VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your buggy requires 4 long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and
maintenance free(Figure 10.a).
They are recharged by an off-board charging system(Figure 10.b).
■
Charge your batteries prior to using it for the first time.
■
Charge the batteries every three months keep your buggy running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition LED indicator on the steering wheel indicates the approximate
strength of your batteries using a color code(Figure 9.b).
From right to left, three green indicates fully charged batteries, two or one green indicates a
draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. To ensure the
highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while operating your
buggy at full speed on a dry, level surface.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an
approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access.
Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a
properly wired standard electrical outlet.
Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the buggy while the batteries are charging.
We recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the buggy is occupied.
Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with the
battery charger before charging the batteries.
Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the buggy and
battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide
