FOREWORD


This vehicle has been designed and manufactured in the United States of America (USA).

The Standards and Specifications listed in the following text originate in the USA unless otherwise indicated.

The use of non-Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved parts may void the warranty.

Failure to properly maintain batteries may void the warranty. Refer to the battery manual for instructions on the proper maintenance and care of the batteries.

BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE

All batteries will self-discharge over time. The rate of self-discharge varies depending on the ambient temperature, the age and condition of the batteries.

A fully charged battery will not freeze in winter temperatures unless the temperature falls below -75°F (- 60°C).

For winter storage, the batteries must be clean, fully charged and disconnected from any source of electrical drain.

The battery charger may be left connected to the vehicle to maintain a full charge on the batteries, provided the charger is plugged into an active electrical source. If power to the electrical source is disconnected or interrupted the battery charger will continue to check the charge on the battery pack, this will draw power from the battery pack and eventually drain the batteries if power is not restored in a timely manner.

As with all electric vehicles, the batteries must be checked and recharged as required or at a minimum of 30 day intervals.

Remember to check and maintain the proper fluid level in all battery cells during the storage period; proper fluid level is required for maximum battery performance.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

Lead-acid batteries are recyclable. Return whole scrap batteries to distributor, manufacturer or lead smelter for recycling. For neutralized spills, place residue in acid-resistant containers with absorbent material, sand or earth and dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations for acid and lead compounds. Contact local and/or state environmental officials regarding disposal information.

SAFETY


This manual has been designed to assist in maintaining the vehicle in accordance with procedures developed by the manufacturer. Adherence to these procedures and troubleshooting tips will ensure the best possible service from the product. To reduce the chance of personal injury or property damage, the following must be carefully observed:

Certain replacement parts can be used independently and/or in combination with other accessories to modify an E-Z-GO-manufactured vehicle to permit the vehicle to operate at or in excess of 20 mph. When an E-Z-

GO-manufactured vehicle is modified in any way by the Distributor, Dealer or customer to operate at or in excess of 20mph, UNDER FEDERAL LAW the modified product will be a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) subject to the strictures and requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 571.500. In these instances, pursuant to Federal law the Distributor or Dealer MUST equip the product with headlights, rear lights, turn signals, seat belts, top, horn and all other modifications for LSV’s mandated in FMVSS 571.500, and affix a

Vehicle Identification Number to the product in accordance with the requirements of FMVSS 571.565. Pursuant to FMVSS 571.500, and in accordance with the State laws applicable in the places of sale and use of the product, the Distributor, Dealer or customer modifying the vehicle also will be the Final Vehicle Manufacturer for the LSV, and required to title or register the vehicle as mandated by State law.

E-Z-GO will NOT approve Distributor, Dealer or customer modifications converting E-Z-GO products into LSV’s.

The Company recommends that all E-Z-GO products sold as personal transportation vehicles BE OPERATED ONLY

BY PERSONS WITH VALID DRIVERS LICENSES, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE REQUIRE-

MENTS. This restriction is important to the SAFE USE AND OPERATION of the product.

All customers should adhere to this SAFETY RESTRICTION, in connection with the use of all E-Z-GO products, new and used, the Distributor or Dealer has reason to believe may be operated in personal transportation applications.

Information on FMVSS 571.500 can be obtained at Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 571.500, or through the Internet at the web site for the U.S. Department of Transportation - at Dockets and Regulation, then to Title

49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Transportation).

All vehicles can be used for a variety of tasks beyond the original intended use of the vehicle; therefore, it is impossible to anticipate and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur. No warning can replace good common sense and prudent driving practices.

Good common sense and prudent driving practices do more to prevent accidents and injury than all of the warnings and instructions combined. E-Z-GO strongly suggests that all users and maintenance personnel read this entire manual paying particular attention to the CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS contained therein.

If you have any questions regarding this vehicle, contact your E-Z-GO/CUSHMAN dealer or write to the address on the back cover of this publication, Attention: Customer Care Department.

OPERATING PROCEDURES



BEFORE INITIAL USE

Read, understand and follow the safety label on the instrument panel. Be sure you understand how to safely operate the vehicle and its equipment. Maintaining good performance depends to a large extent on the operator.

Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of the lead acid battery charging 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 adequately ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour).

To reduce the chance of a 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 batteries 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 propane gas water heaters and furnaces.

Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items shown in the INITIAL SERVICE CHART must be performed.

Batteries

Seats

Brakes

Tires

Item

INITIAL SERVICE CHART

Service Operation

Charge batteries

Remove protective plastic covering

Check operation, adjust if necessary

Check hydraulic brake fluid level

Check air pressure (see specifications)

Check for leaks that could have developed in shipment from the factory.

ON-BOARD CHARGER

Risk of electric shock. Connect charger power cord to an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A grounded outlet is required to reduce risk of electric shock – do not use ground adapters or modify plug. Do not touch uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.

Do not open or disassemble charger. Do not operate charger if the AC supply cord is damaged or if the charger has received a sharp blow, or otherwise damaged in any way – refer all repair work to qualified personnel. Charger not for use by children.

19



To prevent a physical hazard that could result in an electrical shock or electrocution, be sure that the charger plug is not damaged and is inserted fully into a grounded receptacle.

The power (AC) cord is equipped with a grounded plug. Do not attempt to pull out, cut or bend the ground post.

Never charge the vehicle in a hazardous environment.

The on-board charger is located under the cargo deck at the rear of the vehicle, it is wired directly to the batteries.

