WARNING
• BE SURE THE PLASTIC HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SEAT BOTTOM BEFORE
OPERATING THE VEHICLE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A FIRE, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle's 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 your new vehi-
cle. Any problems should be corrected only by a 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
within the appropriate braking distance for your vehicle (see preceding sentence), have the brake sys-
tem 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 the Forward/Reverse handle is in
REVERSE.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator: With the key switch ON and the Forward/Reverse handle in the FORWARD position; 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. All Club Car vehicles should run at reduced speed 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.
