Because towing another Club Car vehicle or trailer can have adverse effects on vehicle handling, be espe-
cially cautious when towing with a Club Car Turf utility vehicle. Total vehicle capacity, including the tow vehicle
load rating and the gross weight of the vehicle with a trailer being towed should not exceed 800 lb. (363 kg)
for the Turf 1, 1200 lb. (544 kg) for the Turf 2 and 1500 lb. (680 kg) for the Turf 6. Never exceed a trailer
tongue weight of 150 lb. (68 kg) for any Club Car Turf utility vehicle.
Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply the brakes and
have someone chock the tires of the trailer. Brakes should be released to allow the chocks to absorb the load
of the trailer. After the tires have been chocked, engage the park brake.

TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER

Always use an approved trailer that has a load rating of at least 1600 lb. (727 kg) (Turf 1 and Turf 2) (or 2000
lb. (909 kg) for Turf 6) per vehicle to be towed. For example: a two-vehicle vehicle should be rated at 2 x 1600
= 3200 lb. (2 x 727 = 1454 kg).
If the vehicle must be transported over long distances or on public highways, it should be transported on an
approved trailer observing all the following warning procedures:
WARNING
• TURN FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE TO CLOSED (OFF) (FIGURE 17, PAGE 26).

• AVOID SUDDEN STARTS, SUDDEN STOPS, AND TIGHT TURNS WHEN TOWING.
• AVOID STOPPING ON A HILL WHEN TOWING. IF YOU MUST STOP ON A HILL, AVOID SUDDEN
