1. Apply Molykote G
2. Slide the motor onto the transaxle input shaft. Rotate the motor until the locating bolt mounting hole on the
motor is aligned with its mounting hole in the transaxle case. Install the bolt (28) (thread in only a few turns)
with lock washer (27) (Figure 15-8, Page 15-7). See also Figure 15-16, Page 15-13. Do not tighten the bolt
at this time.
3. Install, but do not tighten the three 1/4-20 bolts (25) with lock washers (26) that mount the motor to the tran-
saxle (Figure 15-8, Page 15-7). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• MAKE SURE THE MOTOR IS PROPERLY SEATED IN THE TRANSAXLE HOUSING.
4. Finger tighten the four bolts, moving from bolt (C) to bolts (A, B, and D) until the motor is seated. With one wheel
jacked up so it is off the ground, rotate the axle to make sure the motor is not binding on the transaxle input shaft
(Figure 15-17, Page 15-13).
5. Tighten lower 1/4 in. bolt (C). Next, tighten bolt (A), then tighten center bolt (B) at the top. Tighten bolts to 65
in.lb (7.3 N-m). Tighten the 5/16 in. bolt (D) to 155 in.lb (17.5 N-m) (Figure 15-17, Page 15-13).
6. Install the motor wires. Make sure they are connected to the correct terminals. Tighten the terminal retaining
nuts to 65 in.lb (7.3 N-m). See following NOTE.
NOTE
• THE MOTOR WIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAGGED FOR IDENTIFICATION WHEN THEY WERE DISCONNECTED. IF
THE WIRES WERE NOT TAGGED, SEE WIRING DIAGRAM IN SECTION 11, FIGURE 11-1, PAGE 11-2.
7. If using a chain hoist, lower the vehicle and guide the leaf springs into the shackles. If using a floor jack, raise
the transaxle until the leaf springs can be guided into the shackles.
8. Insert mounting bolts through spring shackles and bushings in leaf spring eyes and install lock nuts. Tighten bolts
to 23 ft.lb (31 N-m). See Section 9–Rear Suspension in the Maintenance and Service Manual.

Tighten lug nuts to 55 ft.lb (74.6 N-m).
11. Connect the battery cables (positive cable first). Tighten cables to 110 in.lb (12.4 N-m) (Figure 15-1, Page 15-
2). Coat terminals with Batter Protector Spray (Club Car Part No. 1014305) to minimize corrosion. Place Tow
