2007 Turf/Carryall Vehicle Owner’s Manual
When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC
power to the charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, 4) the
charger malfunctions, or 5) the wrong charger is used, the warning lamp will indicate as follows:
•
The warning lamp will not come on if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer will
retain in memory the amount of charge needed to fully replenish the batteries and will complete the
charge during the next charge cycle.
•
When the charger is unplugged, the warning lamp will illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds
if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for approximately 30 min-
utes of operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged
to completion as soon as possible.
•
The warning lamp will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals if the charger times
out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged.
See battery charger owner’s manual
.
This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club
Car distributor/dealer.
•
The warning lamp will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals during a charge
cycle (DC plug is still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The lamp will go out when
AC power is restored.
LED lamp
: In addition to the warning lamp, there is an infrared LED in the dash lamp assembly, which trans-
mits an infrared signal from the onboard computer (OBC). This signal is received by the optional Communi-
cation Display Module, which provides information on the condition of the vehicle and batteries.
BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR
Electric Carryall 6 Vehicles Only
The battery condition indicator features a 10-bar LED display that, when the vehicle is in operation, displays
the level of battery capacity, measuring battery voltage over a period of time.
When batteries are fully charged, all indicator lamps will be on. When battery voltage drops below 75% of full
discharge, the last two indicator lamps will flash alternately. Continued use of vehicle after indicator lamps
begin flashing without recharging could result in decreased vehicle performance.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: If battery condition indicator moves rapidly (approximately 45 minutes) from full charge display to
empty, there may be a problem with the wiring or with a battery cell. If indicator display does not
reset back to full after recharging, there may be a problem with the battery charger or with one of the
batteries. In either case the vehicle should be checked by a Club Car dealer or a trained technician.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it
. The operation of
the accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile:
• Pedal-start vehicle:
When the key switch is in the ON position, and the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch is in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position, pressing the accelerator pedal will automati-
cally release the park brake and start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (forward or reverse).
When the accelerator is released, power will be cut off and the motor or engine will stop running.
• Key-start vehicle:
The engine must first be running before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle and
pressing the accelerator pedal. As the accelerator pedal is pressed, speed will increase until full speed
is reached. When the accelerator is released, the engine will idle.
