Safety signs like you see above may at first seem shocking, but their impact is mild compared with the reality of severe personal injury. Your safety and satisfaction are of the utmost importance to Club Car. That is why before operating the vehicle, we urge you to review the information in this manual.
If any of the operation or safety decals on the vehicle become damaged, have been removed, or cannot be easily read, they should be replaced immediately to avoid possible property damage, personal injury, or death. Contact your Club Car dealer. ∆...
• A Club Car vehicle will not provide protection from lightning, flying objects, or other storm- related hazards. If caught in a storm while driving a Club Car vehicle, exit the vehicle and seek shelter in accordance with applicable safety guidelines for your location.
If any of these differ between vehicles, it will be noted for that specific procedure. MODEL IDENTIFICATION The serial number of your Club Car vehicle is printed on a bar code decal mounted on the frame directly above the accelerator pedal (Example: QG0501-583947) (Figure 2) . There is also a second serial number decal mounted on the front body frame behind the instrument panel.
Controls and Indicators CONTROLS AND INDICATORS See General Warnings on page 10. ∆ WARNING • Before allowing anyone to drive the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and operating procedures. • Do not tamper with the governor.
