Controls - Club Car Gasoline Service Manual

• DS Gasoline Governor: Check the speed of the vehicle. The vehicle should run at 12-15 MPH (19-24
KPH) on a level surface.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle's ride and perfor-
mance. Have a CLUB CAR distributor/dealer or a trained mechanic investigate anything unusual.
DS PowerDrive Plus Vehicles with Regenerative Braking:
• Zero Speed Detect: With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, turn the
ignition key to the ON position and attempt to push the vehicle. It should resist rolling with the forward
and reverse switch in any position.
• "Pedal Up" Motor Braking: Accelerate the vehicle to full speed and then release the accelerator
pedal. The vehicle should quickly and smoothly slow to approximately 9 mph using motor braking.
• "Pedal Down" Motor Braking: Accelerate down an incline with the accelerator pedal depressed.
When the vehicle reaches approximately 15 mph, the regenerative braking should engage and moder-
ate vehicle speed between 15 and 16 mph, depending upon the grade of the hill.

DANGER
• DO NOT OPERATE THE GASOLINE VEHICLE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA WITHOUT PROPER
VENTILATION. GASOLINE ENGINES PRODUCE CARBON MONOXIDE GAS, WHICH IS AN
ODORLESS, DEADLY POISON.
WARNING
• IF RENTING OR LOANING THE VEHICLE, MAKE SURE THE DRIVER IS FAMILIAR WITH ALL
CONTROLS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES BEFORE ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE
DRIVEN.
• DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE GASOLINE VEHICLE GOVERNOR. DOING SO WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY, AS WELL AS DAMAGE THE ENGINE AND OTHER COMPONENTS, AND COULD
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH DUE TO UNSAFE SPEEDS.
• DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE VEHICLE IN ANY WAY THAT MAY AFFECT VEHICLE STA-
BILITY OR INCREASE SPEED BEYOND FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH COULD RESULT.
• DO NOT SHIFT THE FORWARD/REVERSE LEVER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. TO
AVOID INJURY TO AN UNSUSPECTING PASSENGER OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, ALWAYS
BRING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP BEFORE SHIFTING THE LEVER. A BUZZER WILL
SOUND AS A WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE.
• DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRMLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. SET THE PARK
BRAKE, AND TURN THE KEY SWITCH TO OFF. TO AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING OR
ROLLING OF THE VEHICLE, REMOVE THE KEY WHEN LEAVING.
