BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND
CHARGING
Your Batteries are the modern dry type requiring neither acid nor distilled
water. They should always be stored upright in a dry environment, as a damp
atmosphere will encourage the batteries to discharge.
Never leave the batteries in a discharged state. Always recharge them
whenever your vehicle has been used to do eighteen holes.
The charger should remain connected and switched on at any time that the
vehicle is not in use between games (NOTE: see “Battery storage” for over-
wintering or extended periods of non-use). It will automatically cut out when
the Batteries are fully charged then cut in again when there is a small voltage
drop, this will keep them fully charged while using very little electricity.
Caution should be taken to ensure that the charger ventilation grills are not
obstructed in any way. If they are it will create overheating and subsequent
charger failure. Do no use in a wet environment.
Remove the ignition key and insert the charger
output plug into the socket located at the rear of
the vehicle.
CONNECTING THE CHARGER TO BATTERIES REMOVED FROM
THE "FORE"
The battery charger is designed to charge both batteries simultaneously while
connected in the same way as when they are mounted on your vehicle. They
should never be charged singly or connected any other way.
WARNING
. In order to prevent shorting always clip the battery cross lead to
its fixed end when removing the batteries from your vehicle.
Never
place
metal objects on top of the batteries as this could cause a severe shock or fire
hazard.
Plug the OVCU (Off Vehicle Charging Unit) into the charger output socket.
Connect batteries together using the battery cross lead.
Clip the red positive (+) OVCU lead to the positive (+) battery terminal.
Clip the black negative (-) OVCU lead to the negative (-) battery terminal.
