PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• Governor: Check maximum speed of the vehicle. The vehicle should operate at 12 to 15 mph (19 to 24 km/h)
on a level surface.

MAINTENANCE

See General Warnings on page 1-2.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive maintenance
program. Regular and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive repairs that can
result from neglect. Use the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist beginning on page 10-2, the Performance
Inspection, and the following Periodic Service Schedules and Periodic Lubrication Schedules to keep the vehicle in
proper working condition.
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 Club Car distributor/dealer to perform all repairs and semiannual and annual periodic service.
