Storage - Gasoline Vehicles - Club Car Turf 1 2007 Owner's Manual

PREPARING THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1. Unload the vehicle so that tires are supporting only the weight of the vehicle.
2. Fully charge batteries. See Charging Batteries on page 51.
3. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
4. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.
5. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications – Electric Vehicles on
page 59.
6. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication Schedules on page 45.
7. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, cargo bed, battery compartment, and underside of vehicle.
8. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
9. Keep batteries fully charged during storage.
• Leave battery chargers plugged in during storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate
the charger when necessary. If charger cannot remain plugged in, or AC power will not be available
during extended storage, disconnect the batteries for storage (Figure 3, Page 19).
CAUT ION
• Be sure to check the batteries and charger monthly to maintain correct battery water level and
ensure the charger is operating correctly during storage.
RETURNING THE STORED ELECTRIC VEHICLE TO SERVICE
1. If necessary, connect batteries and tighten terminals to 110 in-lb (12.4 N·m).
2. Fully charge batteries.
3. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications – Electric Vehicles on
page 59.
4. Perform the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 29 and the Performance Inspection on
page 30.
