Vehicle Operation
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, in conjunction with the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 22, as a guide
to inspect the vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car
distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
•
Forward/Reverse shifter:
Check for proper operation.
See Controls and Indicators on page 18.
•
Brakes:
Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pressure, the
vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, have the brake system
checked and adjusted as required. When the brake pedal is fully pressed under heavy pressure, the pedal should
feel firm and the distance between the back of the pedal and the floorboard should be a minimum of 1.25 inches
(3.2 cm). Brake adjustment must be maintained so the brake pedal cannot be pressed to the floorboard under
any circumstance.
•
Park brake:
When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary on an incline of
20% or less.
•
Reverse buzzer:
The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is in the
REVERSE position.
•
Steering:
The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel. Be sure the
steering wheel adjustment lever is securely locked into position.
•
Accelerator:
After starting the engine with the key switch and placing the Forward/Reverse handle in the
FORWARD position, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accelerator pedal is pressed. When
the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should idle. This vehicle operates at
reduced speed in reverse.
•
Governor:
Check maximum vehicle speed. The vehicle should operate in forward at a maximum speed of 14 mph
(22.5 km/h) on a level surface.
•
General:
Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and performance.
Have a dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
