Fig. 2 Proper Charger Installation
Portable chargers are shipped with the vehicle. Prior to
vehicle or charger operation, chargers must be removed
and mounted on a platform or wall above the ground to
permit maximum air flow around and underneath the
charger. If the charger is operated in an outdoor location,
rain and sun protection must be provided (Ref Fig. 2 on
page 2). A dedicated circuit is required for the charger.
Refer to the charger manual for appropriate circuit pro-
tection. The charger may remain plugged in to the AC
outlet. To charge the vehicle, refer to the instruction
labels on the charger. Insert the polarized DC plug com-
pletely into the vehicle receptacle (Ref Fig. 3 on page 2).
Fig. 3 Charger Receptacle Location
The charger will automatically start a few seconds after
plug insertion. The charger will automatically stop when
batteries are fully charged and the DC plug can be
removed to permit use of the vehicle.
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.
To reduce the possibility of a physical hazard
that could result in an electrical shock or elec-
trocution, be sure that the charger plug is not
damaged and is inserted into a grounded
receptacle.
The p ower (AC) cord is equipp ed 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 con-
nector which fits into a matching receptacle on the vehi-
cle.
If vehicle is to be charged with a non E-Z-GO charger, refer to
the instructions supplied with the charger.
