MAINTENANCE
See General Warnings on page 10.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive maintenance
program. Regular and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive repairs that can
result from neglect. Use the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 24 and the following Periodic Service
Schedules and Periodic Lubrication Schedules to keep the vehicle in proper working condition.
Any vehicle 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 semiannual and annual periodic service.

repairs are made. Failure to make necessary repairs can result in fire, property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
• Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle or battery charger. 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.
