ELECTRIC POWERED PERSONNEL CARRIERS & GOLF CAR
Thank you for your purchase. The vehicle is equipped
with an electronic speed control unit that is the most
advanced in the industry. Before driving the vehicle, we
ask you to spend some time reading this Owner’s Man-
ual and Service Guide. This guide contains information
that will assist you in maintaining your highly reliable
vehicle. This guide covers the operation of several vehi-
cles, therefore some pictorial views may not represent
your vehicle. Physical differences in controls will be illus-
trated. Some illustrations may show items that are
optional for your vehicle.
Most of the service procedures in this guide can be
accomplished by an individual using common automotive
hand tools. Refer to an authorized service representative
for information on servicing the vehicle in accordance
with the Periodic Service Schedule.
To facilitate maintenance, a Service Parts Manual and a
Technician’s Repair and Service Manual is available from
a local Distributor, an authorized Branch or the E-Z-GO
Service Parts Department. When ordering parts or
requesting information for your vehicle, provide vehicle
model, serial number and manufacture code.
BEFORE INITIAL USE
Read, understand and follow safety label on the instru-
ment panel. Be sure you understand the vehicle, its
equipment and how to use it safely. Although the vehicles
have been designed to provide safe and reliable opera-
tion, maintaining good performance depends to a large
extent on the operator.
Hydrogen gas is generat-
ed as a natural part of the
lead acid battery charg-
ing process. A 4% concentration of hydrogen gas is
explosive and could cause severe injury or death.
Charging must take place in an area that is adequate-
ly ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour).
To reduce the chance of battery explosion that could
result in severe injury or death, never smoke around
or charge batteries in an area that has open flame or
electrical equipment that could cause an electrical
arc.
Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging cycle of bat-
teries and is explosive in concentrations as low as 4%.
Because hydrogen gas is lighter than air, it will collect in
the ceiling of buildings necessitating proper ventilation.
Five air exchanges per hour is considered the minimum
requirement.
Never charge a vehicle in an area that is subject to flame
or spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or pro-
pane gas water heaters and furnaces.
Before a new vehicle is put into operation, it is recom-
mended that the items shown in the INITIAL SERVICE
CHART be performed (Ref Fig. 1 on page 1).
Vehicle batteries must be fully charged before initial use.
Preparation of Seats for Service
Remove the protective plastic coverings from the seats
before placing the vehicle in service. The only function of
the plastic covering is to protect the seat bottom and
back rest during shipping. If the plastic covering is left on
the seat and becomes torn, dirt may get under the plastic
covering and be ground into the cover material. Water
getting under the plastic covering can become trapped
and eventually will damage the seat assembly.
Charger Installation
To prevent overheating
that may cause serious
damage to the charger
and create the potential for fire, do not block or
obstruct the airways. Portable chargers must be
mounted on a platform above the ground or in such a
manner as to permit the maximum air flow under-
neath and around 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 protection. The
charger may remain plugged into the AC outlet. To
charge the vehicle, refer to the instruction labels on the
charger. Insert the DC plug completely into the vehicle
receptacle located on the panel underneath the driver’s
seat (Ref Fig. 3 on page 2). After inserting the polarized
DC plug, wait a few seconds and observe ammeter on
