Battery Charger - Electric Vehicle - Club Car Turf 1/Carryall 1 Owner's Manual

Battery Charger – Electric Vehicle
CAUTION
• Do not overfill the batteries.
NOTE: A battery watering gun or bottle is available at many auto parts dealers.
3. The hold-down straps should be tight enough so batteries do not move while the vehicle is in motion, but not so
tight as to crack or buckle the battery case. Tighten hold-down retaining nuts to 40 in-lb (4.5 N·m). The terminal
connections should be clean and tight, and any worn insulation or frayed wires should be replaced. Tighten
battery terminals to 110 in-lb (12.4 N·m).
4. After use, the batteries should be placed on charge. The batteries should never be left discharged any longer
than absolutely necessary (do not leave batteries discharged overnight).
BATTERY CHARGER – ELECTRIC VEHICLE
DANGER
• The charging area must be ventilated. Hydrogen level in the air must never exceed 2%. The total
volume of air in the charging area must be changed five times per hour. Exhaust fans should be
located at the highest point of the roof. Contact a local HVAC engineer.
• 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 could result in an explosion.
WARNING
• Only trained technicians should repair or service the charger. Contact a Club Car distributor/dealer.
• 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.
• Be sure wire connections at the receptacle and fuse link are clean and tight.
• Have worn, cut, or damaged power cords or wires replaced immediately.
• Do not expose to rain or any liquid. Keep the charger dry.
• Do not use near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammables. Chargers can ignite
flammable materials and vapors.
• 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.
• An extension cord or electrical outlet must accept a three-prong plug. Extension cord should be a
three-wire No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or No. 14 SWG (British Standard Wire Gauge) and be as
short as possible. The use of improper extension cord could result in fire or an electrical shock.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, was dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way.
• Do not push objects of any kind into the charger through cabinet slots. They may touch dangerous
voltage points or cause an electrical short circuit that could result in fire or electrical shock.
• Do not connect a stationary charger to the receptacle if the charger cord, plug, or the vehicle
receptacle is broken, damaged in any manner, or does not make a good electrical connection. Fire or
personal injury can result. Have a qualified technician repair or replace it immediately.
