CHARGER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION – ALL MODELS
∆
CAUTION
• Use only on circuits provided with maximum 20 amperes branch circuit protection in
accordance with the national electrical code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and all local codes and
ordinances, or the electrical codes of the country in which used.
• Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines. Surge arrestors will protect electrical/
electronic components in the charger and on the vehicle from all but direct and very close
lightning strikes.
• Do not place the charger on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The charger may fall, causing
serious damage or personal injury.
∆
WARNING
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, was dropped or otherwise damaged
in any way. Contact your nearest Club Car Distributor/dealer.
• Ventilation openings must not be blocked or covered and must have at least two inches of
clearance. The charger should never be placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface
and do not allow clothing, blankets, or other materials to cover the charger. The charger
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. It should not be installed in a
confined space unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Ventilation fans should be located at the highest point in the room and must be capable of
changing the total volume of air in the room five times per hour. Consult your local HVAC
engineer.
• Do not use near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammables. Chargers can ignite
flammable materials and vapors.
• Keep the charger dry - Do not expose it to rain or spill liquids of any kind onto the charger.
• Never push objects of any kind into the charger through the cabinet slots. They may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock.
• The battery charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The charger is
equipped with an AC electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding type plug. The plug must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all local codes
and ordinances, or the electrical codes of the country in which used.
• Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug by using an adaptor for installation into
a two-prong outlet. The electrical outlet or extension cord must have a three-prong outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor could result in fire or electrical
shock.
• The use of an extension cord with the charger should be avoided. If an extension cord must be
used, use a three conductor No. 12 AWG cord with a grounding type plug in good electrical
condition and keep it as short as possible (no more than twelve feet). Locate all cords so that
they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to stress. Replace worn, cut,
or damaged power cords or wires immediately. An improper extension cord could result in fire
or electrical shock.
• Do not use an extension cord with onboard models.
