Preparing for long-term storage is a must for your course’s golf cars. Below you’ll find a program checklist for storing Club Cars. For more information on overall golf car maintenance, consult the owner’s manual.

Golf Car Storage Facility
Recomendations and Requirements

General Information

Store cars a minimum of six inches away from any wall and with 12 inches between cars. Install wheel bumpers on floors to reduce the possibility of damage to cars and building walls. Aisles should be a minimum of ten feet wide for easy entry and exit and for passing. Aisles may be slightly less, but this will increase the risk of damage to cars. Car spaces should be a minimum of five feet wide and eight feet long. Smaller spaces will increase the risk of damage to cars. Number all chargers and parking spaces so cars can be returned to the correct spaces. This will enable proper fleet rotation.

Electric Vehicles

General Requirements
In a 120-volt, 60 Hz application, each charger should have its own dedicated 15 or 20 ampere separately protected (circuit breaker or fuse) single phase (#12 Cu) branch circuit. These circuits will be supported by their own neutral that runs back to the circuit panel. If you find it necessary to utilize both sides of the duplex receptacle, you must maintain an individual circuit for each charger (2 circuit breakers for one duplex receptacle) and the neutral must be oversized (#10 Cu). If Club Car chargers are not used, a consultation with the charger manufacturer for electrical specifications is required. All electrical wiring must be installed in accordance with the electrical codes for your area. Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines to help protect electrical/electronic components in the charger and on the car from all but direct and very close lightning strikes. Shelf-mounted chargers should be approximately five feet off the floor and aisle (roof-suspended) chargers should be no less than six feet off the floor. Shelves should be a minimum of 12 inches deep and 14 inches wide for each charger, and capable of supporting approximately 35 pounds or more. DO NOT hang charger upside down, and ensure the charger ventilation slots are unobstructed and proper ventilation is available.
