Engine Oil - Gasoline Vehicle - Club Car Turf 1/Carryall 1 Owner's Manual

Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (–) terminals should be washed off with a solution of baking soda and
water (1 cup (237 mL) per gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off the battery. Do not allow this solution to get into
the battery. Be sure terminals are tight (battery terminals should be tightened to 144 in-lb (16 N·m)). Let the terminals
dry and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI 1014305). See following CAUTION.
WARNING
• If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, replace or clean them as necessary. Failure to do
so may cause them to overheat during operation and could result in a fire, property damage, or
personal injury.
Be sure battery clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 144 in-Ib (16 N·m). A loose clamp may allow the battery to
become damaged from vibration or jarring.
If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged any
longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).
ENGINE OIL – GASOLINE VEHICLE
Even though the low oil warning light on the dash should illuminate if oil level becomes low, engine oil level should be
checked monthly. Vehicle should be on a level surface when checking oil. Do not overfill with oil.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
1. Remove the oil level dipstick from the oil filler tube, and wipe oil off dipstick (Figure 29). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not remove dipstick while engine is running.
2. Check oil by fully inserting the dipstick into the oil filler tube and immediately removing it.
3. If the oil level is at or below the low level mark on the dipstick gauge, add oil until the level is between low
and full levels (safe level).
4. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler tube. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Properly recycle or dispose of used oil in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
