NOTE: Recycle or dispose of discarded batteries in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Club Car electric vehicles use deep-cycle batteries. Automotive batteries should never be used in electric vehicles. New batteries will not deliver their full capabilities until they have been discharged and recharged 50 to 70 times. To obtain maximum service life from new batteries, restrict the use of vehicles with new batteries to one hour of operation between charges for the first two months vehicle is in service.

Batteries – Electric Vehicles WATER QUALITY Water purity is the most important factor in the performance and life span of the vehicle batteries. Club Car has, therefore, placed an increased importance on battery maintenance. Outlined below are four battery watering procedures, grouped into two categories: Preferred and Alternate methods.

In this case, add just enough water to cover the plates, charge, and then check the level again. Never charge batteries if plates are exposed above electrolyte level. For best battery life, add only distilled water. See following CAUTION and NOTE. XRT 850 Electric and Gasoline Vehicle Owner’s Manual Page 45...

WARNING • Only trained technicians should repair or service the charger. Contact your nearest Club Car distributor/dealer. • Each charger should have its own dedicated 15 or 20 ampere separately protected (circuit breaker or fuse) single phase branch circuit, in accordance with all applicable electrical codes for the location.
Page 52
When inserting the DC plug, align the raised guide on the plug with the guide slot in the receptacle and push straight in slowly. Club Car battery chargers interact with the vehicle’s onboard computer. The computer records the amount of energy consumed during vehicle use. While the charger is plugged in, the vehicle’s control circuit is locked out, preventing operation of the vehicle as well as the possibility of consequent damage to the charger and the vehicle.
Page 53
Figure 25 Correct Insertion of Charger DC Plug Figure 26 Incorrect Insertion of Charger DC Plug Club Car electric vehicles are supplied with a battery charger. Other Club Car models or vehicles made by other manufacturers are not compatible. As long as the charger is allowed to shut off by itself, the batteries will be fully charged. Overcharging and undercharging will normally be prevented.
WARNING • If the receptacle fuse link is blown, determine the source of the electrical problem and correct it before replacing the fuse. Contact your nearest Club Car distributor/dealer. BATTERY CHARGER, QuiQ™ – ELECTRIC VEHICLES Electric vehicles shipped to the state of California use the Delta-Q QuiQ battery charger to meet CEC regulatory requirements.
Page 55
Refer all repair work to the manufacturer or qualified personnel. WARNING • Only trained technicians should repair or service the charger. Contact your nearest Club Car distributor/dealer. • This charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the charger by a person responsible for their safety.
Page 56
• Long-Term Storage Charge Club Car chargers are designed to be left connected with AC power to the charger during off-season or long-term storage. See Preparing the Electric Vehicle for Extended Storage on page 33. UL and CSA Listing When operated on a 120 VAC 60 Hz, this battery charger has been listed by UL and by the Canadian Underwriters and meets the criteria of the Canadian Standards Association.

NOTE: Batteries should be put on charge even if they have been used for only a short time, i.e., 10 minutes. The charger is automatic and will turn off when batteries are fully charged. If the charger does not seem to be operating properly, or if the batteries seem weak, contact a local Club Car distributor/dealer. Page 56...
Page 59
Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 amp hours of discharge between charges until the batteries have been properly seasoned (50 to 70 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car recommends that electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 amp hours of discharge or each night in order to avoid deep discharging the batteries.

The engine requires 40.5 fl-oz (1.2 L) of oil per change. 10W-30 or 5W-30 grade SE or higher is recommended. Refer to oil viscosity guidelines for selection of oil grade (Figure 33). Replace the dipstick. XRT 850 Electric and Gasoline Vehicle Owner’s Manual Page 61...
• Do not repeatedly attempt to start a vehicle when the fuel pump is dry (no gas in tank). Doing so can damage the fuel pump. Page 62 XRT 850 Electric and Gasoline Vehicle Owner’s Manual...
A garden hose at normal residential water pressure is adequate. Club Car does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process (especially if the vehicle has the rear body removed) will expose electrical components to moisture. Moisture entering electrical components can result in water damage and subsequent component failure.
SUBSEQUENT OWNER REGISTRATION In the event a vehicle is bought as a used vehicle, we strongly urge the new owner to register the vehicle with Club Car. This will enable us to contact you if the need arises. Please send your name, address, and serial number of the vehicle to CLUB CAR, LLC, P.O.
