PREPARING THE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1. Fully charge batteries. See Charging Batteries on page 29.
2. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
3. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.
4. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications on page 33.
5. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication Schedule on page 26.
6. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, cargo bed, battery compartment, and underside of vehicle.
7. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
8. Keep batteries fully charged during storage.
• Leave charger plugged in during storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate the charger
when necessary. If charger cannot remain plugged in, or AC power will not be available during
extended storage, disconnect the batteries for storage (Figure 1, Page 9).
RETURNING THE STORED VEHICLE TO SERVICE
1. If necessary connect batteries.
2. Fully charge batteries.
3. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications on page 33.
4. Perform the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 18.
MAINTENANCE
Read General Warnings on page 10.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive mainte-
nance program. Regular and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive
repairs that can result from neglect. Use the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 18 and the fol-
lowing Periodic Service Schedule and Periodic Lubrication Schedule to keep the vehicle in proper working
condition.
Any vehicle not functioning correctly should be removed from use until it is properly repaired. This will prevent
further damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to unsafe conditions.
Contact your local Club Car dealer/distributor to perform all repairs and semiannual and annual periodic ser-
vice.

damage, severe personal injury, or death.
