MAINTENANCE

Read DANGER and WARNING on page 3.
GENERAL INFORMATION
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive mainte-
nance program (regularly scheduled service, even though the vehicle is functional). Regular and consistent
vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle down-time and expensive repairs that result from neglect. Any vehi-
cle 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 semi-annual and annual periodic service.
See following WARNING.