Before charging the batteries park the vehicle in a well ventilated area, set the parking brake, turn the key switch to OFF and remove the key. Pull charger out the charger cord and plug into a dedicated 15 amp AC outlet to start the charger.

When the charging cycle is complete, disconnect the charger cord and replace it in the storage area provided.

Battery Charger and Cord Storage

OPERATING THE VEHICLE

Improper use of the vehicle or the lack of proper maintenance may result in damage or decreased performance.

Read the following warnings before attempting to operate the vehicle.

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from loss of vehicle control, the following warnings must be observed:

When driving vehicle, consider the terrain, traffic conditions and the environmental factors which effect the terrain and the ability to control the vehicle.

Use extra care and reduced speed when driving on poor surfaces, such as loose dirt, wet grass, gravel, etc.

Stay in designated areas and avoid extremely rough terrain.

Maintain a safe speed when driving down hill. Use service brake to control speed when traveling down an incline. A sudden stop or change of direction may result in loss of control.

To prevent loss of control, do not move the direction selector of a vehicle while the vehicle is in motion. Moving the selector will result in a sudden slowing of the vehicle and the beeping of a warning device.

Slow down before and during turns. All turns should be made at reduced speed.

All travel should be directly up or down hills.

Use extra care when driving the vehicle across any incline.

Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for seating capacity.

20



To prevent inadvertent movement when the vehicle is to be left unattended, engage the park brake, move direction selector to forward position, turn key to ‘OFF’ position and remove key.

Make sure that the direction selector is in correct position before attempting to start the vehicle.

Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting the direction selector.

Do not take vehicle out of ‘gear’ while in motion (coast).

Check the area behind the vehicle before operating in reverse.

All occupants must be seated. Keep entire body inside vehicle and hold on while vehicle is in motion.

Additional Warnings and Cautions (applicable to PDS vehicles)

To prevent loss of control, do not move PDS vehicle direction selector while the vehicle is in motion. Moving the selector will result in a sudden slowing of the vehicle and the beeping of a warning device.

Permitting the vehicle to coast down an incline at speeds in excess of 2 mph (3kph) with the accelerator pedal released after bringing the vehicle to a complete stop will cause an electronic braking force to be applied and a beeping from the from the warning device. Depressing the accelerator pedal will return control to the operator and deactivate the warning beeper.

Before attempting to move vehicle, move the Run-Tow/ Maintenance/Storage switch to the ‘Tow/Maintenance/ Storage’ position. Failure to do so will damage the controller or motor. Before disconnecting or connecting a battery, or any other wiring, move the Run-Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch to the ‘Tow/

Maintenance/Storage’ position.

After connecting a battery, or any other wiring, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before moving the Run-Tow/

Maintenance/Storage switch to the ‘Run’ position.

Performance

NOTICE

Vehicles operate only when the Run - Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch is in the ’RUN’ position.

The vehicle’s top speed is sensed and regulated directly by the controller and the feature to slow the vehicle when the accelerator pedal is up is mild.

Speed Control

To prevent the possibility of loss of control that could cause severe injury or death, use service brake to control speed. The Speed control system is not a substitute for the service brake.

Speed control system vehicles are equipped with a regenerative motor control system.

Example: If all of the following events occur:

• the vehicle is being driven down a slope

• the vehicle attempts to exceed the specified top speed with the accelerator pedal depressed or released

21



the regenerative braking will limit the speed of the vehicle to the specified top speed (the warning beeper will not sound). When the regenerative braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power which is returned to the batteries.

If the operator attempts to override the regenerative braking feature by moving the direction selector or key switch to another position, the warning beeper will sound and the vehicle will brake rapidly until it reaches the speed of approximately 2 mph (3 kph).

Pedal-Up Braking

Pedal-up braking is regenerative braking that occurs when the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle is moving.


• the vehicle is being driven down a slope

• the accelerator pedal is released for more than one second the pedal-up braking will slow the vehicle (the warning beeper will not sound) until either the vehicle speed is reduced to 8 mph (13 kph), at which it freely coasts between 8 and 3 mph (5 kph), or the accelerator pedal is applied. When pedal-up braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power which is returned to the batteries.

Walk-Away Feature

Walk-Away limits vehicle movement without driver input, slowing the vehicle to 2 mph (3 kph) and sounding an audible alarm (reverse beeper).


• the vehicle has been stopped for more than 1.5 seconds

• the accelerator pedal has been released for more than one second

• the vehicle begins to roll above 2 mph (3 kph) the Walk-Away feature will limit speed to approximately 2 mph (3 kph) and the warning beeper will sound. When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the Walk-Away feature and warning beeper will be overridden and normal vehicle operation resumes. Any unusual situation sensed by the TruCourse Technology system will cause a similar response. The system functions in all key switch positions. The system functions in all key switch positions. Any unusual situation sensed by the PDS system will cause a similar response (on the 48V vehicle).

Anti-Roll Back Feature

Anti-Roll Back, like Walk-Away, limits backward motion of the vehicle down an incline to less than 2 mph (3 kph). See

‘Walk-Away Feature’ above.

Anti-Stall Feature

Anti-Stall protection prevents motor damage from stalling the vehicle against an object or on a hill.


• the system senses that the accelerator pedal is depressed (power applied to motor)

• the motor is stalled long enough that any more time may cause motor damage

The Anti-Stall feature (PDS system on 48V Vehicle) will momentarily interrupt power to the motor. This brief interruption will permit the car to roll backwards slightly before again stopping in the stalled condition. This process will repeat itself periodically until the car is moved from the stalled condition.


