Default To bypass or not to bypass the OBC

I just got the Summit 2 charging and will be using it as an onboard charger. In the instructions it saying to just connect to the negative and positive of the battery pack and you are good to go. So now the question, do you still need to by-pass the OBC on a Series Club Car DS for this to work correctly with no lockouts?
Thanks

Yes you do. The OBC provides the negative for the solenoid for charging lockout. You should have a 3 pin triangular plug at the OBC. If so you need to jump the yellow wire at the OBC harness to the B- terminal at the controller or pack negative.

So disconnect the yellow wire from the solenoid and run it to B- or some other ground source.

Disconnect it from the OBC end. Leave it connected at the solenoid, connect the OBC end to negative.
Depending what you did with the Black charge lead from the OBC you can just connect it to that because that goes to controller B-.

Sorry I seem to be struggling with this. Does the solenoid get connect to ground or the OBC? Which one is disconnected when done?

You are grounding the solenoid...Leave the yellow wire connected to the solenoid...Follow it back to the obc and cut it close to the obc...Crimp on a 5/16" round connector and attach it to pack negative or B- terminal at the controller...

I'm about to buy a summit 2 also, why is this OBC bypass required? What happens if we don't do it?
