SECTION 10 — PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

GENERAL INFORMATION

Periodic Maintenance
See General Warnings on page 1-1.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive maintenance
program (regularly scheduled service). Regular and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle down-time
and expensive repairs that result from neglect. Any vehicle not functioning correctly should be removed from use
until it is properly repaired. This will prevent further damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to
unsafe conditions.
Contact your local authorized distributor/dealer to perform all repairs and semiannual and annual periodic service.

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 Performance Inspection on page 10-2 and the
Periodic Service Schedule on page 10-3. Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a
trained technician.
Do not operate the vehicle until the upper cabinet, canopy, and windshield have been installed.
• Safety Video: Have all operators view the safety video that was provided with the vehicle and understand the
safety warnings it illustrates before operating the vehicle.
• 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.
• Windshield: Ensure that the windshield is installed before driving the vehicle.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure upon delivery and on a daily basis when the vehicle is in service. See
Vehicle Specifications on page 2-1.
• Loading: Before driving the vehicle, ensure that the load weight is evenly distributed in the Cafe Express
refreshment center.
• Battery (gasoline vehicles): Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and battery should
be fully charged.
• Engine: Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil – Gasoline Vehicle on page 13-2. Inspect air intake
for blockage.
• Fuel: Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions – Gasoline Vehicle on page 14-24. Check fuel tank, fuel
injector, lines, cap, and pump for fuel leakage on a daily basis.
• Performance Inspection: Inspect as instructed. See Performance Inspection on page 10-2.
