Page: 3 / 164

USING THIS SUPPLEMENT
The following pages are supplemental to the 1995-1996 DS Golf Car Maintenance and Service Manual (Club
Car Part No. 1019051-01). This supplement documents only those sections of the manual requiring changes
or additions describing features and procedures specific to
1997 DS Golf Cars. All other information in the
1995-1996 Maintenance and Service Manual pertaining to DS Golf Cars (unless noted as specific to another
particular vehicle) applies to 1997 DS Golf Cars as well.
Sections 2, 4, 6, 9 (for gasoline vehicles only),
11, 12, 17, and 18 in the maintenance and service manual have been entirely superseded by sections
in this supplement.
This supplement also includes updates to information in Sections 3, 13, 14, and
16. All other sections in the maintenance and service manual are unchanged. With the exception of sec-
tions 9, 10, 25, and 26, the placement of sections in this supplement corresponds to the placement of sec-
tions in the maintenance and service manual. References in this supplement refer to information elsewhere
within the supplement unless they state specifically that they refer to the 1995-1996 Maintenance and Ser-
vice Manual or other publication; for example,
(See Figure 12-50, Page 12-37 in the Maintenance and Ser-
vice Manual) .
If you do not have a 1995-1996 DS Golf Car Maintenance and Service Manual, you may obtain one from
your Club Car dealer or distributor. This supplement and the manual should be thoroughly studied prior to
servicing the vehicle. The procedures provided must be properly implemented, and the NOTES, CAUTIONS,
WARNINGS, and DANGER statements must be heeded. This supplement and the manual were written for
the vehicle mechanic who already possesses basic knowledge and skills in electrical and mechanical repair.
If the mechanic does not have such basic knowledge and skills, attempted service or repairs to the vehicle
may render it unsafe.
For this reason, we advise that all repairs and/or service be performed by an autho-
rized Club Car distributor/dealer representative or by a Club Car factory trained mechanic.
This supplement, in conjunction with the maintenance and service manual, covers all aspects of DS Golf Car
service. However, unique situations do sometimes arise when servicing golf cars. If it appears that a service
question is not answered in this supplement or in the manual, you may write to us or contact a Club Car tech-
nical service representative by phone at (706) 863-3000, ext. 580.
