Repair and Service Manual
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Looping the DC cord through the steering
wheel when charging serves as a good
reminder to store the cord out of the way when finished with
charging. The DC plug can be damaged by driving over or
catching the cord on the vehicle when driving away. A charging
interlock feature on the PowerWise™ charger prevents vehicle
operation while the DC plug is inserted in vehicle receptacle.
An ungrounded electrical
device may become a
physical hazard that
could result in an electrical shock or electrocution.
The charging (DC) cord is equipped with a polarized con-
nector which fits into a matching receptacle on the vehi-
cle.
The power (AC) cord is equipped with a grounded plug.
Do not attempt to pull out, cut or bend the ground post.
If vehicle is to be charged with a non E-Z-GO
charger, refer to the instructions supplied with
the charger.
ON-BOARD CHARGER
The on-board charger is located under the seat on the
driver side. It is wired directly to the batteries, only requir-
ing it be plugged into a dedicated 15 amp AC outlet to be
operational (Ref Fig. 3 on page L-2). When charge cycle
is complete, replace cord onto the cord storage handle.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHARGER
The battery charger reacts to unusual situations in vari-
ous ways.
• If the charger is disconnected from the vehicle dur-
ing the charge cycle, it will shut off immediately.
• If the AC power is interrupted, the charge cycle will
continue normally for the remainder of the cycle
when the power is restored.
• If the batteries become fully charged in a short pe-
riod of time (under 2 hours), the charger will shut
off. If the open circuit battery voltage drops to the
point that charge is required the charger will turn it-
self on until the batteries are fully charged.
• The charger features an internal timer that will per-
mit no more than 16 hours of continuous charge.
To prevent electrical
shock or arc, which
could cause serious
body injury or damage to the facility or charger,
unplug the charger from both the AC and DC power
sources before starting any repair or maintenance
procedure.
OPENING THE CHARGER
Lethal voltages are
present when charger is
plugged in and the cover
is removed.
If you have any doubts regarding your ability to safely
perform the following test, have the charger repaired
by a trained electrician/technician.
Use extreme care not to permit the uninsulated por-
tion of test leads to contact any other component or
the chassis of the charger.
Remove the screws (1 and 2) securing the front and rear
of the handle (3) (Ref Fig. 4 on page L-3). This handle
acts as a “key” and must be removed to permit the
charger cover (4) to be removed.
Remove remaining screws (5) from sides and cover.
Tilt rear of the cover up and forward to release it from the
front face (6) of the charger.
Assembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.
