Caring for the Battery
•Before charging the battery, observe its external appearance and keep it clean and dry. Never charge or use a battery that shows cracks, changes shape, leaks, or otherwise is obviously damaged.
•Recharge a battery before it is fully discharged. Do not allow the battery to run down completely before charging. Leaving the battery discharged damages the battery. Charge the battery at least once per month, even if your Cart has not been used.
•If the battery begins to leak, avoid contact with the leaking acid. Place the damaged battery in a plastic bag, then dispose of it properly.
IF BATTERY ACID DOES CONTACT YOUR SKIN OR EYES, FLUSH WITH COOL WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES AND CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF ACID IS INGESTED, CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
