PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

PERFORMANCE INSPECTION

Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any prob-
lems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
• Forward/Reverse shifter: Check for proper operation. See Controls and Indicators in the vehicle
owner's manual.
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is pressed using moderate pressure
the vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, stops
abruptly, or makes a grinding or squeaking noise, have the brake system checked and adjusted as
required. Continued, moderate brake pedal pressure should be able to lock the wheels, but using
lesser pressure should also permit a slow, gradual deceleration.
• Park brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on an
incline of 20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is pressed.
• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is
in the REVERSE position.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• 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 technician investigate anything unusual.
• Accelerator: With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse handle in the FOR-
WARD position, as the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine should start and the vehicle should
accelerate smoothly to full speed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position.
All Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Governor: Check maximum speed of the vehicle. The vehicle should operate at 12-15 mph (19-24 km/h) on
a level surface.

WARNING
• Service, repairs, and adjustments must be made per instructions in this maintenance and
service manual.
NOTE: If the vehicle is constantly subjected to heavy use or severe operating conditions, the preventive main-
tenance procedures should be performed more often than recommended in the periodic service and
lubrication schedules.
Both the Periodic Service Schedule and the Periodic Lubrication Schedule must be followed to
keep the vehicle in optimum operating condition.
