battery and cannot be replaced. Battery hold-downs should NOT be so tight as to crack or buckle the battery case. This
may cause leaks which would dry out a cell or cause internal short circuits.
See Battery Replacement on page 15-9.
SINGLE POINT WATERING SYSTEM (SPWS)
WARNING
• When replacing batteries in the Single Point Watering System, place the battery cap from the new
replacement battery onto the used battery being removed from the car. Important safety warnings on
the battery cap must remain with the battery after it has been removed from the car
CAUTION
• Water the batteries only AFTER charging.
• Use water that meets the quality standards shown on page 15-9. Maximize battery life by removing
ions and heavy metals from water with the use of a single point watering system deionizer. A deionizer
for vehicles with SPWS, Club Car Part Number AM1240701 (110/115 volt AC), is available from Service
Parts. Replacement cartridge: AM1240801. Bottled distilled water, with hand pump, Club Car Part
Number AM1238501, is recommended for private consumer applications.
INITIAL MAINTENANCE OF THE SPWS
After six weeks of operation, remove the valves from the batteries and manually check the battery water level to ensure
that the SPWS is not leaving any cells dry. This initial electrolyte level check on all the battery cells verifies that all the
valves in the SPWS are functioning correctly. If a valve fails to open, the cell will eventually dry out. The initial one-time
inspection of all cells will identify any occurrence of a valve that fails to open. If a valve fails to close, it will become
evident due to the cell overflowing during routine watering. Either failure scenario is rare, but should be monitored in the
initial inspection and during routine watering sessions. Replace malfunctioning valves to ensure maximum battery life.
After the initial six-week inspection, manually check the battery water levels at least once per year, particularly after
winter storage or any other period of vehicle inactivity.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
For the longest battery life, be sure the mineral contents of the water meet the minimum requirements as
stated in the vehicle’s appropriate maintenance and service manual.
See Battery Care on page 15-9.
WATERING BATTERIES WITH THE SPWS
Checking the Water Flow Rate
1.
Connect the water hose with the built-in screen filter (2) to the water faucet (1)
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Make sure the screen filter is clean.
• Do not use a longer garden hose than provided with the System (20 feet), as a decrease in water
pressure could overfill the batteries and damage the refill system.
2.
Before screwing the hose-end assembly (3) onto the opposite end of the water hose, check the screen filter (4)
inside the end of the assembly to make sure it is clean
