Towing With The Vehicle; Transporting On A Trailer - Club Car Turf 1 2006 Owner's Manual

TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE

ý
WARNING
• Do not tow a vehicle or trailer on public streets or highways.
• Normal vehicle operating speed should be reduced when towing.
• Extreme caution should be used when towing.
• Total vehicle capacity, including the tow vehicle load rating and the gross weight of the
vehicle or trailer being towed should not exceed the weight previously specified.
• Do not allow riders in the vehicle or trailer being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
Because towing a vehicle or trailer can have an adverse effect on vehicle handling, be especially cautious
when towing with a Turf vehicle. See the preceding chart for vehicle capacities.
Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply the brakes and
have someone chock the tires of the trailer. Brakes should be released to allow the chocks to absorb the load
of the trailer. After the tires have been chocked, engage the park brake.

brake firmly pressed and locked.
