHARGER

WARNING

In a double-insulated battery charger, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double- insulated battery charger requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts of a double-insulated battery charger must be identical to the parts they replace. Your double-insulated battery charger is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATED” and the symbol (square with a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, unplug power cord before servicing the electrical parts of the battery charger.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, unplug power cord before servicing the electrical parts of the battery charger

All disassembly and repairs should be performed by qualified personnel

OPERATION

This battery charger is intended to recharge ProTeam Lithium Ion batteries 107683 and 107684.

WARNING:

Charge in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT block charger vents.
Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation.

CHARGING PROTEAM LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACKS

Lithium Ion batteries deliver fade-free power for their entire run time. The equipment will perform at its normal performance level until the battery pack has been depleted. Once this happens, recharging of the battery pack is required. It is not necessary to drain the battery pack completely before recharging.

GoFit Lithium Ion battery packs operate over a narrow voltage range which allows the equipment to deliver a high level of performance throughout its entire run time. When the voltage drops to the specified lower limit, the battery pack will stop operating and will need to be recharged.

If none of the charger LEDs are lit at any point during the charging process, remove the battery pack from the charger to avoid damaging the product. DO NOT insert another battery pack. Contact ProTeam Customer Service with any issues.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION FEATURES

ProTeam 60V Lithium Ion battery packs are designed with features that protect the Lithium Ion cells and maximize life of battery pack. When the battery pack has reached its minimum voltage level the electronics inside the equipment will shut off the motor. Once the motor shuts off, the battery pack must be recharged.

Note: Prior to charging, the battery pack may be in Temperature Error mode for approximately an additional hour to allow the battery temperature to settle within the acceptable charging temperature range.

PREPARING BATTERY PACK FOR CHARGING

1. Plug the charger’s power cord into the charger (Figure A).
2. Plug the charger’s power cord into 120V wall outlet (Figure B).
3. Install battery pack on charger as shown
(Figure C).
4. The Charger indicator light will turn on solid red (standby) after inserting the battery. When charge cycle begins the indicator will change from solid red to flashing green. When Charger indicator light changes from flashing green to solid green, battery is 100% charged.
5. If the charger indicator light flashes red, remove the battery pack and then reinstall it. If it still flashes red, contact ProTeam Customer Service for further instructions.
6. If the charger indicator light flashes amber, there is a temperature- related error. Please let the battery pack rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour. The charger indicator light will turn flashing green, fan will turn on, and the battery pack will begin charging once the battery temperature settles within the acceptable charging temperature range.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

BATTERY PACKS

Battery packs for this product have been designed to provide maximum, trouble- free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. DO NOT disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the battery cells. Handling of these cells, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.

To obtain the longest possible battery pack life:

Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and ready for use.
Store the battery pack in a cool, dry location.
It is normal for Lithium Ion battery packs to lose charge during long periods of non-use. They should be charged at least every 3 months to maintain the battery pack life.

BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING

Recycling your old batteries is easy with the Call2Recycle program. Call2Recycle is a product stewardship program providing battery and cellphone recycling solutions across the U.S. and Canada.

For more information about the Call2Recycle program, or for more information about a local collection site visit www.call2recycle.org/locator or call the Call2Recycle toll free number 1-800-822-8837.

WARNING:

Before recycling, 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.
Lithium Ion battery packs must be recycled or disposed of properly. Never touch terminals with metal objects, as a short circuit can occur. Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.
