B
dicated by the number of RED flashes that occur, there
will be a pause and then the flashes will repeat again.
There are several possible conditions that will generate
errors. Some errors will require human intervention to
first resolve the problem and then reset the charger by
unplugging the DC cord from the vehicle.
If the AC voltage is interrupted and restored, the charger
will turn back on automatically.
LED OPERATION CODES:
SHORT GREEN FLASH = less than 80% charged
LONG GREEN FLASH = more than 80% charged
SOLID GREEN = 100% charged
RED FLASH = fault code
LED FAULT CODES:
RED FLASH: Light turns on briefly, but does not
flash after that - check for valid AC voltage.
ONE RED FLASH: One flash, a pause and then
again one flash and a pause - Charge Enable
Fault: poor contact in the DC connector or dirty
contacts or Battery Temperature Fault: battery
temperature is greater than 122° F (50° C) or less
than 14° F (-10° C).
TWO RED FLASHES: Two flashes, a pause and
then again two flashes and a pause - Battery Volt-
age Fault: Battery pack is less than 36.0 Volts or
more than 67.2 Volts. Battery pack is too dis-
charged or over charged for the charger to work.
THREE RED FLASHES: Three flashes, a pause
and then again three flashes and a pause - Bat-
tery Charge Time-out: Charge time exceeded 24
hours. This may indicate a problem with the bat-
tery pack or that the charger output current was
severely reduced due to high ambient tempera-
tures.
FOUR RED FLASHES: Four flashes, a pause and
then again four flashes and a pause - Battery
Fault: Charge time exceeded. This indicates a
problem with the battery pack voltage not reach-
ing the required nominal level within the maxi-
mum time allowed.
SIX RED FLASHES: Six flashes, a pause and
then again six flashes and a pause - Charger
Fault: An internal fault has been detected. If this
fault is displayed again after unplugging the char-
ger’s DC power cord and plugging it back in, the
charger must be taken to a qualified service cen-

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. For flooded lead-acid batteries, regularly check the
water levels of each battery cell after charging and
add distilled water as required to the level specified by
the battery manufacturer. Follow the safety instruc-
tions recommended by the battery manufacturer.
2. Make sure the charger connections to the battery ter-
minals are tight and clean. Check for any deforma-
tions or cracks in the plastic parts. Check the charger
harness for chaffing and rubbing. Inspect all wiring for
fraying, loose terminals, chaffing, corrosion or deterio-
ration of the insulation.
3. Keep the cooling fins free of dirt and debris, do not ex-
pose the charger to oil, dirt, mud or to direct heavy wa-
ter spray when cleaning equipment.
4. Inspect the plug of the battery charger and the vehicle
receptacle housing for dirt or debris. Clean the DC
connector monthly or more often if needed.
If vehicle is to be charged with a non E-Z-GO charger, refer to
the instructions supplied with the charger.
