• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle or switch 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 ride and performance. Have

a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.

Electric Vehicles

• Accelerator: With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse switch in the FORWARD position, as

the accelerator pedal is pressed, the motor should start and the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed.

Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse. When the pedal is released, it should return to the original

position and the motor should rotate freely or go into motor braking mode. See Pedal Up Motor Braking below.

• Walk-Away Braking: With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, place the Tow/Run

switch in the RUN position and attempt to push the vehicle. Motor braking should engage and cause resistance to

rolling (moving at no more than 1 to 3 mph) (1.5 to 4.8 km/h) with the Forward/Reverse switch in any position.

When walk-away braking is engaged, the reverse buzzer should emit a distinct pattern of beeps. See following

WARNING.

WARNING

• Walk-away braking will not limit vehicle speed to 1 mph (1.6 km/h) on very steep grades. Do not

operate vehicle on slopes exceeding 20% grades.

• Pedal Up Motor Braking: Accelerate the vehicle to full speed and then release the accelerator pedal. Motor

braking should quickly and smoothly slow the vehicle. Motor braking will disengage when vehicle slows to 11 mph

(17.7 km/h) for IQ System vehicles and at the programmed speed for IQ Plus vehicles. This feature is selectable

for IQ System vehicles and programmable for IQ Plus vehicles. Contact your local Club Car dealer/distributor

to inquire about this adjustable feature.

• Pedal Down Motor Braking: Accelerate down an incline with the accelerator pedal pressed. When the vehicle

reaches maximum programmed speed, motor braking should engage and limit the vehicle to its maximum

programmed speed. On very steep grades, the vehicle may slightly exceed its maximum programmed speed,

requiring use of the brake pedal.

Gasoline Vehicles

• Accelerator for pedal-start vehicle: With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse handle in the

FORWARD 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 and the engine should

stop. Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.

• Accelerator for key-start vehicle: After starting the engine with the key switch and placing the Forward/Reverse

handle in the FORWARD position, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accelerator pedal is

pressed. When the accelerator pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should idle.

• Governor: Check maximum speed of the vehicle. The Turf 1 and Carryall 1 should operate at 12-15 mph (19-24

km/h) on a level surface. The Turf 2, Turf 6, Carryall 2 and Carryall 6 vehicles should operate at 14-16 mph (23-26

km/h) on a level surface. The Carryall 2 Plus should operate at 17-18 mph (27-29 km/h) on a level surface.
