Looping the DC cord through the steering wheel when charg-
ing serves as a good reminder to store the cord out of the way
when finished with charging. The DC plug can be damaged by
driving over or catching the cord on the vehicle when driving
away.
An ungrounded electrical device may become
a physical hazard that could result in an elec-
trical shock or electrocution.
USING THE CHARGER
The charger may remain plugged into the AC outlet
when not in use. To charge the vehicle refer to the in-
struction labels on the charger. Insert the polarized DC
plug completely into the vehicle receptacle. The charger
will automatically start a few seconds after the plug is in
place. The charger will automatically stop when the bat-
teries are fully charged and the DC plug can be re-
moved to permit use of the vehicle.
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 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.
The charging (DC) cord is
equipped with a polarized
connector that fits into a
matching receptacle on the
vehicle. The receptacle is lo-
cated on the driver side of
the vehicle just below the
seat bottom.

If vehicle is to be charged with a non E-Z-GO charger, refer to
the instructions supplied with the charger.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHARGER
Plugging the charger into the vehicle’s charger recepta-
cle will lock the vehicle out of operation. When the char-
ger is plugged into the vehicle’s charger receptacle, the
charger will automatically turn on and the charger’s LED
and the vehicle receptacle’s LED will start flashing
GREEN to indicate the batteries are charging.
Once a minimum battery voltage of 2 volts per cell (Vpc)
is reached, the charger’s output current will change from
a full current charge to the trickle rated charging current.
The length of charge time will vary by how depleted the
batteries are, the input AC voltage, and/or charger am-
bient temperatures. The charger’s LED will give a
SHORT flash if the charge is less than 80% and a
LONG flash if the charge is greater than 80%. If the
charger’s LED is a steady GREEN the batteries are fully
charged and the charger may be unplugged, although
not necessary. The charger may be left plugged in for
long periods of time to maintain the batteries charge lev-
el.
If a fault occurred anytime during the charging the char-
ger’s LED will quickly flash RED. The specific fault is in-
