l Ventilation. Properly ventilate allmaintenance and storage areas inaccordance with applicable firecodes and ordinances to avoid firehazards. Ventilation is required toremove flammable vapors andfumes from gasoline powered carstorage areas. Ventilation is alsorequired to remove hydrogen gasfrom the car storage areas duringthe battery charging process.

For electric powered golf cars, theamount of hydrogen gas emittedduring charging depends on anumber of factors, such as thecondition of the batteries, the outputrate of the battery charger, and theamount of time the batteries are oncharge. Because of the highlyvolatile nature of hydrogen gas andits propensity to rise and accumulateat the ceiling in pockets, a minimumof 5 air changes per hour isrecommended. Consult applicablefire and safety codes for the specificventilation levels requirement, aswell as requirements for the use ofexplosion proof electrical apparatus.

Battery electrolyte is poisonousand dangerous, causing severeburns, etc. It contains sulfuric acid.Avoid contact with skin, eyes, orclothing.Antidote:EXTERNAL: Flush with water. INTERNAL: Drink large quantities ofwater or milk. Follow with milk ofmagnesia, beaten egg, or vegetableoil. Call physician immediately.EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.Batteries produce explosive gases.Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc.,away.Ventilate when charging or using inenclosed space. Always shield eyeswhen working near batteries.KEEP OUT OF REACH OFCHILDREN.

Six 8-volt deep cycle batteriesprovide power for your electric golfcar and must be properly maintainedand recharged for maximumperformance and service life.

To maintain your batteries:

1. Clean the tops of the batterieswith a solution of baking sodaand water, as necessary, toremove corrosion.

Do not allow cleaning solution toenter battery cells. Serious batterydamage can result.

2. Check the fluid level before andafter charging.
