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 CAU- TION.
Page 12
SAFETY General Warning ý WARNING • Follow the procedures exactly as stated in this manual, and heed all DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION statements in this manual as well as those on the vehicle. • Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle. Anyone doing even simple repairs or service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair.
SAFETY General Warning ý WARNING • For vehicles with cargo beds, remove all cargo before raising the bed or servicing the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a prop rod, ensure that it is securely engaged while bed is raised.
SAFETY General Warning CONNECTING THE BATTERIES – ELECTRIC VEHICLES 1. Ensure the Tow/Run switch is in the TOW position. 2. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first. 3. Tighten battery terminals to 110 in-lb (12.4 N·m). 4. Coat terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CC P/N 1014305) to minimize corrosion. Place Tow/Run FRONT Switch in TOW.

GENERAL INFORMATION Storage – Electric Vehicle 1. Check the water levels in each battery cell. If water is required, fill the cells to cover the plates, charge the batteries, and then use distilled water to fill each cell to the correct level. Electrolyte level should be from 1/2 inch (13 mm) above plates to 1/4 inch (6 mm) below the level indicator.
GENERAL INFORMATION Storage – Electric Vehicle CAUT ION • Be sure to check the batteries and charger monthly to maintain correct battery water level and to ensure the charger is operating correctly during storage. 12. To disconnect the batteries for storage: 12.1.
