This method requires less than full voltage applied briefly to the motor while it is installed in the cart and the rear wheels are off the floor or ground. Use 12-18 volts. You will find this voltage using your test meter between the main - post on battery 6 and the positive terminal on battery 3 or 4 depending upon 6 or 8v batteries used.

NOTE - when the voltage is applied to the motor as shown there will be a spark at the final connection and the motor should lurch to life... hence the lower voltage recommended. Do not let the motor run for more than a few seconds. Because there will be a spark it is recommended to utilize a switch like a common battery disconnect to make the final connection. Simply touching the final connection to the motor or battery will result in a damaged motor or battery terminal.
