WARNING
• BE SURE THE PLASTIC HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SEAT BOTTOM BEFORE
OPERATING THE VEHICLE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving instruc-
tions, take the vehicle for a test drive. Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect your new vehicle. Any
problems should be corrected only by your Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
All vehicles
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully depressed under moderate
pressure, it should not go more than halfway to the floor, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight
stop. If the brake pedal goes more than halfway to the floor or if the vehicle swerves or fails to stop,
have the brake system checked and adjusted as required. Brake adjustment must be maintained so
that the brake pedal cannot be depressed to the floor under any circumstance.
• Park Brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on
incline of 20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed.
• Reverse Buzzer: The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when vehicle is in REVERSE.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator: As the accelerator pedal is depressed, the motor should start and the vehicle should
accelerate smoothly to full speed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position
and the motor should stop. The vehicle will run at a reduced speed when in REVERSE.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
