ii Owner’s Manual
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.
When servicing engines, all adjustments and replacement components must be per original
vehicle specifications in order to maintain the United States of america Federal and State
emission certification applicable at the time of manufacture.
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
Batteries self-discharge over time. The rate of self-discharge varies depending on the
ambient temperature, the age and condition of the batteries.
Fully charged batteries 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.
The batteries must be checked and recharged as required or at a minimum of 30 day
intervals.
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.
WARRANTY
Separate inserts supplied in packaging with the vehicle provide information on Product
Warranty and on Emissions Warranty. Failure to follow instructions for emission parts
replacement may violate Federal Law (40 CFR part 1068.105 (b)) and be subject to fines and
other penalties as described in the Clean Air Act.

Owner’s Manual
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 stric-
tures 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 Identifi-
cation 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 INACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE REQUIREMENTS.
This restriction is important to the SAFE USE AND OPERATION of the product.
All customers should adhere to this SAFETYRESTRICTION, 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).
GENERAL
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 pay-
ing 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.
E-Z-GO reserves the right to make design changes without obligation to make these changes on units previously sold.
The information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.
E-Z-GO IS NOT LIABLE FOR ERRORS IN THIS MANUAL. E-Z-GO IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSE-
QUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE MATERIAL IN THIS MANUAL.

General Information
If the vehicle is equipped with factory installed custom accessories, some accessories remain operational with the key
switch in the ‘OFF’ position.
ALL accessories that do NOT use the accessory wiring harness MUST be connected to draw from the entire
48 Volt battery pack. A DC to DC converter is required for accessories that require voltage other than 48 volts
to operate properly.
Accessories connected to this vehicle that do not use the accessory harness must be connected to the DC to DC con-
verter.
