Replacing The Batteries - Ryobi RY48ZTR75 Manuel D'utilisation

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

See Figure 25 - 32.
NOTE: Only use RYOBI Electric Riding Lawn Mower 75Ah
(LPC12-75) or 100Ah (LPC12-100) lead acid batteries.
This mower operates on four 12 volt batteries connected in
a series. If replacing one or more of the batteries, always
replace using a battery of the same type with equal voltage
and capacity.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 and rubber gloves when replac-
ing the batteries. Failure to do so could result in objects
being thrown into your eyes or other serious personal
injury.
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electro-
lyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or
skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The batteries
could explode. Check with local codes for possible spe-
cial disposal instructions.
Do not expose the battery to rain or keep in damp loca-
tions. Water and liquids can come in contact with the
battery and damage connections and electronic compo-
nents, which can result in a short circuit, increased risk
of fire, and serious personal injury.
When batteries are not in use, keep away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short
the battery with conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may over-
heat and cause serious burns.
NOTICE:
Use only identical lead acid batteries when replacing.
Never mix different makes and sizes of batteries in the
series. Doing so will eventually cause damage to the
batteries and may also damage the mower.
 Park the mower on a level surface, stop the motor, remove
the start key, and set the parking brake.
 Place the drive levers in the open position.
