Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist

CHOKE
Gasoline Vehicles Only
The choke is located on the seat support panel below and to the left of the driver's left knee (Figure 13). If the
vehicle is hard to start in cool or cold temperatures, simply push in the choke cover to activate it. Hold it during
start up and release the choke cover after the engine starts and runs smoothly.

LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT
Gasoline Vehicles Only
The gasoline golf car is equipped with a low oil warning light, located on the dash panel just above the steer-
ing column (Figure 14). If the warning light comes on, oil should be checked and added to the engine as nec-
essary before continuing to use the vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven with the low oil warning light
remaining on. If the warning light goes on and off, you may proceed, but oil should be added at the first oppor-
tunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning light stays on, have a trained technician check the vehicle. See
following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent
engine damage.
PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST
Each Club Car vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving
your new vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect
each vehicle to ensure that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle. This checklist should be used daily to ensure that
the vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction with the Periodic Service Schedules on page 28.
Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tight. On gasoline vehicles check all hose clamps for tight fit as well as the starter belt for tightness.
