SECTION 1 – SAFETY To ensure the safety of those servicing Club Car vehicles, and to protect the vehicles from possible damage resulting from improper service or maintenance, the procedures in this manual must be followed. It is important to note that throughout this manual there are statements labeled DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
General Warnings SAFETY WARNING • Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle or battery charger. Anyone doing even simple repairs or service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair. The appropriate instructions must be used when performing maintenance, service, or accessory installation.
SAFETY General Warnings DISCONNECTING THE BATTERIES – ELECTRIC VEHICLES Disable the vehicle. See Disabling the Vehicle on page 1-2. Place Tow/Run switch in the TOW position before disconnecting or connecting the batteries. Failure to heed this warning could result in a battery explosion or severe personal injury. Disconnect the batteries, negative (–) cable first, as shown (Figure 1-1) or (Figure 1-2).
SAFETY must be shared, not only by the manufacturers of the batteries, but by people who use the batteries as well. Please contact your nearest Club Car dealer or distributor for information on how to properly recycle your batteries. 1403...

• Where golf cars should be driven. • Ensuring that proper warnings of driving hazards are displayed and visible. See below for list of signs available from Club Car Service Parts Department. • Who should and who should not drive golf cars.
GENERAL INFORMATION Storage CAUTION • Batteries in low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures. • To avoid exposing electrical components to moisture and subsequent damages, do not use any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning equipment to wash the vehicle. •...
Storage GENERAL INFORMATION RETURNING THE STORED ELECTRIC VEHICLE TO SERVICE If necessary, connect batteries. Fully charge batteries. WARNING • Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery. Frozen batteries can explode. Adjust tire to recommended pressure. See Section 2 – Vehicle Specifications. Perform the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist.
A garden hose at normal residential water pressure is adequate. Club Car does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process (especially if the vehicle has a Surlyn rear body that is removed) will expose electrical components to moisture. Moisture entering electrical components can result in water damage and subsequent component failure.
Front and Rear Body Repair BODY AND TRIM Difficult Stains: Dampen a soft, white cloth with a solution of 10% household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and 90% water. Rub gently to remove stain, then rinse with a water dampened cloth to remove bleach concentration. More Difficult Stains: Perform previous procedure using full-strength bleach, or allow bleach to puddle on affected area for approximately 30 minutes.

(17.7 km/h), with the accelerator pedal still released, motor braking will be deactivated and the vehicle will coast freely. This feature is selectable. Contact your Club Car dealer/distributor to inquire about this selectable feature. • Regenerative Braking: When motor braking is activated, the vehicle motor acts as a generator, slowing the vehicle as it creates energy that is used to charge the batteries.
Future IQ system controllers will have software to prevent this as well. Club Car recommends the use of the IQDM handset for troubleshooting vehicles equipped with the IQ electrical system. Troubleshooting Guide 1 is to be used in conjunction with the IQDM handset. See IQ Display Module (IQDM) and IQDM-P Diagnostics: IQ System on page 15-1 for operating instructions.

BATTERIES Battery Replacement BATTERY REPLACEMENT See General Warnings on page 1-1. WARNING • To prevent electrolyte leakage from the battery vents, batteries must be kept in an upright position. Tipping a battery beyond a 45° angle in any direction can allow a small amount of electrolyte to leak out the vent hole.

Battery Care BATTERIES WARNING • If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, replace or clean them as necessary. Failure to do so may cause them to overheat during operation and could result in fire, property damage, or personal injury. After use, charge the batteries.
BATTERIES Battery Care CAUTION • Do not overfill the batteries. NOTE: A battery watering gun or bottle is available at many auto parts dealers. The battery hold-downs should be tight enough so that the batteries do not move while the vehicle is in motion, but not so tight as to crack or buckle the battery case.
Battery Charger – High Frequency BATTERIES CAUTION 1. Level Indicator 2. Cap 3. Plates Electrolyte level at least 1/2 inch (13 MM) above plates or to level indicator. Figure 18-8 Battery Electrolyte Level Add water only after charging unless the electrolyte is below the level of the plates. If the electrolyte level is below the level of the plates, add just enough water to cover the plates and then charge the batteries.
WARNING • Only trained technicians should repair or service the charger. Contact your nearest Club Car distributor/dealer. • Each charger should have its own dedicated 15 or 20 ampere separately protected (circuit breaker or fuse) single phase branch circuit, in accordance with all applicable electrical codes for the location.
Battery Charger – Ferroresonant BATTERIES WARNING • Do not allow clothing, blankets, or other material to cover the charger. • Do not allow the charger to operate for more than 30 minutes at 19 or more amperes. • Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines. Surge arrestors will help protect electrical components in the charger and on the vehicle from all but direct or close lightning strikes.

When inserting the DC plug, align the raised guide on the plug with the guide slot in the receptacle and push straight in slowly. Club Car battery chargers interact with the vehicle’s onboard computer. The computer records the amount of energy consumed during vehicle use. While the charger is plugged in, the vehicle’s control circuit is locked out, preventing operation of the vehicle as well as the possibility of consequent damage to the charger and the vehicle.
Batteries should be put on charge even if they have been used for only a short period (10 minutes). The charger is automatic and will turn off when batteries are fully charged. If the charger does not seem to be operating properly, or if the batteries seem weak, contact your local Club Car distributor/dealer. PLUG AND RECEPTACLE The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily.
