4. Check and clean the battery rack and hold-downs. The nuts and bolts on the hold-downs may corrode.
It is therefore advised that they be cleaned periodically and replaced as necessary.
5. Install the batteries in the proper orientation (Figure 22-5 or Figure 22-6). Install the battery hold-
downs. The hold-downs should be tight enough so the batteries do not move while the car is in motion,
but not so tight as to crack or buckle the battery case. Torque to 40 in.lbs. (4.5 N-m), alternating
between hold-down bolts.
6. Install wires in proper sequence (Figure 22-5 or Figure 22-6). Install black wire to negative post of bat-
tery No. 6 last. Make sure all connections are tight. Torque to 125-140 in.lbs. (14.1/16.4 N-m). Coat all
terminals with Battery Protector Spray (CLUB CAR Part No.1014305) to minimize future corrosion.
• V-Glide 36 volt only - Be sure wire on lower left of F&R switch goes to battery No.1 positive post. Wire
on lower right of F&R switch goes to battery No. 4 positive post. This applies to vehicles equipped with
resistor coil type speed controls only.
7. Give the batteries a full charge prior to sending them out on the golf course. This ensures that all the
batteries are fully charged and the cells are equalized prior to use.
BATTERY CARE
Preventive Maintenance
To keep batteries in good operating condition, follow these steps on a regular basis.
1. Any corrosion build-up on or around batteries should be removed immediately. Terminal connections
should be clean and tight. Any frayed or worn wires should be replaced. After all cables have been con-
nected, coat all terminals with Battery Protector Spray (CLUB CAR Part No.1014305) to ward off future
corrosion.
2. Batteries should be kept clean and dry to prevent self-discharge. Any dirt, grime or acid spillage should
be removed. Wash batteries with a bristle brush using water and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda - 1
cup per gallon of water). Rinse with water. Do not allow solution to enter battery through the vent cap
holes (See Self Discharge, Page 22-6).
3. Maintain proper water level (See Water Level, Figure 22-7, Page 22-6).
4. Batteries should be properly charged every day they are used. Check the batteries periodically to see
that they are in a full state of charge (See Battery Charging, Page 22-7).
5. Keep hold-downs tight (See Vibration Damage, Page 22-7).
