DANGER
• Do not charge the vehicle batteries with the vehicle covered or enclosed. Any enclosure or cover
should be removed or unzipped and pulled back when batteries are being charged. An accumulation
of hydrogen gas can result in an explosion.
• If equipped with a cab, do not charge the vehicle batteries with the cab closed. The cab should
have windows or doors open when batteries are being charged. An accumulation of hydrogen gas
can result in an explosion.
• Risk of electric shock. Connect charger power cord to an outlet that has been properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A grounded outlet is required to reduce
risk of electric shock; do not use ground adapters or modify plug.
• Do not touch uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated battery terminals.
• Disconnect the AC supply before making or breaking the connections to the battery.
• Do not open or disassemble charger.
• Do not operate this charger if the AC supply cord is damaged or if the charger has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Refer all repair work to the manufacturer
or qualified personnel.
WARNING
• Only trained technicians should repair or service the charger. Contact your nearest Club Car
distributor/dealer.
• This charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the charger by a person responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the charger.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery in
accordance with all environmental laws or return to an authorized Club Car dealer. Frozen batteries
can explode.
• Each charger should have its own dedicated 15 or 20 ampere separately protected (circuit breaker or
fuse) single phase branch circuit, in accordance with all applicable electrical codes for the location.
• 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.
• Use only an appropriately sized AC power cord. See AC Power Connection on page 56.
• Do not use near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammables. Chargers can ignite
flammable materials and vapors.
• Prior to servicing the charger, disconnect the AC power supply cord from the wall outlet and remove
the battery charger from the vehicle. See removal procedure in the appropriate maintenance and
service manual.
• Do not use a battery charger if the cord or plug is damaged in any way. Replace worn or damaged
parts immediately. Failure to heed this warning can result in a fire, property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, was dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way.
• Have worn, cut, or damaged power cords or wires replaced immediately.
• Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines. Surge arrestors will help protect electrical
components in the charger and on the vehicle from all but direct or close lightening strikes.
