Understanding the Charger

The vehicle is equipped with an on-board charger and DC to DC converter to power 12 volt accessories.
This allows your accessories to draw from the full battery pack, so that one battery is not damaged due to
the increased current draw on a single battery.

The charger automatically starts as the AC plug is plugged into the receptacle. NOTE: a spark may be visi­ble when as the plug is connected, this is normal and not a safety issue. The charger must be connected
to a dedicated 15-amp (minimum) circuit.

Within two seconds after the AC plug has been engaged, the receptacle LED shall perform a <3 second
RED/GREEN self-test flash. The receptacle LED will then flash SHORT GREEN to indicate “CHARGING
<80%” and a low charge current shall be applied for a minimum of five seconds until the battery voltage
reaches a minimum 1.95Vpc, or a time-out error condition has occurred. Receptacle LED will flash SHORT
AMBER if charger is operating in reduced output mode due to thermal cutback.

The charger output will turn off and the receptacle LED will continuously illuminate GREEN to indicate
‘CHARGED’.

If left plugged into the vehicle, the charger will automatically restart if the battery pack drops below 2.08
Vpc (Volts per cell).

If the AC is removed, the charger will turn off the receptacle LED and the charger will terminate charging.

• Charger input voltage 95 to 230 VAC power.

• 9 Amp input current required.

• Frequency 45-65 hertz.

The charger will output 13A at 48V, and the DC to DC converter will output 30A at 12V.

Regenerative Braking

To prevent the possibility of loss of control that could cause severe injury or
death, use brake to reduce speed.

This vehicle is equipped with a regenerative motor control system. If the vehicle is being driven down a slope
and the driver attempts to exceed the specified top speed (with the accelerator pedal depressed or released),
the regenerative braking will limit the speed of the vehicle to the specified top speed. When the regenerative
braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power that is returned to the bat­teries.

When the vehicle speed is reduced below the maximum by using the brake, the speed will not increase
unless the throttle is increased. When the brake pedal is released, the vehicle will slow down as it does with
pedal up braking.

Pedal-Up Braking

Pedal-up braking is regenerative braking that occurs when the accelerator pedal is released while the
vehicle is moving. If the vehicle is being driven down a slope and the accelerator pedal is released, pedal­up braking will slow the vehicle until the vehicle stops, or the accelerator pedal is applied. When pedal-up
braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power that is returned to the
batteries.

WHEELS AND TIRES

A tire explosion can cause severe injury or death. Never exceed the inflation pres­sure rating on the tire sidewall.

To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, pressurize tire with small amounts of
air applied intermittently to seat beads. Due to the low volume of the small tires,
overinflation can occur in seconds. Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s recom­mendation when seating a bead. Protect face and eyes from escaping air when
removing a valve core.

DO NOT use low inflation tires on any E-Z-GO vehicle. DO NOT use any tire which
has a recommended inflation pressure less than the inflation pressure recom­mended in the owner’s guide.

Use caution when inflating tires. Overinflation could cause the tire to separate
from the wheel or cause the tire to explode, either of which could cause severe
injury.

TRANSPORTING VEHICLE

Hauling

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death while transporting the vehicle:

Secure the vehicle and contents.
Never ride on the vehicle being transported.

The vehicle must be transported in the forward-facing position.
Maximum speed while hauling the vehicle is 70 mph (112 kph).

If the vehicle is to be transported at highway speeds, the seat bottom and controls must be secured. Always
check that the vehicle and contents are adequately secured before transporting. The rated capacity of the
trailer or truck must exceed the weight of the vehicle (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle weight)
and the load plus 1000 lbs. (454 kg). Secure the vehicle using ratchet tiedowns.

In the event that the vehicle will not move in forward or reverse, the parking brake can be released using the
Run/Tow switch located under the seat on the passenger side. With the switch toggled to the ‘TOW’ position
and the key switch in neutral (N) position, the vehicle will roll freely without activating the reverse warning
beeper or damaging the controller and motor. After moving the vehicle, return the Run/Tow switch to the
‘RUN-STORAGE’ position; leaving the switch in the ‘TOW’ position will drain the batteries.
