Battery Charger - Club Car Carryall I 2000 Owner's Manual

NOTE
• A BATTERY WATERING GUN OR BOTTLE IS AVAILABLE AT MANY AUTO PARTS DEALERS.
3. The hold-down straps should be tight enough so batteries do not move while the vehicle is in motion,
but not so tight as to crack or buckle the battery case. Tighten hold-down retaining nuts to 40 in.lb (4.5
N-m). The terminal connections should be clean and tight, and any worn insulation or frayed wires
should be replaced. Tighten battery terminals to 110 in.lb (12.4 N-m). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• IF BATTERY WIRE TERMINALS ARE DAMAGED OR CORRODED, THEY SHOULD BE
REPLACED OR CLEANED AS NECESSARY. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE THEM TO
OVERHEAT DURING OPERATION.
4. After use, the batteries should be placed on charge. The batteries should never be left discharged any
longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave batteries discharged overnight).

BATTERY CHARGER

DANGER
• BATTERIES EMIT HYDROGEN WHILE BEING CHARGED. HYDROGEN IS AN EXPLOSIVE
GAS. IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A WEATHERPROOF ENCLOSURE, IT SHOULD
BE UNZIPPED AND PULLED BACK WHILE BATTERIES ARE BEING CHARGED. THIS IS TO
AVOID THE ACCUMULATION OF HYDROGEN GAS INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE.
• THE CHARGING AREA MUST BE VENTILATED. TO PREVENT A BUILDUP OF EXPLOSIVE
GAS, HYDROGEN LEVEL IN THE AIR MUST NEVER EXCEED 2%. THE TOTAL VOLUME OF AIR
IN THE BUILDING MUST BE CHANGED FIVE TIMES PER HOUR. EXHAUST FANS SHOULD BE
LOCATED AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE ROOF. CONTACT A LOCAL HVAC ENGINEER.
WARNING
• ONLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS SHOULD REPAIR OR SERVICE THE CHARGER. CONTACT A
CLUB CAR DISTRIBUTOR/DEALER.
• EACH CHARGER SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN DEDICATED 15 OR 20 AMPERE SEPARATELY
PROTECTED (CIRCUIT BREAKER OF FUSE) SINGLE PHASE BRANCH CIRCUIT, IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES FOR THE LOCATION.
• BE SURE WIRE CONNECTIONS AT THE RECEPTACLE AND FUSE LINK ARE CLEAN AND TIGHT.
• HAVE WORN, CUT, OR DAMAGED POWER CORDS OR WIRES REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
• DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR ANY LIQUID. KEEP THE CHARGER DRY.
• DO NOT USE NEAR FUELS, GRAIN DUST, SOLVENTS, THINNERS, OR OTHER FLAMMABLES.
CHARGERS CAN IGNITE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.
• CONNECT THE CHARGER AC SUPPLY CORD TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED, THREE-WIRE
OUTLET OF THE PROPER VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY AS SHOWN ON THE CHARGER.
• DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER TO PLUG THE CHARGER WITH A THREE-PRONG PLUG INTO A
TWO-PRONG OUTLET. IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING
CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A FIRE OR AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
