Your gasoline powered Onward is designed and built to deliver years of trouble-free service and fun. To keep your vehicle in good working condition and preserve its life, it is important to practice regular preventive maintenance.To protect your investment, we recommend performing the following tasks once a month.
- Keep the battery clean and free of corrosion by washing the tops and terminals monthly. Use a solution of one cup baking soda per one gallon of water. Do not allow the solution to enter the batteries and thoroughly rinse the solution off the batteries by simply placing your thumb over the end of a water hose. Do not use a pressure washer for washing your battery as it could cause damage. Let the terminals dry and coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray, which is available from your local Authorized Club Car Dealer. Use battery corrosion preventative spray once a month to prevent corrosion.
- Check the torque on the battery nuts and adjust according to your owner’s manual. Club Car suggests periodic checks to ensure the battery nuts are torqued to 110” lbs. Poor battery cable contact due to improper torque can create high resistance connections that will increase amperage and reduce run time. To check to see if the battery nuts are in immediate need of being torque, firmly move the battery cable from side to side. If the terminal ends move under the battery nut, it is necessary to have the battery nut torqued immediately.
If you have questions regarding monthly maintenance issues, please see your owner's manual or contact your local Authorized Club Car Dealer.
