Read all of manual to become familiar with this vehicle. Pay attention to all NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS.

Fig. 6 Charger Mounting

Looping the DC cord through the steering wheel when charg-

ing serves as a good reminder to store the cord out of the way

when finished with charging. The DC plug can be damaged by

driving over or catching the cord on the vehicle when driving

away.

An ungrounded electrical device may become

a physical hazard that could result in an elec-

trical shock or electrocution.

USING THE CHARGER

The charger may remain plugged into the AC outlet

when not in use. To charge the vehicle refer to the in-

struction labels on the charger. Insert the polarized DC

plug completely into the vehicle receptacle. The charger

will automatically start a few seconds after the plug is in

place. The charger will automatically stop when the bat-

teries are fully charged and the DC plug can be re-

moved to permit use of the vehicle.

To prevent a physical hazard that could result

in an electrical shock or electrocution, be sure

that the charger plug is not damaged and is

inserted into a grounded receptacle.
The power (AC) cord is equipped with a

grounded plug. Do not attempt to pull out, cut

or bend the ground post.

The charging (DC) cord is

equipped with a polarized

connector that fits into a

matching receptacle on the

vehicle. The receptacle is lo-

cated on the driver side of

the vehicle just below the

seat bottom.

Fig. 7 Charger Receptacle

If vehicle is to be charged with a non E-Z-GO charger, refer to

the instructions supplied with the charger.

UNDERSTANDING THE CHARGER

Plugging the charger into the vehicle’s charger recepta-

cle will lock the vehicle out of operation. When the char-

ger is plugged into the vehicle’s charger receptacle, the

charger will automatically turn on and the charger’s LED

and the vehicle receptacle’s LED will start flashing

GREEN to indicate the batteries are charging.
Once a minimum battery voltage of 2 volts per cell (Vpc)

is reached, the charger’s output current will change from

a full current charge to the trickle rated charging current.

The length of charge time will vary by how depleted the

batteries are, the input AC voltage, and/or charger am-

bient temperatures. The charger’s LED will give a

SHORT flash if the charge is less than 80% and a

LONG flash if the charge is greater than 80%. If the

charger’s LED is a steady GREEN the batteries are fully

charged and the charger may be unplugged, although

not necessary. The charger may be left plugged in for

long periods of time to maintain the batteries charge lev-

el.
If a fault occurred anytime during the charging the char-

ger’s LED will quickly flash RED. The specific fault is in-
