Pre-Operation And Daily Safety Checklist - Club Car Villager 6 Owner's Manual

Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist

For the convenience of the trained technician, there is a neutral lockout switch located on the seat support panel
under the seat (Figure 13). The neutral lockout switch has two positions, MAINTENANCE and OPERATE, which
are clearly marked.
When the switch is in the MAINTENANCE position, it will allow the technician to run the engine in the NEUTRAL
position to perform certain maintenance and/or repair functions. With the switch in this position, the vehicle will not
operate if the Forward/Reverse handle is placed in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position. See following
WARNING and NOTE.
WARNING
• With the switch in the MAINTENANCE position and the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly
if the Forward/Reverse handle is shifted or accidentally bumped. To prevent this, chock the front and
rear wheels and firmly set the park brake before servicing or leaving the vehicle.
NOTE: Be sure to return the switch to the OPERATE position after servicing the vehicle, or it will not run with the
Forward/Reverse handle in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position.
PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST
Each Club Car vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving your new
vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect each vehicle to
ensure that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle. This checklist should be used daily to ensure that
the vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction with the Performance Inspection on page 25 and the
Periodic Service Schedules on page 33. Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a
trained technician.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.
On gasoline vehicles, check all hose clamps for tight fit as well as the starter belt for tightness.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place. See Safety
Decal and Feature Identification on page 4.
• Tires: Visually inspect for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a daily basis. See Vehicle Specifications –
Electric Vehicle on page 52 or Vehicle Specifications – Gasoline Vehicle on page 58.
• Battery(ies): Check electrolyte to ensure that it is at its proper level (Figure 16, Page 41 or Figure 21, Page
46). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion. On electric vehicles, charge batteries
fully before first use of vehicle.
• Charger cord, plug, and receptacle (electric vehicles): Visually inspect for cracks, loose connections, and
frayed wiring. See Plug and Receptacle on page 44.
• Engine (gasoline vehicles): Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil – Gasoline Vehicle on page 46.
• Fuel (gasoline vehicles): Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions – Gasoline Vehicle on page 49. Check
fuel tank, fuel injector, lines, cap, and pump for fuel leakage on a daily basis.
• Performance Inspection: Inspect as instructed. See Performance Inspection on page 25.
WARNING
• Be sure the plastic has been removed from the seat bottom before operating the vehicle. Failure to do
so can result in a fire, property damage, personal injury, or death.
