CART MAINTENANCE:
Battery maintenance is one of the most important parts of caring for any electric golf cart. Always check tightness of nuts, wash down batteries to keep corrosion resistant spray on terminals. You may use water to spray the entire inside of the cart down to keep it clean of dirt and acid. Water level in batteries (DISTILLED WATER RECOMMENDED) should be above plates and just below collar, leaving room for the water to expand while charging. (Always fill batteries before charging) check batteries weekly. A surge protector must be used or warranty will be voided.
CHARGING BATTERIES:
When charging batteries, always plug charger into the wall first (110 Volts). Then, push all the way into cart to make a good connection, with automatic chargers. The charger will turn itself on and go up to around 20 amps and drop into lower amperages down before recharging. Charging times can vary due to the amount of energy left in the batteries.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Greasing cart is recommended (every 3-6 months) depending on driving conditions (i.e. grass or asphault use). Tire pressure should be between 18-22 lbs. Your cart is delivered with a reverse buzzer, DO NOT remove or disconnect, as it is a very important safety feature. We also recommend a yearly service to keep your cart in good working order.
