Page 3: Safety Information
EPIC CART is not liable for errors in this manual or for incidental or consequential damages that result from the use of the material in this manual. - Page 4 GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES 1.1 Introduction Like other machines, EPIC CART can cause injury if improperly used or maintained. Part II contains broad safety practices applicable to EPIC CART operations. Before operation, the user shall establish such additional specific safety practices as may reasonably be required for safe operation.
- Page 5 2.1.3 When an EPIC CART is to be left unattended, stop it, apply the parking brake, stop the engine, or turn off power, turn off the control or ignition circuit, and remove the key if provided. Block the wheels if machine is on an incline.
- Page 6 SAFETY INFORMATION 2.3 Loading 2.3.1 At the beginning of each shift during which the EPIC CART will be used, the operator shall check the EPIC CART condition and inspect the tires, warning devices, lights, battery, speed and directional controllers, brakes, and steering mechanism. If the EPIC CART is found to be in need of repair or in any way unsafe, the matter shall be reported immediately to the designated authority and the EPIC CART shall not be operated until it has been restored to sage operating condition.
- Page 7 1.2.1 Wet and Loose Terrain Wet grassy areas and loose terrain may cause an EPIC CART to lose traction and may affect stability. Wet areas and loose terrain shall be chained or roped off to prevent EPIC CART operations or be identified by a suitable warning not to operate EPIC CART in this area due to wet and loose terrain.
- Page 8 CART manufacturers and the safety rules in a conspicuous place near the EPIC CART rental area or EPIC CART pick-up area. It is also recommended, as with all motor vehicles, that the warning “Do not operate EPIC CART when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.” Be posted in a conspicuous location.

Page 12: Operating The Vehicle
OPERATION INFORMATION HORN The horn is operated by pushing the horn button located on (Ref Fig.4) Fig. 4 OPERATING THE VEHICLE CAUTION Improper use of the vehicle or the lack of proper maintenance may result in damage or decreased performance. Read and understand the following warnings before attempting to operate the vehicle. - Page 13 OPERATION INFORMATION WARNING To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from improper vehicle operation, the following warnings must be observed: Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for seating capacity. Depressing accelerator pedal will release foot operated park brake and may cause inadvertent vehicle movement. Turn the key to the ‘OFF’...
- Page 14 OPERATION INFORMATION VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE VECHILE CLEANING WARNING To reduce the possibility of severe injury or vehicle damage, read and understand all instructions supplied by manufacturer of pressure washer. CAUTION When pressure washing exterior of vehicle, do not use pressure in excess of standard requirement.
- Page 15 OPERATION INFORMATION ● Change the gear oil once a year for the rear axle. The oil model is GL-5 90 (used in summer in the south or north) or GL-5 80W/90 (in severe cold areas or winter in the north, -35℃ or below) gear oil. It is 1.2 liters. When replacing, first unscrew the oil drain plug, drain the gear oil, clean, and install the oil drain plug, and then add new gear oil from the filling hole.

Page 16: Prolonged Storage
OPERATION INFORMATION Prolonged Storage CAUTION Battery charger, controller and other electronic devices need to be disconnected since they will contribute to the premature discharge of batteries. During periods of storage, the batteries will need attention to keep them maintained and prevent discharge. In high temperatures the chemical reaction is faster, while low temperatures cause the chemical reaction to slow down. - Page 17 OPERATION INFORMATION Fig. 6 ⚫ The charging must take place in an area that is well ventilated and capable of removing the hydrogen gas that is generated by the charging process. A minimum of five air exchanges per hour is recommended ⚫...
- Page 18 OPERATION INFORMATION TROUBLESHOOTING In general, troubleshooting will be done for two distinct reasons. First, a battery that performs poorly and is outside of the manufacturer’s specification should be identified in order to replace it under the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty. Different manufacturers have different requirements.

Page 19: Using A Hydrometer
OPERATION INFORMATION Fig.8 Specific gravity is the measurement of a liquid that is compared to a baseline. The baseline is water which is assigned a base number of 1.000. The concentration of sulfuric acid to water in a new golf car battery is 1.280 which means that the electrolyte weighs 1.280 times the weight of the same volume of water. -
Page 20: Battery Maintenance
OPERATION INFORMATION 3. Hold the hydrometer in a vertical position at eye level and note the reading where the electrolyte meets the scale on the float. 4. ρ25℃ = ρt +0.0007（t-25) ρ25℃ ——25℃ electrolyte specific gravity ； ρ t ——t℃ electrolyte specific gravity. 5. - Page 21 OPERATION INFORMATION Battery care and maintenance (If equipped with Flooded Batteries) This car uses a high-quality battery pack specially designed for electric vehicle as its power source. It has the characteristics of large current, large capacity and long duration. Correct maintenance is essential to maintain good performance and improve battery life.
- Page 22 OPERATION INFORMATION ● If the vehicle is not used for a long time, the battery should be fully charged and stored, and charged at least once a month. The charging time is 24 hours. A safe charge and discharge can be performed when conditions permit, and an equalization charge can be performed before reuse ●...
- Page 23 OPERATION INFORMATION Specific Gravity Testing (If equipped with Flooded Batteries) 1. Do not add water at this time. 2. Wash hydrometer with deionized water first 3. Fill and drain the hydrometer 2 to 4 times before pulling out a sample. 4.

Page 24: Open-Circuit Voltage Test
OPERATION INFORMATION Open-Circuit Voltage Test For accurate voltage readings, batteries must remain idle (no charging, no discharging) for at least 6 hrs., preferably 24 hrs. 1. Disconnect all loads from the batteries. 2. Measure the voltage using a DC voltmeter. 3. -
Page 25: Charging
OPERATION INFORMATION 2. If there is no electrolyte visible, add just enough distilled/deionized water to cover the plates. 3.Replace and tighten all water vent caps. 4. Put batteries on a complete charge before adding any additional water (refer to the Charging section). 5. -
Page 26: Cleaning
OPERATION INFORMATION To increase amp-hour capacity, connect batteries in parallel. Battery System:6 Volt,452 AH Using Two DT106 Deep Cycle Batteries (6 Volts,226AH) To increase both voltage and amp-hour capacity, Connect batteries in series/parallel. Battery System: 12 Volt, 452 AH Using Four DT106 Deep Cycle Batteries (6 Volts,226 AH) NOTE These systems can also be configured using 12-volt batteries. - Page 27 OPERATION INFORMATION The most important things to avoid: 1. Freezing: Avoid locations where freezing temperature is expected. Keeping a battery at a high state of charge will also prevent freezing. (See Table2) 2. Heat: Avoid direct exposure to heat sources, such as radiators or space heaters. Temperatures above 80°F accelerate the battery's self-discharge characteristics.
- Page 28 OPERATION INFORMATION 9. Electrolyte——In a deep cycle battery, it is a dilute solution of sulfuric acid and water. 10. Hydrometer——A tool used to measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte solution. 11. Equalization——An overcharge performed on flooded lead-acid batteries after they have been fully charged. This maintenance step helps eliminate stratification and sulfation.
