Wear safety glasses while working on the cart or charger. Wear a full face shield and
rubber gloves while working on or near the batteries.
Use insulated tools while working on any electrical components.
Turn the cart and all accessories off while charging.
The nine 8-volt batteries in this cart are specifically designed deep-cycle batteries.
Automotive batteries should never be used in this cart. The same type and size lead-acid
batteries should be used if replacement is necessary. Alternative batteries such as sealed
batteries and glass mat batteries will require a different charging system and should not
be used.
It is important to properly condition new batteries. New batteries will take 50 to 100
charges to reach their full potential. During this period it is important not to exceed a 50%
discharge level. Batteries should be fully charged before first use of cart, before removal
from storage, and before use each day.
Charge batteries whenever possible; avoid deep discharging of batteries as it will shorten
their life.
Battery Watering System (If you have this Optional Accessory fitted to your cart)
The cart is equipped with a battery watering system to make maintenance of the battery
electrolyte level easy. The system has two watering points. One is located in the battery
compartment beneath the passenger seat, the other is located under the drivers’ seat.
Note: Both points must be accessed and used when watering the batteries as the system
does not connect the left and right battery banks.
For proper operation and maintenance please refer to the separate on-board Battery
Watering System Manual included with your cart documentation.
It is also highly recommended that you have your dealer demonstrate the proper operation
of the watering system.
Battery Care
The following maintenance is required:
1. Keep batteries clean (see page 17). Ensure the battery cell tops are secure. Wash the
battery tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of 1 gallon water / 3.78 litres and 1
cup baking soda. Do not allow solution to enter the batteries. Rinse off residual solution.
2. The electrolyte level in the batteries should be checked weekly by filling them using the
battery watering system.