• the system senses that the accelerator pedal is depressed (power applied to motor)

• the brake is engaged so as to prevent vehicle motion the Anti-Stall feature (PDS system on 48V Vehicle) will sense a stalled motor condition and remove power from the motor. When the brake pedal is released, the car will roll backwards slightly before power is returned to the motor.

22



High Pedal Disable Feature

High pedal disable prevents undesired acceleration if the direction selector lever is changed, or the key is turned on while the accelerator is depressed.

Diagnostic Mode Feature

Diagnostic mode eases troubleshooting.

In the unlikely event of certain electrical system failures, the Diagnostic Mode feature (PDS controller on 48V Vehicle) will default to a mode that will permit the vehicle to operate, but at a very reduced speed.

This feature allows the vehicle to be driven back to its storage facility where the problem can be diagnosed.

The controller can be put in diagnostic mode by the technician and the controller will report the failure mode.

STARTING AND DRIVING

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from loss of vehicle control, consider the grade of the terrain the vehicle is on and set vehicle’s park brake accordingly before switching the Run - Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch to the ‘Tow/Maintenance/Storage’ position. When in the ‘Tow/Maintenance/Storage’ position, the Anti-Roll Back and Walk-Away safety features of the system no longer function.

Before attempting to tow vehicle, move the Run-Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch to the ‘Tow/Maintenance/

Storage’ position. Failure to do so will damage the controller or motor.

Before disconnecting or connecting a battery, or any other wiring, move the Run-Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch to the ‘Tow/Maintenance/Storage’ position.

After connecting a battery, or any other wiring, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before moving the Run-Tow/

Maintenance/Storage switch to the ‘Run’ position.

NOTICE

The Run - Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch should always be returned to the ’Tow/Maintenance/Storage’ position after moving a stalled vehicle. If the switch is left in the ’RUN’ position for an extended period of time, it will drain the batteries.

With the switch in ‘TOW/MAINTENANCE/STORAGE’ position:

• the controller is deactivated

• the electronic braking system is deactivated which allows the vehicle to be towed or roll freely

• the warning beeper is deactivated

With the switch in ‘RUN’ position:

• the controller is activated

• the electronic braking system and warning beeper features are activated

To reduce the possibility of roll-back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do not release the service brake until motor has started.

All vehicles are equipped with an interlock system that disables the controller and prevents the vehicle from being operated or towed while the charger is connected. Remove the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle and properly store the cable prior to moving the vehicle.

23



To operate the vehicle:

• Apply the service brake, place the key in the key switch and turn it to the ‘ON’/’N’ position.

• Move the direction selector to the direction desired.

• Release the park brake. Release foot brake when motor starts.

• Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to start the motor.

• When the accelerator pedal is released, the motor controls the deceleration. To stop the vehicle more quickly, depress the service brake pedal.

NOTICE

When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warning signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run in reverse.

Starting Vehicle On A Hill

To reduce the possibility of roll-back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do not release the service brake until motor has started

.

Do not hold vehicle on hill by using accelerator and motor. Leaving motor in a stalled condition for more than 3 - 4 seconds will cause permanent damage to motor.

To reduce the possibility of permanent damage to the drive system, it is important to prevent excessive roll-back when starting the vehicle on a hill.

Place left foot on service brake and release the park brake. Depress accelerator with right foot and release the service brake by lifting the left foot.

Coasting

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from coasting at above recommended speeds, limit speed with service brake.

Uncontrolled coasting does not occur with this model. However, this is not a substitute for the service brake which should be used to slow the speed of the vehicle quickly.

NOTICE

This model is equipped with a feature (pedal-up braking) that slows the vehicle’s speed when the accelerator pedal is released until the vehicle stops.

Some PDS models are equipped with a feature which slows the vehicle’s speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS

Vehicles may be labeled with pictograms as a method of conveying information or warnings. The SAFETY Section of this manual explains the labels that are used on this vehicle.

24



TOWING A TRAILER

The vehicle may be equipped with a pintle hitch. The trailer and its load must not exceed 5000 lbs. (2268 kg) on LD vehicle and 4600 lbs. (2087 kg) on HD vehicles with 1000 lbs. (453 kg) payload and not more than 50 lbs. (23 kg) tongue weight may be attached to the hitch. Remember that the overall capacity of the vehicle, operator, passenger, contents of load bed and accessories must be reduced to compensate for the trailer and load.

The range of motion of the trailer is limited by the hitch. The trailer should not be used on rough trails or over objects such as logs, large rocks, holes, etc.

MAINTENANCE

VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or vehicle damage, read and understand all instructions supplied by manufacturer of pressure washer.

When pressure washing exterior of vehicle, do not use pressure in excess of 700 psi and maintain a 12” minimum distance from spray nozzle to painted surface. To reduce the possibility of cosmetic damage, do not use any abrasive or reactive solvents to clean plastic parts.

It is important that proper techniques and cleaning materials be used. Using excessive water pressure may cause severe injury to operator or bystander, damage to seals, plastics, seat material, body finish or electrical system. Do not use pressure in excess of 700 psi (4800 kPa) to wash exterior of vehicle.

Normal cleaning of vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with a sponge or soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth.

Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc. will require the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.

The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing with lukewarm or cold water and mild detergent is required to preserve the painted surfaces.

Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive products designed for ‘clear coat’ automotive finishes will enhance the appearance and durability of the painted surfaces.

Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control can collect on the underbody of the vehicle. These materials will cause corrosion of underbody parts unless flushed occasionally with plain water. Thoroughly clean any areas where mud or other debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed areas should be loosened to ease it’s removal, taking care not to chip or otherwise damage paint.

SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

There are serial number labels in several locations on the vehicle. Design changes take place on an ongoing basis.

To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and behind each front wheel. Center the jack under the rear frame crossmember. Raise the vehicle enough to place a jack stand under the outer ends of the rear frame crossmember.

Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the two jack stands. Place the jack at the flat section of the steering box skid plate.

28

MAINTENANCE


Raise the vehicle enough to place jack stands under the frame members as indicated. Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all four jack stands.

If only the front or rear of the vehicle is to be raised, place the chocks in front and behind each wheel not being raised to stabilize the vehicle. Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.

WHEELS AND TIRES

A tire explosion can cause severe injury or death. Never exceed the inflation pressure rating on the tire sidewall.

To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, pressurize tire with small amounts of air applied intermittently to seat beads. Due to the low volume of the small tires, overinflation can occur in seconds. Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s recommendation when seating a bead. Protect face and eyes from escaping air when removing a valve core.

To reduce the possibility of severe injury caused by a broken socket when removing wheels, use only sockets designed for impact wrench use.

Use caution when inflating tires. Overinflation could cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause the tire to explode, either of which could cause severe injury.

Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of the small tires, overinflation can occur in seconds. Overinflation could cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause the tire to explode.

Tire inflation should be determined by the condition of the terrain. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS section for recommended tire inflation pressure. For outdoor applications with major use on grassy areas, the following should be considered. On hard turf, it is desirable to have a slightly higher inflation pressure. On very soft turf, a lower pressure reduces the possibility of tires cutting into the turf. For vehicles being used on paved or hard surfaces, tire inflation pressure should be in the higher allowable range, but under no condition should inflation pressure be higher than recommended on tire sidewall. All four tires should have the same pressure for optimum handling characteristics. Be sure to install the valve stem dust cap after checking or inflating.

The vehicle is fitted with low pressure tubeless tires mounted on one piece rims; therefore, the most cost effective way to repair a puncture in the tread is to use a commercial tire plug.

NOTICE

Tire plug tools and plugs are available at most automotive parts outlets and have the advantage of not requiring the tire be removed from the wheel.

If the tire is flat, remove the wheel and inflate the tire to the maximum recommended pressure for the tire. Immerse the tire in water to locate the leak and mark with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

To reduce the possibility of severe injury, be sure the mounting/demounting machine is anchored to floor. Wear OSHA approved safety equipment when mounting/demounting tires.

If the tire is to be removed or mounted, the tire changing machine manufacturer’s recommendations must be followed in order to reduce possibility of severe injury.

MAINTENANCE


Wheel Installation

To reduce the possibility of component damage, do not tighten lug nuts to more than 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm) torque.

NOTICE

It is important to follow the ‘cross sequence’ pattern when installing lug nuts. This will assure even seating of the wheel against the hub.

With the valve stem to the outside, mount the wheel onto the hub with lug nuts. Finger tighten the lug nuts (1) in a

‘cross sequence’ pattern. Tighten the lug nuts to 50 to 85 ft. lbs. (68 to 115 Nm) torque in 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm) increments following the ‘cross sequence’ pattern.

TRANSPORTING VEHICLE

This vehicle is NOT designed to be towed.

It is recommended that the vehicle be moved by placing the entire vehicle on a trailer, flat bed truck or other suitable transport.

Before pushing inoperative vehicle set the Run-Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch to the TOW/MAINTENANCE/

STORAGE position to prevent damage to the electric motor and controller.

The Run-Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch is located behind the access panel in the center of the dashboard.

Remove two phillips head screws and swing the panel downward to access the switch. Set the switch to the TOW/

MAINTENANCE/STORAGE position before moving an inoperative vehicle, before performing battery maintenance, repairs or for prolonged storage.

The TOW/MAINTENANCE/STORAGE position allows the vehicle to roll freely without activating the warning beeper and eliminating potential damage to the controller or motor. In the TOW/MAINTENANCE/STORAGE position all power to the motor and controller are shut off.

31

MAINTENANCE


To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death while transporting the vehicle:

Secure the vehicle and contents.

Never ride on the vehicle being transported.

Always check that the vehicle and contents are adequately secured before transporting. The rated capacity of the trailer or truck must exceed the weight of the vehicle (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle weight) and load plus 1000 lbs. (454 kg). Set the park brake and secure the vehicle using ratchet tie downs.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from improper servicing techniques:

DO NOT attempt any type of servicing operations before reading all notes, cautions and warnings in this manual.

Any servicing requiring adjustments to be made to the powertrain while the motor is running must be made with both drive wheels raised and vehicle properly supported on jack stands.

To reduce the possibility of motor damage, never operate vehicle at full throttle for more than

4 - 5 seconds while vehicle is in a ‘no load’ condition.

Reduce the possibility of accidental starting by disconnecting battery at negative terminal before servicing.

Wear eye protection when working on the vehicle. Use extra care when working around batteries, or using solvents or compressed air.

To reduce the possibility of causing an electrical arc, which could result in a battery explosion, turn off all electrical loads from the battery before removing battery wires.

Wrap wrenches with vinyl tape to reduce the possibility of a dropped wrench

‘shorting out’ a battery, which could result in an explosion.

