HIGH FREQUENCY CHARGER (ONBOARD)
Once the lockout is actuated, the charger turns on and performs a Power-On Self Test in which the Charger
Information Light on the dash will flash each color once starting with red, then green, and amber. If test is suc-
cessful, charging will start and the green light will flash.
The charger monitors battery voltage, charge current and charge time to determine when the batteries are
properly charged. The charger will shut off by itself and the green light will stop flashing and remain on.
The vehicle's control circuit lockout remains activated until the charger AC plug is disconnected from the AC
receptacle.

MAINTENANCE

Read DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTIONS beginning on page 10-4.
To ensure trouble-free performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive maintenance pro-
gram. Regular and consistent maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive repairs that can
result from neglect.
Any charger 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 your local Club Car distributor/dealer to perform all repairs and semiannual and annual periodic ser-
vice.
