See General Warnings on page 10.
WARNING
•
Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle or battery charger. Wear a
full face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
•
Use insulated tools when working near batteries or electrical connections. Use extreme caution to
avoid shorting of components or wiring.
CAUTION
• On all vehicles, turn off all accessories before charging batteries.
NOTE:
Recycle or dispose of discarded batteries in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
Club Car electric vehicles may be equipped with gel cell or AGM (Absorbed Glass Mats) batteries which are not vented
and do not require water added periodically. Automotive batteries should never be used in electric vehicles.
New batteries will not deliver their full capabilities until they have been discharged and recharged 20 to 50 times. To
obtain the maximum service life from new batteries, restrict the use of vehicles with new batteries to one hour of
operation between charges for the first two months the vehicle is in service. Batteries should be fully charged before
first use of new vehicle, before first use of a vehicle after storage, and before releasing vehicle for use each day.
BATTERY CARE
Gel cell and AGM batteries are maintenance-free and do not need to be watered.
BATTERY CHARGER
Each electric vehicle is supplied with a fully automatic battery charger as standard equipment. Refer to the owner’s
manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.
CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Club Car Precedent vehicles are equipped with hand-washable front and rear bodies. Use only commercially
available automotive cleaners with a sponge or soft cloth for normal cleaning. A garden hose at normal residential
water pressure is adequate.
The manufacturer does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process will
expose electrical components to moisture. Moisture entering electrical components can result in water damage and
subsequent component failure.
Do not expose the high frequency charger to oil, dirt, or mud. Do not direct heavy water spray at the charger when
cleaning vehicle.
Keep all AC connections clean and dry.
Use non-abrasive wax products. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should be
removed immediately to prevent possible stains.
See following CAUTION.