The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended flushing with clear water. Contact a physician immediately.

Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 quart (1 liters) of water and flushed with water.

Aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant must be used with extreme care. Insulate metal container to reduce the possibility of can contacting battery terminals which could result in an explosion.

It is in the best interest of both vehicle owner and service technician to carefully follow the procedures recommended in this manual. Preventative maintenance, applied at recommended intervals, is the best guarantee for keeping the vehicle both dependable and economical.

Before any electrical service is performed, the Run-Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch must be placed in the TOW/

MAINTENANCE/STORAGE position.

32

MAINTENANCE


If a power wire (battery, motor or controller) is disconnected for any reason, the ‘Run-Tow/Maintenance/Storage’ switch must be left in the ‘Tow/Maintenance/Storage’ position for at least 30 seconds after the circuit is restored.

This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service, providing it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the Periodic

Service Schedule for appropriate service intervals. Refer to Lubrication Points for appropriate lubrication locations.

To prolong vehicle life, some maintenance items must be serviced more frequently on vehicles used under severe driving conditions such as extreme temperatures, extreme dust/debris conditions, frequent use with maximum load.

To access powertrain for routine maintenance, lift and remove load deck. For major repair, refer to appropriate Technician’s Repair and Service Manual.

Some service procedures may require the vehicle to be lifted. Refer to LIFTING THE VEHICLE for proper lifting procedure and safety information.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

To prolong vehicle life, some maintenance items must be serviced more frequently on vehicles used under severe driving conditions such as extreme temperatures, extreme dust/debris conditions, or frequent use with maximum load.

To access the powertrain for routine maintenance, remove the load bed. For major repair, refer to the appropriate

Technician’s Repair and Service Manual.

Some service procedures may require the vehicle to be lifted. Refer to LIFTING THE VEHICLE for proper lifting procedure and safety information.

Tire Inspection

Tire condition should be inspected per the Periodic Service Schedule. Inflation pressures should be checked when the tires are cool. Be sure to install the valve dust cap after checking or inflating.

BRAKES

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death, always evaluate pedal travel before operating a vehicle to verify some braking function is present.

All driving brake tests must be done in a safe location with regard for the safety of all personnel.

NOTICE

Over time, a subtle loss of performance may take place; therefore, it is important to establish the standard with a new vehicle.

The Periodic Brake Performance Test should be performed regularly as an evaluation of braking system performance. It is useful as a method of identifying subtle loss of performance over time.

Periodic Brake Test For Hydraulic Brakes

Depress the brake pedal; the pedal should have some free travel and then become hard. A brake pedal that has no free travel, excessive free travel or a spongy feel indicates that a brake inspection is required. A brake pedal that fails after it is applied indicates a leak in the master or wheel cylinders.

33

MAINTENANCE


It is important to periodically check and maintain proper brake fluid levels in the brake master cylinder. The fill cap for the master cylinder is located under the access panel in the front floorboard. When checking the fluid, wipe off any dirt from the fill cap before removing it to reduce the possibility of contamination. Fluid level should be maintained between the MAX and MIN fill lines. If fluid must be added, inspect the system for fluid leaks.

SYSTEM TEST

At monthly intervals, test the controller by allowing the vehicle to roll down an incline with the accelerator pedal released. Braking force should be felt at approximately 2 mph (3 kph) indicating that the system is functioning. If vehicle speed continues to rise, apply the service brake and have vehicle inspected by a trained mechanic.

REAR AXLE

The only maintenance required for the first five years is the periodic inspection of the rear axle for lubricant leakage. Unless leakage is evident, the lubricant need only be replaced after five years.

Refer to the Service and Repair Manual for the fluid replacement procedure.

Checking The Lubricant Level

There is no way to check the level of fluid in the rear axle. If leakage is noticed, the fluid will need to be drained completely. Install the drain plug and refill with 13.8 ounces (410 ml) of 80W90 GL5 and install the fill plug.

BATTERY CHARGING AND MAINTENANCE

Safety

Always observe the following warnings when working on or near batteries.

To prevent battery explosion that could result in severe personal injury or death, keep all smoking materials, open flames or sparks away from the batteries.

Hydrogen gas is formed when charging batteries. Do not charge batteries without adequate ventilation. A 4% concentration of hydrogen gas is explosive.

Be sure that the key switch is off and all electrical accessories are turned off before starting work on the vehicle.

Never disconnect a circuit under load at a battery terminal.

Batteries are heavy. Use proper lifting techniques when moving them.

Always lift the battery with a commercially available battery lifting device.

Use care not to tip batteries when removing or installing them; spilled electrolyte can cause burns and damage.

The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended flushing with clear water. Contact a physician immediately.

Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding water or charging batteries.

Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 1/4 cup (60 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 1/2 gallons (6 liters) of water and flushed with water.

Overfilling batteries may result in electrolyte being spilled from the battery during the charge cycle. Expelled electrolyte may cause damage to the vehicle and storage facility.

Aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant must be used with extreme care. Insulate metal container to prevent can from contacting battery terminals which could result in an explosion.

Wrap wrenches with vinyl tape to prevent the possibility of a dropped wrench from shorting out a battery, which could result in an explosion and severe personal injury or death.

Never charge a vehicle in a hazardous location or atmosphere. Reference NFPA

505 for definitions of hazardous and non-hazardous locations.

