Maintenance - Club Car Carryall I 2000 Owner's Manual

1. Unload the vehicle completely, so that only minimum vehicle weight will be on the tires.
2. Fully charge batteries. See Batteries, Page 22.
3. Wash off any corrosion around the terminals with a solution of baking soda and water, then rinse the
baking soda solution from the batteries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Let the termi-
nals dry and coat them with Battery Terminal Spray, Club Car Part No. 1014305.
CAUTION
• DO NOT ALLOW BAKING SODA SOLUTION TO ENTER THE BATTERIES.
4. Store in a cool, dry place. This will prevent battery self-discharge.
5. Inflate tires to rated capacities. See Tire Capacities, Page 22.
6. Grease front suspension and do all other semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication
Schedule, Page 20.
7. Thoroughly clean body, seats, cargo bed, battery compartment, and vehicle underside.
8. Do not latch the park brake. Block tires to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
9. Leave PowerDrive System 48 vehicles with PowerDrive chargers plugged in during storage. The Pow-
erDrive storage charge feature will automatically charge batteries as needed. See Batteries, Page 22.

• A POWERDRIVE SYSTEM 48 VEHICLE WILL NOT OPERATE WHILE PLUGGED TO A
CHARGER.

BATTERY CABLES AS SHOWN (FIGURE 1, PAGE 2).

MAINTENANCE

Read DANGER and WARNING on page 3.
GENERAL INFORMATION
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive mainte-
nance program (regularly scheduled service, even though the vehicle is functional). Regular and consistent
vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive repairs that result from neglect. Any vehi-
cle not functioning correctly should be removed from use until it is properly repaired. This will prevent further
damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to unsafe conditions.
Contact a local Club Car distributor/dealer to perform all repairs and semiannual and annual periodic service.
WARNING
• IF ANY PROBLEMS ARE FOUND DURING SCHEDULED INSPECTION OR SERVICE, DO NOT
OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE. FAILURE TO MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS
COULD RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
