Transporting On A Trailer - Club Car Villager 6 Owner's Manual

Transporting on a Trailer

STOPPING THE VEHICLE
WARNING
• Driving through water can affect the brakes. After driving through water, check effectiveness of the
brakes by gently pressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle does not slow down at the normal rate,
continue to press the brake pedal until the brakes dry out and normal performance returns.
• After stopping the vehicle, firmly set the park brake until it is fully engaged and prevents the vehicle
from rolling.
CAUTION
• When stopped on a hill, use the brake pedal to hold your position. Do not use the accelerator pedal
to hold position.
To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1. After coming to a complete stop, engage the park brake until it locks the wheels and prevents the vehicle from
rolling.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and place the Forward/Reverse handle or switch in the NEUTRAL
position. Remove the key when the vehicle is not in use.
Electric vehicles only: When the Tow/Run switch is in the RUN position (with the Forward/Reverse switch or key
switch in any position), the walk-away braking function will prevent the vehicle from rolling at more than 1 to 3 mph (1.6
to 4.8 km/h) unless the accelerator is pressed. This prevents the possibility of a parked vehicle (with the park brake
disengaged) rolling away too fast to be overtaken on foot.
TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER
WARNING
• A ramp must be used to load and unload the vehicle. The vehicle should be driven onto and off
of an approved trailer.
• 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.
• Reduce normal driving speed when towing a Club Car vehicle on a trailer.
• For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such as
taillights, brake lights, etc.
• Do not tow a Club Car vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is on an
approved trailer.