Battery Disposal

Lead-acid batteries are recyclable. Return whole scrap batteries to distributor, manufacturer or lead smelter for recycling. For neutralized spills, place residue in acid-resistant containers with absorbent material, sand or earth and dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations for acid and lead compounds. Contact local and/or state environmental officials regarding disposal information.

Battery

A battery is defined as two dissimilar metals immersed in an acid. If the acid is absent or if the metals are not dissimilar, a battery has not been created. The batteries most commonly used in these vehicles are lead acid.

36

MAINTENANCE


A battery does not store electricity, but is able to produce electricity as the result of a chemical reaction which releases stored chemical energy in the form of electrical energy. The chemical reaction takes place faster in warm conditions and slower in cold conditions. Temperature is important when conducting tests on a battery and test results must be corrected to compensate for temperature differences.

As a battery ages, it still performs adequately except that its capacity is diminished. Capacity describes the time that a battery can continue to provide its design amperes from a full charge.

A battery has a maximum life, therefore good maintenance is designed to maximize the available life and reduce the factors that can reduce the life of the battery.

Swing Out Battery Tray

The bumper should always be in contact with battery door when closed. Adjust rubber bumper to remove any slack between the latch and latch lock.

Type EE vehicles will have a lock located near the bottom of the swing out battery tray doors. A key to operate the lock is supplied with each Type EE vehicle.

At Each Charging Cycle

To reduce the possibility of fire, never charge a battery pack that is to be unattended beyond the normal charging cycle. Overcharging could cause damage to the vehicle batteries and result in extreme overheating. The charger should be checked after 24 hours and unplugged after the charge cycle is complete.

Before charging the batteries, inspect the cord of the battery charger for missing or cracked insulation, inspect the plug to be sure the grounding prong is intact.

Charge the batteries after each day’s use.

Monthly

• Inspect all wiring for fraying, loose terminations, corrosion or deterioration of insulation.

• Check that the electrolyte level is correct and add suitable water as required.

• Clean the batteries and wire terminations.

• Coat battery terminals with commercially available protectant.

Electrolyte Level and Water

The correct level of the electrolyte is 1/2" (13 mm) above the plates in each cell.

This level will leave approximately 1/4" - 3/8" (6 - 10 mm) of space between the electrolyte and the vent tube. The electrolyte level is important since any portion of the plates exposed to air will be ruined beyond repair. Also avoid filling with too much water, which will result in electrolyte being forced out of the battery due to gassing and a decrease in volume of the electrolyte that results from the charging cycle.

37

MAINTENANCE


DO NOT overfill batteries. The charging cycle will expel electrolyte and result in component damage.

A battery being charged will’gas’ with the majority of the gassing taking place at the end of the charging cycle. This gas is hydrogen with is lighter than air. Water and sulphuric acid droplets will be carried out of the battery vents by the hydrogen gas, however, this loss is minimal. If the battery electrolyte level is too high, the electrolyte will block the vent tube and the gas will force it out of the vent tube and battery cap. The water will evaporate but the sulphuric acid will remain where it can damage vehicle components and the storage facility floor. Sulphuric acid loss will weaken the concentration of acid within the electrolyte and reduce the life of the battery.

Expansion

Space

Over the life of the battery, a considerable amount of water is consumed. It is important that the water used be pure and free of contaminants that could reduce the life of the battery by reducing the chemical reaction. The water must be distilled or purified by an efficient filtration system.

Water that is not distilled should be analyzed and, if required, filtration installed to permit the water to meet the requirements of the water purity table.

Even if the water is colorless, odorless, tasteless and fit for drinking, the water should be analyzed to see that it does not exceed the impurity levels specified in the table.

Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding water or charging batteries.

39

MAINTENANCE


Battery Cleaning

To prevent battery damage, be sure that all battery caps are tightly installed.

To reduce the possibility of damage to vehicle or floor, neutralize acid before rinsing battery.

To reduce the possibility of damage to electrical components while cleaning, do not use a pressure washer.

Cleaning should take place per the Periodic Service Schedule.

When cleaning the outside of the batteries and terminals, do not use a water hose without first spraying the batteries with a solution of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water to neutralize any acid deposits. Use of a water hose without first neutralizing the acid will move the acid from the top of the batteries to another area of the vehicle or storage facility, where it will attack the metal structure or the concrete/asphalt floor. After hosing down the batteries, a residue will be left on the batteries which is conductive and will contribute to the discharge of the batteries.

NOTICE

To reduce the possibility of battery explosion that could result in severe injury or death, do not use metallic spray wand to clean battery and keep all smoking materials, open flame or sparks away from the battery.

The correct cleaning technique is to spray the top and sides of the batteries with a solution of baking soda and water.

This solution is best applied with a garden-type sprayer equipped with a non-metallic spray wand or plastic spray bottle. The solution should consist of 1/4 cup (60 ml) of baking soda mixed with 1 1/2 gallons (6 litres) of clear water.

In addition to the batteries special attention should be paid to metallic components adjacent to the batteries, these should also be sprayed with the baking soda solution.

Allow the solution to set for at least three minutes; use a soft bristle brush or cloth to wipe the tops of the batteries in order to remove any residue that could cause the self-discharge of the battery. Rinse the entire area with low pressure clear water. All of the items required for complete battery cleaning and watering are contained in the Battery Maintenance

Kit (P/N 25587-

Aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant must be used with extreme care. Insulate the metal container to prevent the can from contacting the battery terminals.

40

MAINTENANCE


Battery Replacement

Remove battery hold downs and cables. Lift out batteries with a commercially available lifting device.

