FOREWORD
Club Car vehicles are designed and built to provide the ultimate in performance efficiency; however, proper
maintenance and repair are essential for achieving maximum service life and continued safe and reliable
operation.
This manual provides detailed information for the maintenance and repair of the electric Precedent vehicles,
and should be thoroughly reviewed prior to servicing the vehicle. The procedures provided herein must be
properly implemented, and the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION statements must be heeded.
This manual was written for the trained technician who already possesses knowledge and skills in electrical
and mechanical repair. If the technician does not have such knowledge and skills, attempted service or
repairs to the vehicle may render the vehicle unsafe. For this reason, Club Car advises that all repairs and/or
service be performed by an authorized Club Car distributor/dealer representative or by a Club Car factory-
trained technician.
It is the policy of Club Car, Inc. to assist its distributors and dealers in continually updating their service knowl-
edge and facilities so they can provide prompt and efficient service for vehicle owners. Regional technical rep-
resentatives, vehicle service seminars, periodic service bulletins, maintenance and service manuals, and
other service publications also represent Club Car’s continuing commitment to customer support.
This manual covers all aspects of typical vehicle service; unique situations, however, do sometimes occur
when servicing a vehicle. If it appears that a service question is not answered in this manual, you may write
to us at: Club Car, Inc.; P.O. Box 204658; Augusta, Georgia 30917; Attention: Technical Services, or contact

SAFETY COMMITTEE
If the golf car is to be rented or is part of a fleet, we strongly recommend that a safety committee be appointed.
One of the main concerns of this committee should be the safe operation of the golf cars.
This should include at a minimum:
• Where golf cars should be driven.
• Ensuring that proper warnings of driving hazards are displayed and visible. See below for list of signs
available from Club Car Service Parts Department.
• Who should and who should not drive golf cars.
• Instructing first time drivers.
• Maintaining golf cars in a safe driving condition
• How various rules are to be enforced.
The safety committee should include all these items and such others as the committee feels necessary or
appropriate.
STORAGE
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
∆ WARNING
•Turn the key switch OFF, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse switch in the
NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle or a
fire hazard.
•Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery.
Frozen batteries can explode.
∆
CAUTION
•Batteries in low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
•When washing the vehicle, do not direct water stream at the Forward/Reverse switch or other
electrical components.

2. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
3. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.
4. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Section 2 –Vehicle Specifications.
5. Perform all semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication Schedule, Section 10, Page 10-4..
6. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, battery compartment, and underside of vehicle.
7. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
8. Keep batteries fully charged during storage.
•Chargers: Leave chargers plugged in during storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate
the charger when necessary. If the battery charger is left plugged in during extended storage, the elec-
trolyte should be checked monthly to ensure that proper level is maintained. AC power should also be
checked periodically.
•If charger cannot remain plugged in, or AC power will not be available during extended storage, discon-
nect the batteries for storage. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...”in
General Warnings,
Section 1, Page 1-1
.
CAUTION
•Check the vehicle monthly to ensure the charger is operating correctly during storage.
RETURNING THE STORED ELECTRIC VEHICLE TO SERVICE
1. If necessary, connect batteries.
2. Fully charge batteries.
∆ WARNING
•Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery.

SECTION 4 –BODY AND TRIM
∆ DANGER
•See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
∆ WARNING
•See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
CLEANING THE VEHICLE
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
CAUTION
•Do not use detergents or cleaning solvents that contain ammonia, aromatic solvents, or alkali
materials on body panels or seats.
•Do not allow battery acid to drip on body panels. Battery acid will cause permanent damage.
Wash spilled battery acid from body panels immediately.
Club Car Precedent vehicles are equipped with Surlyn®front and rear bodies. Use only commercially avail-
able automotive cleaners with a sponge or soft cloth for normal cleaning. A garden hose at normal residential
water pressure is adequate.
Club Car does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process (especially
if the vehicle has a Surlyn rear body that is removed) will expose electrical components to moisture. Moisture
entering electrical components can result in water damage and subsequent component failure.
Use non-abrasive wax products. Do not use abrasive leveling or rubbing compounds; these will permanently
dull the gloss. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should be removed
immediately to prevent possible stains.
NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.
SEAT
To preserve seat appearance, clean regularly with mild soap or detergent applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
Use a soft bristle brush to clean areas that are especially soiled. Use the following guidelines:
Light Soiling: A solution of 10% liquid dish soap and warm water applied with a soft, damp cloth is
recommended. A soft bristle brush may be used if necessary. Wipe off any residue with a water damp-
ened cloth.
Difficult Stains: Dampen a soft, white cloth with a solution of 10% household bleach (sodium
hypochlorite) and 90% water. Rub gently to remove stain, then rinse with a water dampened cloth to
remove bleach concentration.
More Difficult Stains: Perform previous procedure using full-strength bleach, or allow bleach to puddle
on affected area for approximately 30 minutes. Rinse with a water dampened cloth to remove any
remaining bleach concentration.

See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
STRESS LINES OR STREAKS
Repeatedly flexing the Surlyn body can cause white stress lines or streaks in the finish. To remove them:
1. Hold a heat gun 12 inches (30 cm) away from the affected area, with the gun on its lowest heat setting.
2. Slowly wave the heat gun back and forth over the affected area until the streak fades.
3. It may be necessary to move the gun closer to the body to fade the streak, but under no circumstance
should the gun be held closer than 6 inches (15 cm) to the body.
CAUTION
•Holding the heat gun too close to the body could melt the body or damage the finish.
MINOR IMPACT DAMAGE/DEFORMATIONS
Minor impact damage to a Surlyn body can be repaired using a procedure similar to the one used to remove
stress lines. To remove deformations resulting from minor impact damage:
1. Hold a heat gun 12 inches (30 cm) away from the affected area, with the gun on its lowest heat setting.
2. Periodically remove the heat gun and bend the body, using a push block, in the opposite direction of the
deformation.
3. Continue heating and bending the body until the original shape returns. Under no circumstance should
the gun be held closer than 6 inches (15 cm) to the body. See preceding CAUTION.
MINOR SCRATCHES AND SURFACE BLEMISHES
For minor scratches or blemishes in the Surlyn body that do not penetrate the finish:
1. Thoroughly clean the affected area using a strong, non-abrasive detergent and hot water, then clean with
Ultra-Kleen®Solvent Cleaner to remove any oil-based contaminants.
2. Lightly buff imperfection with a clean soft cloth or buff pad. Do not use any kind of rubbing (abrasive) com-
pound on body assemblies.
3. Wax the entire body part to restore luster and weather protection.
GOUGES, PUNCTURES, TEARS, LARGE SCRATCHES, AND ABRASIONS
Touch-up is not recommended. Replace the entire body part or have it repaired by a professional paint and
body repair shop with experience repairing Surlyn®bodies.
