Loading And Unloading - Club Car XRT 850 Owner's Manual

Loading and Unloading

CAUTION
• When stopped on a hill, use the brake pedal to hold your position. Do not use the accelerator pedal
to hold position.
To stop vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal until vehicle comes to a complete stop.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1. After coming to a complete stop, engage the park brake until it locks the wheels and prevents the vehicle from
rolling.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and place the Forward/Reverse handle or switch in the NEUTRAL
position. Remove the key when the vehicle is not in use.
Electric vehicles only: When the Tow/Run switch is in the RUN position (with the Forward/Reverse switch or key
switch in any position), the walk-away braking function will prevent the vehicle from rolling at more than 1 to 3 mph (1.6
to 4.8 km/h) unless the accelerator is pressed. This prevents the possibility of a parked vehicle (with the park brake
disengaged) rolling away too fast to be overtaken on foot.
LOADING AND UNLOADING
WARNING
• Engage park brake to lock wheels before loading the vehicle.
• Do not allow riders in the cargo bed.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of the vehicle. Rated capacity is for level surfaces only.
• Overloading can affect vehicle handling or cause component failure, resulting in loss of control
of vehicle and possible severe personal injury.
• Reduce vehicle load and speed when driving up or down slopes or on uneven terrain.
• Reduce speed and avoid sudden stops when backing up. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle
to overturn or flip over backwards.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when loaded. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning may cause vehicle to overturn,
possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
• To help avoid shifting the vehicle load and possibly overturning the vehicle, avoid sudden starts,
sudden stops, and abrupt turns.
• The cargo's center of gravity may affect the handling, steering, and braking of the vehicle. Avoid top
heavy loads. When the vehicle is loaded, reduce speed and drive slowly in turns.
• To help prevent cargo from shifting and possibly injuring a passenger or affecting the vehicle's
handling, make sure cargo is well secured.
• Unload cargo bed before raising vehicle with a lift, hoist, or jack.
• Cargo load includes the weight of optional equipment.
Center and secure cargo as far forward as possible in the cargo bed. Do not overload the vehicle. See the following
chart for vehicle capacities.