If the batteries have been cleaned and any acid in the battery rack area neutralized as recommended, no corrosion to the battery racks or surrounding area should be present. Any corrosion found should be immediately removed with a putty knife and a wire brush. The area should be washed with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water and thoroughly dried before priming and painting with a corrosion resistant paint.

The batteries should be placed into the battery racks and the battery hold downs tightened to 45 - 55 in. lbs. (5 - 6

Nm) torque, to prevent movement but not tight enough to cause distortion of the battery cases.

Inspect all wires and terminals. Clean any corrosion from the battery terminals or the wire terminals with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and brush clean if required.

To prevent battery explosion that could result in severe personal injury or death, extreme care must be used with aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant. Insulate the metal container to prevent the metal can from contacting battery terminals which could result in an explosion.

Use care to connect the battery wires as shown.

Tighten the battery post hardware to 90 - 100 in. lbs. (10 - 11 Nm) torque . Do not over-torque the terminal stud nut, this will cause a “mushroom” effect on the battery post which will prevent the terminal nut from being properly tightened.

Protect the battery terminals and battery wire terminals with a commercially available coating.

MAINTENANCE


Prolonged Storage

Battery charger, controller and other electronic devices need to be disconnected since they will contribute to the premature discharge of batteries.

NOTICE

The RUN-TOW/MAINTENANCE/STORAGE switch, located behind the access panel in the dash is set to TOW/MAINTENANCE/

STORAGE position for long term storage of the vehicle to avoid draining of the batteries.

During periods of storage, the batteries will need attention to keep them maintained and prevent discharge. In high temperatures the chemical reaction is faster, while low temperatures cause the chemical reaction to slow down. A vehicle that is stored at 90° F (32° C) will lose.002 of specific gravity each day. If a fully charged battery has a specific gravity of

1.275, and the battery is allowed to sit unused, it will become partially discharged. When it reaches 1.240, which it will do in less than twenty days, it should be recharged. If a battery is left in a discharged state, sulfating takes place on and within the plates. This condition is not reversible and will cause permanent damage to the battery. In order to prevent damage, the battery should be recharged. A hydrometer can be used to determine the specific gravity and therefore the state of charge of a battery.

In winter conditions, the battery must be fully charged to prevent the possibility of freezing. A fully charged battery will not freeze in temperatures above -75° F (-60° C). Although the chemical reaction is slowed in cold temperatures, the battery must be stored fully charged, and disconnected from any circuit that could discharge the battery. For on-board chargers, disconnect the charging harness from the batteries. For portable chargers, disconnect the charging plug from the vehicle receptacle. The batteries must be cleaned and all deposits neutralized and removed from the battery case to prevent self discharge. The batteries should be tested or recharged at thirty day minimum intervals.

Battery Charging

The battery charger is designed to fully charge the battery set. If the batteries are severely deep cycled, some automatic battery chargers contain an electronic module that may not activate and the battery charger will not function.

Automatic chargers will determine the correct duration of charge to the battery set and will shut off when the battery set is fully charged. Always refer to the instructions of the specific charger used.

Before charging, the following should be observed: SPECIFIC GRAVITY ELECTROLYTE FREEZING POINT

Do not overfill batteries. The charging cycle will expel electrolyte and result in component damage.

• The electrolyte level in all cells must be at the recommended level and cover the plates.

• The charging must take place in a non-hazardous area that is well ventilated and capable of removing the hydrogen gas that is generated by the charging process. A minimum of five air exchanges per hour is recommended.

• The charging connector components must be in good condition and free from dirt or debris.

• The charger connector must be fully inserted into the vehicle receptacle.

• The charger connector/cord set is protected from damage and is located in an area to prevent injury that may result from personnel running over or tripping over the cord set.

42

MAINTENANCE


• The charger is automatically turned off during the connect/disconnect cycle and therefore no electrical arc is generated at the DC plug/receptacle contacts.

NOTICE

In some portable chargers, there will be a rattle present in the body of the charger DC plug. This rattle is caused by an internal magnet contained within the charger plug. The magnet is part of the interlock system that prevents the vehicle from being driven when the charger plug is inserted in the vehicle charging receptacle.

AC Voltage

Battery charger output is directly related to the input voltage. If multiple vehicles are receiving an incomplete charge in a normally adequate time period, low AC voltage could be the cause and the power company should be consulted.

Troubleshooting

In general, troubleshooting will be done for two distinct reasons. First, a battery that performs poorly and is outside of the manufacturers specification should be identified in order to replace it under the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty. Different manufacturers have different requirements. Consult the battery manufacturer or the manufacturer’s representative for specific requirements.

The second reason is to determine why a particular vehicle does not perform adequately. Performance problems may result in a vehicle that runs slowly or in a vehicle that is unable to operate for the time required.

A new battery must mature before it will develop its maximum capacity. Maturing may take up to 100 charge/discharge cycles. After the maturing phase, the older a battery gets, the lower the capacity. The only way to determine the capacity of a battery is to perform a load test using a discharge machine following manufacturer’s recommendations.

A cost effective way to identify a poorly performing battery is to use a hydrometer to identify a battery in a set with a lower than normal specific gravity. Once the particular cell or cells that are the problem are identified, the suspect battery can be removed and replaced. At this point there is nothing that can be done to salvage the battery; however, the individual battery should be replaced with a good battery of the same brand, type and approximate age.

