WARNING
• The high frequency battery charger is programmed with an algorithm that matches the type
and design specifications of the batteries originally installed in the vehicle. Never use this
charger to charge batteries of a different type and design specification. Doing so will damage
the non-matching batteries and greatly reduce their life span. If the batteries can not be
replaced with the same as original, the charger must be replaced with one that matches the
replacement batteries. See Battery Charger Identification on page 2-1.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery
in accordance with all environmental laws or return to an authorized Club Car dealer. Frozen
batteries can explode.
• Only trained technicians should repair or service the charger. Contact your nearest 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.
• 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.
• Use only an appropriately sized AC power cord. See AC Power Connection on page 10-7.
• Do not use near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammables. Chargers can ignite
flammable materials and vapors.
• Do not expose to rain or any liquid. Keep the charger dry.
• Prior to servicing the charger, disconnect the AC power supply cord from the wall outlet and
remove the battery charger from the vehicle. See removal procedure in the appropriate
maintenance and service manual.
• Do not use a battery charger if the cord or plug is damaged in any way. Replace worn or
damaged parts immediately. Failure to heed this warning could result in a fire, property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, was dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way.
• Have worn, cut, or damaged power cords or wires replaced immediately.
• Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines. Surge arrestors will help protect electrical
components in the charger and on the vehicle from all but direct or close lightening strikes.
• Ensure battery connections are clean and properly tightened.
• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle or battery charger.
Wear a full face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry such as rings, watches, chains, etc., when servicing the
vehicle or battery charger.
• Use insulated tools when working near batteries or electrical connections. Use extreme
caution to avoid shorting of components or wiring.
