MAINTENANCE SAFETY
To prevent serious injury or death, follow the procedures and comply with the safety
information in this manual while performing vehicle service or maintenance.
Do not remove the cover from the battery module(s). There are no serviceable items
below the cover.
Use the tools shown in the tool list and wear the specified safety equipment when per-
forming vehicle service or maintenance.
Remove all jewelry before you service the vehicle.
Do not allow loose clothing or hair to contact the moving parts.
Do not touch hot objects.
Before you disconnect or connect a battery or any other wires, ensure the key is in the
OFF position.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before you service the vehicle to prevent acci-
dental operation.
The drive wheels must be lifted and supported on jack stands before you do any service
to the power-train when the motor is in operation.
Support the vehicle with jack stands. NEVER get under a vehicle that is only supported
by a jack. Lift the vehicle according to the manufacturers instructions.
Wear a face shield when working around the battery pack.
Be careful when working around batteries, using solvents or compressed air.
Use insulated tools within the battery area to prevent sparks or battery explosion.
To prevent the risk of battery explosion, keep all flammable materials, open flames or
sparks away from the battery.
Maintain constant awareness that some components are heavy, spring loaded, corro-
sive, explosive, can cause high amperage or get extremely hot.
After you make repairs or do maintenance, test the vehicle in a safe area that is free from
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
NOTICE: To decrease the risk of damage to the controller or motor, move the run/tow switch to the TOW posi-
tion before you tow the vehicle.
An E-Z-GO ELiTE golf car can not be used to tow E-Z-GO vehicles with lead acid batteries. The
ELiTE golf car can tow up to three ELiTE model golf cars properly equipped with an approved tow
bar system.
Never tow an E-Z-GO vehicle with any vehicle except an E-Z-GO golf car with an approved tow bar
system.
After you connect a battery or any other wires, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before you move the
switch to the RUN position.
