MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS	19
1. For flooded lead-acid batteries, regularly check the water levels of each battery cell after charging and add distilled water...	19
2. Make sure the charger connections to the battery terminals are tight and clean. Check for any deformations or cracks in the p...	20
3. Keep the cooling fins free of dirt and debris, do not expose the charger to oil, dirt, mud or to direct heavy water spray when cleaning equipment.	20
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.	20
If vehicle is to be charged with a non E-Z-GO charger, refer to the instructions supplied with the charger.	20

Performance Options	22
Fig. 9 Performance Options	22
1. The All-Terrain performance option: The vehicle’s top speed is sensed and regulated directly by the controller.	22
2. The Steep Hill performance option: This option includes all of the driving features and top speed of All-Terrain plus pedal-up braking. This is the strongest of the two pedal-up braking options.	22
3. The Mild Hill performance option: This option includes all of the driving features of the Steep Hill option, except the pedal-up braking feel is milder and the top speed is slightly higher.	23
Regenerative Braking	23
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope	23
b) the vehicle attempts to exceed the specified top speed with the accelerator pedal depressed or released	23
Pedal-Up Braking	23
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope	23
b) the accelerator pedal is released for more than one second	23
Walk-Away Feature	23
a) the vehicle has been stopped for more than 1.5 seconds	23
b) the accelerator pedal has been released for more than one second	23
c) the vehicle begins to roll above 2 mph (3 kph)	23
Anti-Roll Back Feature	23
Anti-Stall Feature	23
a) the system senses that the accelerator pedal is depressed (power applied to motor)	23
b) the motor is stalled long enough that any more time may cause motor damage	23
a) the system senses that the accelerator pedal is depressed (power applied to motor)	23
b) the brake is engaged so as to prevent vehicle motion	23

Diagnostic Mode Feature	24
Starting And Driving	24
Starting Vehicle On A Hill	24
Coasting	24
This model is equipped with a feature (pedal-up braking) that slows the vehicle’s speed when the accelerator pedal is released until the vehicle stops.	24

Tire Repair	26
Tire plug tools and plugs are available at most automotive parts outlets and have the advantage of not requiring the tire be removed from the wheel.	26

Wheel Installation	27
It is important to follow the ‘cross sequence’ pattern when installing lug nuts. This will assure even seating of the wheel against the hub.	27

Hydrometer	36
Do not perform a hydrometer test on a battery that has just been watered. The battery must go through at least one charge and discharge cycle in order to permit the water to adequately mix with the electrolyte.	36
Using A Hydrometer	36
1. Draw electrolyte into the hydrometer several times to permit the thermometer to adjust to the electrolyte temperature and not...	36
2. Draw the minimum quantity of electrolyte into the hydrometer to permit the float to float freely without contacting the top or bottom of the cylinder.	36
3. Hold the hydrometer in a vertical position at eye level and note the reading where the electrolyte meets the scale on the float.	36
4. Add or subtract four points (.004) to the reading for every 10° F (6° C) the electrolyte temperature is above or below 80° F ...	36
5. Test each cell and note the readings (corrected to 80° F or 27° C). A variation of fifty points between any two cell readings (example 1.250 - 1.200) indicates a problem with the low reading cell(s).	36
