Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist
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 controls and have read and understood the driving instructions,
take the vehicle for a test drive.
Use the following checklist in conjunction with the Daily Pre-Operation and Safety Checklist as a guide to inspect the
vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a
trained technician.
All Vehicles
• Forward/Reverse switch: Check for proper operation.
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is pressed using moderate pressure, the
vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, stops abruptly, or makes
a grinding or squeaking noise, have the brake system checked and adjusted as required. Continued, moderate
brake pedal pressure should be able to lock the wheels, but using lesser pressure should also permit a slow,
gradual deceleration.
• Park brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on an incline of
20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is pressed.
• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle or switch is in
the REVERSE position.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle's ride and performance.
Have a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
Electric Vehicles
• Accelerator: With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse switch in the FORWARD position, as
the accelerator pedal is pressed, 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. All Club Car vehicles operate at reduced
speed in reverse.
• Walk Away Braking: With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, place the Tow/Run
switch in the RUN position and attempt to push the vehicle. Motor braking should engage and cause resistance to
rolling ((moving at no more than 1 to 3 mph) (1.6 to 4.8 km/h)) with the Forward/Reverse switch in any position.
When walk away motor braking is engaged, the reverse buzzer should emit a distinct pattern of beeps. See
following WARNING.
WARNING
• Walk Away Braking will not limit vehicle speed to 3 mph (4.8 km/h) on very steep grades. Do not
operate vehicle on slopes exceeding 20% grades.
• Motor Braking: Accelerate down an incline with the accelerator pedal fully pressed. When the vehicle reaches
maximum programmed speed, motor braking should engage and limit the vehicle to its maximum programmed
speed. On very steep grades, the vehicle may slightly exceed its maximum programmed speed, requiring the use of
the brake pedal. Also, travel downhill with the accelerator pedal partially pressed. Motor braking should limit speed
to less than top speed and maintain speeds proportional to the accelerator pedal position. On a level surface,
accelerate the vehicle to full speed and then release the accelerator pedal. Motor braking should smoothly slow the
vehicle to a complete stop or else allow the vehicle to coast freely, depending on the selected controller setting.
