Pre-Operation Checklist
2001 Transportation Gasoline Vehicle Owner’s Manual 17
PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Your transportation vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory. However, upon receiv-
ing your new transportation vehicle(s) you should become familiar with its controls and operation. Carefully
inspect each vehicle to be satisfied that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery. Use the
following checklist as a guide to inspect your new vehicle. This same checklist should also be used in con-
junction with the Periodic Service Schedule on page 29. Any problems should be corrected by your Club Car
distributor/dealer or a trained technician only. See following WARNING.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tight. Check all hose clamps for tight fit as well as the starter belt for tightness.
• Warning Decals: Check to ensure that all warning and operation decals are in place. See Pages 10
through 16.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. See Tire Capacities, Page 32.
• Battery: Before using vehicle for the first time check electrolyte to ensure it is at the proper level
(Figure 22, Page 34). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and battery
should be fully charged.
• Engine: Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil, Page 32.
• Fuel: Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions, Page 33.
PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving
instructions, take the vehicle for a test drive. Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect your new vehi-
cle. Any problems should be corrected only by your Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
All vehicles
• Brakes: Be sure brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully depressed under moderate pres-
sure, it should
not go more than halfway to the floor, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight
stop. If brake pedal goes more than halfway to the floor or if vehicle swerves or fails to stop, have the
brake system checked and adjusted as required. Brake adjustment must be maintained so that the
brake pedal
cannot be depressed to the floor under any circumstance.
• Park Brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on
incline of 20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed.
• Reverse Buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is
in REVERSE.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator for Pedal-Start Vehicles: As the accelerator pedal is depressed, 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 Transportation vehicles operate at reduced
speed in reverse.
• Accelerator for Key-Start Vehicles: After starting the engine with the key switch and placing the For-
ward/Reverse handle in FORWARD, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accel-
erator pedal is depressed. When the accelerator pedal is released it should return to the original
position and the engine should idle.
• BE SURE THE PLASTIC HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SEAT BOTTOM BEFORE
OPERATING THE VEHICLE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
