10.
Then
, mount the passenger’s side
tube with the female end towards the front of the Golf Cart, using the included
mounting brackets. A suitable mounting location for this tube is either to the pinch weld or side skirt.
11.
Mount the underbody kit’s control box in a safe and secure location inside of your
Golf Cart. Ensure the mounting
position will allow for both lead wires from the Front tube and the Passenger Side tube to plug into the control box.
Run the lead power wire from the front underbody tube to the power the control box.
12.
Next, plug the lead wire from the front underbody tube into one of the male channels from the control box. You can
then plug the front underbody tube into the lead wire for the driver side tube. Make sure to secure the wires tightly
when going around the suspension and exhaust. Leave at least 8 inches between the exhaust and underbody tube.
13.
Run the lead power wire from the passenger side underbody tube to the control box.
14.
Next, plug the lead wire from the passenger side underbody tube into the other male of the rear tube.
15.
Be sure to use the included zip ties to secure and mount any bundles of wires from the underbody tubes under the Golf
Cart in a safe location away from any direct heat sources or moving parts.
16.
It is imperative to make sure that the wires are not mounted to any direct heat source or any moving parts. Any excess
length on the tube power wire will have to be bound up and secured tightly.
Connecting Power to Electric Golf Carts:
This Golf Cart Lighting Kit was designed to be powered by a 12 volt system. If you are running a 36 or 48 volt system, a Golf
Cart Battery Voltage Reducer is required. This Reducer can be purchased at LEDGlow.com. The steps below will guide you
through the process of installing your LED Lighting Kit using a Golf Cart Battery Voltage Reducer.
1.
If you are unsure of the voltage in your golf cart, temporarily reconnect the negative side of the battery and verify
voltage with a multimeter before connecting the kit to the golf cart.
2.
The Golf Cart Battery Voltage Reducer can accept an input voltage of 15-60 volts, while outputting 12 volts at a max of
5 amps. This allows you to connect to any power source on the cart safely. This also allows the light kit to draw power
evenly from all of the batteries, prolonging the battery life of all batteries in the cart.
S
witch your golf cart to TOW mode (if available) and turn the key switch to OFF so the golf cart is powered down.
3.
Using a multimeter, test the voltage of the batteries to which you will be installing the Golf Cart Battery Voltage
Reducer. Because an electric golf cart requires significant current for standard operation, several batteries are typically
wired in series in order to achieve the power needed. It is extremely important to test the voltage of the chosen power
source prior to installing the Golf Cart Battery Voltage Reducer as failure to install it correctly could lead to overheating
and complete failure of the voltage reducer. This could also potentially damage components of the golf cart and/or
light kit.