HYDROMETER

A hydrometer ( P/N 50900-G1 ) is used to test the state of charge of a battery cell. This is performed by measuring the density of the electrolyte, which is accomplished by measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte. The greater the concentration of sulfuric acid, the more dense the electrolyte becomes. The higher the density, the higher the state of charge.

To prevent battery explosion that could result in severe personal injury or death, never insert a metal thermometer into a battery. Use a hydrometer with a built in thermometer that is designed for testing batteries.

Weight

Specific gravity is the measurement of a liquid that is compared to a baseline. The baseline is water which is assigned a base number of 1.000. The concentration of sulfuric acid to water in a new golf car battery is 1.280

Hydrometer which means that the electrolyte weighs 1.280 times the weight of the same volume of water. A fully charged battery will test at 1.275 - 1.280 while a discharged battery will read in the 1.140 range.

MAINTENANCE


NOTICE

Do not perform a hydrometer test on a battery that has just been watered. The battery must go through at least one charge and discharge cycle in order to permit the water to adequately mix with the electrolyte.

The temperature of the electrolyte is important since the hydrometer reading must be corrected to 80° F (27° C).

High quality hydrometers are equipped with an internal thermometer that will measure the temperature of the electrolyte and will include a conversion scale to correct the float reading. It is important to recognize that the electrolyte temperature is significantly different from the ambient temperature if the vehicle has been operated.

Using A Hydrometer

1. Draw electrolyte into the hydrometer several times to permit the thermometer to adjust to the electrolyte temperature and note the reading. Examine the color of the electrolyte. A brown or gray coloration indicates a problem with the battery and is a sign that the battery is nearing the end of its life.

2. Draw the minimum quantity of electrolyte into the hydrometer to permit the float to float freely without contacting the top or bottom of the cylinder.

3. Hold the hydrometer in a vertical position at eye level and note the reading where the electrolyte meets the scale on the float.

4. Add or subtract four points (.004) to the reading for every 10° F (6° C) the electrolyte temperature is above or below 80° F (27° C). Adjust the reading to conform with the electrolyte temperature, e.g., if the reading indicates a specific gravity of 1.250 and the electrolyte temperature is 90° F (32° C), add four points (.004) to the

1.250 which gives a corrected reading of 1.254. Similarly if the temperature was 70° F (21° C), subtract four points (.004) from the 1.250 to give a corrected reading of 1.246.

5. Test each cell and note the readings (corrected to 80° F or 27° C). A variation of fifty points between any two cell readings (example 1.250 - 1.200) indicates a problem with the low reading cell(s).

READING

As a battery ages the specific gravity of the electrolyte will decrease at full charge. This is not a reason to replace the battery providing all cells are within fifty points of each other.

Since the hydrometer test is in response to a vehicle exhibiting a performance problem, the vehicle should be recharged and the test repeated. If the results indicate a weak cell, the battery or batteries should be removed and

Hydrometer Temperature Correction replaced with a good battery of the same brand, type and approximate age.

Owner’s Guide

Read the following warnings before operating vehicle:

To prevent personal injury or death, observe the following:

When vehicle is to be left unattended, engage park brake, move direction selector to neutral, turn key to OFF position and remove from key switch.

Drive vehicle only as fast as terrain and safety considerations allow. Consider environmental factors which effect the terrain and the ability to control the vehicle.

Avoid driving fast down hill. Sudden stops or change of direction may result in loss of control. Use service brake to control speed when traveling down an incline.

Use extra care and reduced speed when driving on poor surfaces, such as loose dirt, wet grass, gravel, etc.

All travel should be directly up or down hills; use extra care if ever forced to drive across an incline.

Stay in designated areas and avoid steep slopes. Activate the park brake when the vehicle is parked.

Keep feet, legs, hands and arms inside vehicle at all times.

Avoid extremely rough terrain.

Check area behind the vehicle before operating in reverse.

Make sure direction selector is in desired position before starting the vehicle.

Slow down before and during turns.

A l l t u r n s s h o u l d b e e x e c u t e d a t reduced speed.

Always bring vehicle to a complete stop before shifting direction selector.

See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle load and seating capacity.

Read the following information and warnings before operating vehicle:

In any product, components will eventually fail to perform properly as the result of normal use, age, wear or abuse.

It is virtually impossible to anticipate all possible component failures or the manner in which they may fail.

A vehicle requiring repair indicates that it is no longer functioning as designed and therefore should be considered potentially hazardous.

Use extreme care when working on vehicle. When diagnosing, removing or replacing any components that are not operating properly, take time to consider the safety of yourself and others around you should the component move unexpectedly.

Some components are heavy, spring loaded, highly corrosive, explosive, may produce high amperage or reach high temperatures. Battery acid and hydrogen gas could result in serious bodily injury to the technician/mechanic and bystanders if not treated with utmost caution. Be careful not to place hands, face, feet or body in a location that could expose them to injury should an unexpected situation occur.

Always use the appropriate tools listed in the tool list and wear approved safety equipment.

Before working on vehicle, remove all jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.).

Be sure no loose clothing or hair can contact moving parts.

Use care not to touch hot objects.

Raise rear of vehicle and support on jack stands before running or adjusting powertrain.

Wear eye protection when working on or around the vehicle. In particular, use care when working around batteries, using solvents, or compressed air.

Hydrogen gas forms when charging batteries.

Do not charge batteries without adequate ventilation.

Do no permit open flame or smokers in an area being used for charging batteries. A concentration of 4% hydrogen gas or more is explosive.
