Maintenance Instructions - Cushman LSV 800 Owner's Manual

OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
The charger automatically starts as the AC plug is plugged into the receptacle. NOTE: a spark may be visible when
as the plug is connected, this is normal and not a safety issue. The charger must be connected to a dedicated 15-
amp (minimum) circuit.
Within two seconds after the AC plug has been engaged, the receptacle LED shall perform a <3 second RED/
GREEN self-test flash. The receptacle LED will then flash SHORT GREEN to indicate "CHARGING <80%" and a low
charge current shall be applied for a minimum of five seconds until the battery voltage reaches a minimum 1.95Vpc,
or a time-out error condition has occurred. Receptacle LED will flash SHORT AMBER if charger is operating in
reduced output mode due to thermal cutback.
The charger output will turn off and the receptacle LED will continuously illuminate GREEN to indicate 'CHARGED'.

If left plugged into the vehicle, the charger will automatically restart if the battery pack drops below 2.08 Vpc (Volts
per cell).
If the AC is removed, the charger will turn off the receptacle LED and the charger will terminate charging.
• Charger input voltage 95 to 230 VAC power
• 9 Amp input current required
• Frequency 45-65 hertz
The charger will output 13A at 48V, and the DC to DC converter will output 30A at 12V.
To prevent a physical hazard that could result in an electrical shock or electrocution, be sure that
the charger plug is not damaged and is inserted into a grounded receptacle.
The optional charging (AC) cord is equipped with a polarized connector
that fits into a matching receptacle on the vehicle. The receptacle is
located on the driver side of the vehicle just below the seat bottom.
E-Z-GO offers a charging cord with a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI).
If the car is not charged from a GFCI receptacle, E-Z-GO recommends
that the GFCI charging cord be purchased. If using a charging cord other
than one purchased from E-Z-GO, the cord must be a 3 conductor #14
SJO, or equivalent.

Maintenance Instructions

1. For flooded lead-acid batteries, regularly check the water levels of each battery cell after charging and add distilled
water as required to the level specified by the battery manufacturer. Follow the safety instructions recommended by
the battery manufacturer.
2. Make sure the charger connections to the battery terminals are tight and clean. Check for any deformations or
cracks in the plastic parts. Check the charger harness for chaffing and rubbing. Inspect all wiring for fraying, loose
terminals, chaffing, corrosion or deterioration of the insulation.
3. Keep the cooling fins free of dirt and debris. Do not expose the charger to oil, dirt, mud or to direct heavy water
spray when cleaning equipment.
4. Inspect the ends of the charge cord and the vehicle receptacle housing for dirt or debris. Clean the connector
monthly or more often if needed.
