Practice Safety WARNING Rotating Parts Safety signs like you see above may at first seem shocking, but their impact is mild compared with the reality of severe personal injury. Your safety and satisfaction are of the utmost importance to Club Car. That is why before operating the vehicle, we urge you to review the information in this manual.
Safety Details SAFETY DETAILS ý 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. It is important to note that some vital statements throughout this manual and on the decals affixed to the vehi- cle are preceded by the words DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
General Warnings GENERAL WARNINGS The following safety statements must be heeded whenever the vehicle is being operated, repaired, or ser- viced. Vehicle feature identification information is also included beginning on page 4. Other specific safety statements appear throughout this manual and on the vehicle. ý...
General Information ý WARNING • Frame ground – Do not allow tools or other metal objects to contact frame when disconnecting battery cables or other electrical wiring. Do not allow a positive wire to touch the vehicle frame, engine, or any other metal component. •...
Controls and Indicators CONTROLS AND INDICATORS See General Warnings on page 10. ý WARNING • Before allowing anyone to drive the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and operating procedures. • 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.
Controls and Indicators CAUT ION • Do not “rev” the engine for long periods of time while the Forward/Reverse handle is in the NEUTRAL position. Failure to heed this caution could result in damage to the unitized transaxle. • Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the accelerator pedal is pressed. Shift the handle only when the vehicle is at a complete stop.
Controls and Indicators BRAKE PEDAL The brake pedal is the large pedal on the left with the word STOP molded into it (Figure 5). To slow or stop the vehicle, press the brake pedal (Figure 6). Figure 5 Accelerator and Brake Pedal Figure 6 Brake Pedal PARK BRAKE The park brake handle is located between the driver and passenger seats.
Controls and Indicators DIFFERENTIAL LOCK ý WARNING • With the differential lock engaged, vehicle turning functions are greatly reduced. 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 HEADLIGHT CONTROL The headlight control is located on the instrument panel between the fuel gauge/hour meter and steering col- umn. Pull the headlight control knob out to turn the headlights on and push the knob in to turn the headlights off.
Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist • Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place. See pages 4 through 7. • Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a daily basis.
Driving Instructions DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS ý WARNING • Only licensed drivers should be allowed to drive this vehicle. • Before allowing anyone to drive the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and operating procedures. • No one under the age of 16 years should be allowed to drive the vehicle. •...
Driving Instructions STARTING THE VEHICLE 1. Read safety warnings on dash and vehicle loading information located above pedals. 2. Be sure load, if any, is secure. 3. Study and understand controls. 4. Be sure all passengers are seated and holding on to hand holds. Driver should have both hands on the steering wheel.
Bed Latch and Prop Rod PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE 1. After stopping the vehicle, set hand brake until it locks. Make sure it is fully engaged. This will prevent the vehicle from rolling. 2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Remove the key and turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position when the vehicle is not in use (Figure 14, Page 24).
Front Shock Absorbers NOTE: The XRT 1200 vehicle is equipped with an automatically engaging prop rod (Figure 11), unless equipped with the electric bed lift accessory. Figure 12 XRT 1200SE Bed Latch Figure 13 XRT 1200SE Raised Bed FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS The vehicle arrives from the factory with the front coil-over shocks pre-adjusted for optimum vehicle perfor- mance.
Towing with the Vehicle Center and secure cargo as far forward as possible in the cargo bed. Do not overload the vehicle. See the fol- lowing chart for vehicle capacities. XRT 1200 XRT 1200SE Maximum payload capacity 800 lb. (363 kg) 500 lb.
Storage ý WARNING • 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.
Storage PREPARING THE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE 1. Unload the vehicle so that tires are supporting only the weight of the vehicle. 2. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge. If the battery appears to be weak, have it charged by a trained technician.
Storage 8. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat- teries.
Maintenance 6. Completely open the fuel shut-off valve (Figure 15). Make sure 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 16).
Periodic Service Schedule ý WARNING • Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle. Anyone doing even simple repairs or service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair. The appropriate instructions must be used when performing maintenance, service, or accessory installation.
Periodic Service Schedule PERIODIC SERVICE SCHEDULE REGULAR INTERVAL SERVICE Monthly service by owner Check engine oil level; change if or trained technician necessary.
