Owner’s Guide iii
This vehicle was 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.
Use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved parts to keep the warranty
effective.
If you do not correctly maintain the batteries, you will cancel the warranty. Refer to
the MAINTENANCE section for instructions on the correct maintenance of the bat-
teries.
BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE
The batteries discharge over time. The rate of discharge changes according to the
ambient temperature, the age and condition of the batteries.

Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
NOTES
The battery charger can remain connected to the vehicle to keep a full charge on the
batteries while the charger is connected to an active electrical supply. If the power
to the electrical supply is disconnected or interrupted, the battery charger will con-
tinuously check the charge on the battery pack. A continuous check of the battery
pack will pull power from the battery pack and drain the batteries.
The batteries must be checked and charged again as required or at a minimum of
30-day intervals.
Check and keep correct fluid level in all battery cells during the storage period.
Correct fluid level is necessary for maximum battery performance.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Lead-acid batteries are recyclable. Return discarded batteries to distributor, manu-
facturer or lead smelter for recycling. For neutralized spills, put residue in acid-
resistant containers with absorbent material such as sand. Dispose in accordance
with local, state and federal regulations for acid and lead compounds. Contact local
or state environmental authorized people for the disposal information.

SAFETY
GENERAL
For any questions about material in this manual, contact an authorized representative.
Read and understand all labels on the vehicle. Always replace any damaged or missing labels.
On steep hills it is possible for vehicles to coast at greater speeds. To prevent loss of vehicle control and
possible serious injury, speeds should be limited to no more than 25 mph.
Catastrophic damage to the drivetrain components due to excessive speed may result from driving the
vehicle above 25 mph. Damage caused by excessive speed may cause a loss of vehicle control, is costly, is
considered abuse, and will not be covered under warranty.
NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS AND DANGERS
Read the NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS. The person who services a vehicle needs
the mechanical skill and experience to see possible hazardous conditions. Incorrect service or repairs can
cause damage to the vehicle or make the vehicle dangerous to operate.

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 warnings
and instructions combined. E-Z-GO strongly suggests that all users and maintenance personnel read this
