approved trailer. Observe all the following WARNINGS:
STORAGE - GASOLINE VEHICLE
To prepare your vehicle for extended off season storage:
1. Store the vehicle in a cool place. This will prevent self-discharge of the battery. If the battery appears
to be weak, have it charged using an automotive type 12 volt battery charger rated 10 amps or less.
• NEVER TOW THE VEHICLE ON PUBLIC STREETS OR HIGHWAYS.
• USE ONLY APPROVED CLUB CAR TOW BARS.
• TURN THE KEY SWITCH TO OFF AND PLACE THE FORWARD/REVERSE SHIFT LEVER IN THE
NEUTRAL POSITION BEFORE TOWING THE VEHICLE.

• DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE(S) BEING TOWED.
• AVOID SUDDEN STARTS, SUDDEN STOPS, AND TIGHT TURNS WHEN TOWING.

APPROVED TRAILER.
• THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE SECURELY TIED DOWN TO THE TRAILER, WITH THE FORWARD
AND REVERSE SHIFT LEVER IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION, THE KEY SWITCH OFF, AND THE
