2. Fully charge batteries. See Charging Batteries on page 31.
3. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
4. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.

man on page 35 or Specifications – Lynx 4-passenger and Box Bed Vehicle on page 36.
6. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication Schedule on page 26.
7. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, battery compartment, and underside of vehicle.
8. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.

• PowerDrive Chargers: Leave PowerDrive Chargers plugged in during storage. The onboard com-
puter will automatically activate the charger when necessary. If charger cannot remain plugged in, or
AC power will not be available during extended storage, disconnect the batteries for storage
(Figure 1,

MAINTENANCE
See General Warnings on page 8.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive mainte-
nance program. Regular and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive
repairs that can result from neglect. Use the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 16, the Per-
formance Inspection on page 16, and the following Periodic Service Schedule and Periodic Lubrication
Schedule to keep the vehicle in proper working condition.
Any vehicle 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.
