Battery Charging - Cushman LSV 800 INTL Owner's Manual

Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Hand held watering devices available at an automotive parts
store, or automatic watering devices like the one included in
the E-Z-GO Battery Maintenance Kit (P/N 25587G01) can be
used with an approved water supply. These watering devices
are accurate, easy to use and allow for fast fill. They also
keep the correct electrolyte level within the battery cells.
The watering device must only be used if the electrolyte
level is less than 1/2" (13 mm) above top of plates.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solution that can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes.
Clean all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with clear water. Contact a physician immediately.

Battery Charging

The battery charger is designed to completely charge the battery set. If the batteries are severely deep cycled, some
automatic chargers contain an electronic module that will not activate, and the charger will not operate. Automatic char-
gers determine the correct length of charge to the battery set and turns off when the batteries are charged. Always refer
to the instructions of the charger used.
Do not overfill batteries. The charge cycle will expel electrolyte and cause component damage.
Before charging, the following must be observed:
• The electrolyte level in all cells must be at the recommended level and above the plates.
• The charging must occur in an area with good ventilation to remove hydrogen gas that accumulates during the
charge cycle. A minimum of five air replacements for each hour is recommended.
• The charger connector components must be in good condition and free from dirt and particles.
• The charger connector must be completely installed in the vehicle receptacle.
• The charger connector and cord set must be protected from damage. The charger connector and cord set must
be used in an area where it is not possible for personnel to run over or trip over the cord set.
To clean an electrolyte spill, use a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda) mixed with 1 quart (1 liter) of water.
Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when you add
