Safety Details SAFETY DETAILS WARNING • This owner’s manual should be read completely before attempting to drive or service the vehicle. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Controls and Indicators • Pedal-start vehicle: The engine will not run when the handle is in the NEUTRAL position. • Key-start vehicle: The engine will idle and rev while in the NEUTRAL position. See preceding WARNING and CAUTION. Club Car vehicles operate at a reduced speed in reverse. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is in the REVERSE position.
Lockout Cam • Pedal-start vehicle: When the key switch is in the ON position, and the Forward/Reverse handle or switch is in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position, pressing the accelerator pedal will automatically release the park brake and start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (forward or reverse).

To prevent loss of vehicle control when differential lock is engaged, do not operate vehicle at speeds greater than half throttle and use caution when attempting to turn the vehicle.
Seat Latch and Adjustment Figure 13 Low Oil Warning Light FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER A fuel gauge and hour meter are housed together at the lower left corner of the instrument panel. The fuel gauge operates when the key switch is in the ON position, and allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle. The hour meter operates only when the engine is running, and should be used only by trained technicians to track vehicle usage and determine when periodic service procedures are required.
Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist The bucket seats on all vehicles are adjustable and can be moved forward or backward to accommodate the driver or passenger. To adjust a seat: Remove the seat from the vehicle. Remove the four bolts and washers from the bottom of the seat mounting plate. Align the mounting plate holes with holes in the seat to achieve the desired seat position.
Driving Instructions Use the following checklist, in conjunction with the Pre-Operation and Daily 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.
