Cleaning The Vehicle; Accessories - Club Car 2002 Pioneer 1200 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
• 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.
Be sure battery clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 12 ft-lb (16.3 N·m). A loose clamp may allow the bat-
tery to become damaged from vibration or jarring.
If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged
any longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).

CLEANING THE VEHICLE

The vehicle is equipped with an ABS/DR acrylic front body, an all-aluminum rear body, and a powder-coated
steel cargo bed. Use a commercially available automotive cleaning solution with a sponge or soft cloth for nor-
mal cleaning. A garden hose at normal residential water pressure is adequate. To remove oxidation or discol-
oration from aluminum, use a commercially available aluminum cleaner paste and fine grade (No. 00) steel
wool.
Club Car 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.
Use non-abrasive wax products. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should
be removed immediately to prevent possible stains.
The front body is made of an ABS/DR acrylic material similar to the material used to manufacture hot tubs
and shower/tub units. Cleaning and repair techniques for the front body are the same as those used on con-
ventional acrylic sheet. Repair kits, cleaning and polishing products may be purchased at any hardware store
where ABS/DR acrylic (hot tubs and shower/tub units) are sold.
The seats of the vehicle will last longer with proper cleaning. Use a solution of 10% liquid soap and warm
water applied with a soft cloth. For imbedded dirt, a soft bristle brush may be used. For heavy soiling, difficult
stains, or scratches, blemishes, or other body damage, see Section 4 of the maintenance and service manual.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.

ACCESSORIES

There is a complete line of accessory equipment available from Club Car and our dealers. Care should be
taken that these accessories are properly installed by trained technicians, and that they are used in the man-
ner for which they were designed. See following WARNING.
