LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT
Gasoline Vehicles Only
The gasoline golf car is equipped with a low oil warning light, located on the dash panel just above the steer-
ing column (Figure 16). If the warning light comes on, oil should be checked and added to the engine as nec-
essary before continuing to use the vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven with the low oil warning light
remaining on. If the warning light goes on and off, you may proceed, but oil should be added at the first oppor-
tunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning light stays on, have a trained technician check the vehicle. See
following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent
engine damage.
PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST
Each Club Car vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving
your new vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect
each vehicle to ensure that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle. This checklist should be used daily to ensure that
the vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction with the Periodic Service Schedules on page 30.
Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tight. On gasoline vehicles check all hose clamps for tight fit as well as the starter belt for tightness.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place.
See pages 6 through 9.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure on your new vehicle. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and
proper inflation on a daily basis. See Vehicle Specifications on page 45.
• Battery(ies): Check electrolyte to ensure that it is at its proper level (Figure 22, Page 36 or Figure 28,
Page 41). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion. On electric vehicles charge
batteries fully before first use of vehicle.
