Pre-Operation And Daily Safety Checklist; Performance Inspection - Club Car DS Villager 4 2006 Owner's Manual

FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER
Gasoline Vehicles Only
The gasoline-powered Club Car vehicle is equipped with a fuel gauge/hour meter (2), located on the dash
panel (Figure 21). The fuel gauge allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle. The hour meter
should be used by a trained technician to track vehicle usage and to help determine when periodic service is
required. See Periodic Service Schedules on page 43.

PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST

Each Club Car vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving
your new vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect
each vehicle to ensure that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle. This checklist should be used daily to ensure that
the vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction with the Periodic Service Schedule on page 44.
Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tight. On gasoline vehicles, check all hose clamps for tight fit as well as the starter belt for tightness.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place.
See pages 4 through 17.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a daily
basis. See Vehicle Specifications – Electric Vehicles on page 59.
• Battery(ies): Check electrolyte to ensure that it is at its proper level (Figure 27, Page 49 or Figure 32,
Page 55). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion. On electric vehicles,
charge batteries fully before first use of vehicle.
• Charger cord, plug, and receptacle (electric vehicles): Visually inspect for cracks, loose connec-
tions, and frayed wiring. See Plug and Receptacle on page 53.
• Engine (gasoline vehicles): Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil – Gasoline Vehicles
on page 55.
• Fuel (gasoline vehicles): Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions – Gasoline Vehicles on
page 56. Check fuel tank, lines, cap, pump, fuel filters, and carburetor for fuel leakage on a daily basis.
• Exhaust system (gasoline vehicles): Check for leaks.
