Driving Instructions - Club Car XRT 1500 2005 Owner's Manual

PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving
instructions, take the vehicle for a test drive.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any prob-
lems should be corrected by a Club Car dealer/distributor or a trained technician.
• Forward/Reverse shifter: Check for proper operation. See Controls and Indicators on page 12.
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pres-
sure, the vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, have
the brake system checked and adjusted as required. When brake pedal is fully pressed under heavy
pressure, pedal should feel firm and the back of the pedal should be a minimum of 1.25 inches (3.2 cm)
from floorboard. Brake adjustment must be maintained so the brake pedal cannot be pressed to the
floorboard under any circumstance.
• Park brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on
an incline of 20% or less).
• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is
in the REVERSE position.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel. Be
sure the steering wheel adjustment lever is locked into position.
• Accelerator: After starting the engine with the key switch and placing the Forward/Reverse handle in
the FORWARD position, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accelerator pedal
is pressed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should
idle. Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Governor: Check maximum vehicle speed. It should operate in forward at 25 mph (40 km/h) on a level
surface.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle's ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Club Car dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
