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 as a guide to inspect your new vehi-
cle. Any problems should be corrected only by your Carryall 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. Tourall
vehicles should stop within 14 feet. Trans-Porter/Trans-Sender and Resort Villager vehicles should stop within
16 feet. 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 sentences), have the brake system checked and
adjusted as required. Brake adjustment must be maintained so that the brake pedal cannot be depressed to
the floor under any circumstances.
• 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 should sound as a warning when vehicle is in reverse.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator for Tourall vehicles: As the accelerator pedal is depressed, the engine 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 engine should stop. Both the electric and gasoline vehicles should run at a
reduced speed when in reverse.
• Accelerator for Trans-Porter/Trans-Sender and Resort Villager vehicles: After starting the engine,
the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accelerator pedal is depressed. When the
accelerator pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should idle.
• Governor: Check maximum speed of the vehicle. All Tourall vehicles should run at 12-15 mph (19-24 kph)
on a level surface. The Trans-Porter/Trans-Sender and Resort Villager gasoline powered vehicles should
run at 14-16 mph (23-26 kph) on a level surface.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Carryall distributor/dealer or a trained mechanic investigate anything unusual.

See DANGER and WARNING on Page 3.
• DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE GOVERNOR. DOING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY, AS WELL
AS DAMAGE THE ENGINE AND OTHER COMPONENTS, AND COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH DUE TO UNSAFE SPEEDS.
• DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE VEHICLE IN ANY WAY WHICH MIGHT AFFECT ITS
STABILITY OR HANDLING, OR INCREASE MAXIMUM VEHICLE SPEED BEYOND FACTORY
SPECIFICATIONS. PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH COULD RESULT.
• DO NOT SHIFT THE FORWARD/REVERSE HANDLE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. TO
AVOID INJURY TO PASSENGER(S) OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, ALWAYS BRING THE
VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP BEFORE SHIFTING THE HANDLE. A BUZZER WILL SOUND AS A
WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE.
• RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THEN DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRMLY
UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPS. TO AVOID UNINTENTIONALLY STARTING OR ROLLING THE
VEHICLE, SET THE PARK BRAKE, TURN THE KEY SWITCH TO OFF, AND REMOVE THE KEY
WHEN LEAVING THE VEHICLE.
