Maintenance - Club Car Carryall 294D Owner's Manual

4. Gasoline vehicles only: Completely open the fuel shut-off valve (Figure 13). Ensure the valve is fully
open. A partially closed fuel shut-off valve combined with the use of the choke can result in a fouled spark
plug and engine failure (Figure 14).
5. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Crank the engine until fuel is pumped into
the carburetor (gasoline vehicles) and the fuel lines and the engine starts. Turn the engine off. See fol-
lowing NOTE.
NOTE: Due to the oil added to the gasoline engine in preparation for storage, the engine may smoke
excessively for a short time when it is run for the first time after storage.
6. Perform the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 23.

MAINTENANCE

See General Warnings on page 14.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, follow an established preventive maintenance program. Regular
and consistent maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive repairs. Use the Pre-Operation
and Daily Safety Checklist on page 23 and the following Periodic Service Schedule and Periodic Lubrication
Schedule to keep the vehicle in proper working condition.
Any vehicle not functioning correctly should not be used until it is properly repaired. This will prevent further
damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to unsafe conditions.
