TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER

WARNING
• Do not allow riders in the trailer being towed.
• 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 can cause the vehicle to overturn,
possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
• For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such as
taillights, brake lights, etc.
• Reduce normal driving speed when transporting a Club Car vehicle on a trailer.
• Do not tow a Club Car vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is on an
approved trailer.
• The vehicle to be transported should be tied securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse handle
or switch in the NEUTRAL position, the key switch in the OFF position, and the park brake engaged
to lock wheels.
• Because of the added length of the trailer, use caution when making turns.
• Do not transport the vehicle on a trailer with a load in the vehicle cargo bed.
• Remove the vehicle windshield and secure the seat bottom before transporting on a trailer.
If the vehicle or vehicles must be transported over long distances or on public highways, they should be transported on
an approved trailer that has an approved load rating in excess of the weight of the vehicles being transported.
STORAGE – ELECTRIC VEHICLES WITH POWERDRIVE 3 BATTERY CHARGERS
See General Warnings on page 10.
WARNING
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch in the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle
or a fire hazard. Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery. Frozen
batteries can explode.
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
• To avoid exposing electrical components to moisture and subsequent damage, do not use any type of
pressure washing or steam cleaning equipment to wash the vehicle.
