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 the vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any prob-
lems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
All Vehicles
• Forward/Reverse control:
Check for proper operation.
See Controls and Indicators on page 20.
• Brakes:
Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pres-
sure, it should not go more than halfway to the floor, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight
stop. If the brake pedal goes more than halfway to the floor, or if the 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 pressed to the floor 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). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is pressed.
• Reverse buzzer:
The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch is in the REVERSE position.
• Steering:
The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• General:
Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
Electric Vehicles
• Accelerator:
With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse switch in the FOR-
WARD position, as the accelerator pedal is pressed, the motor should start and the vehicle should
accelerate smoothly to full speed. Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse. When the
pedal is released, it should return to the original position and the motor should rotate freely or go into
motor braking mode.
See Pedal Up Motor Braking below.
• Zero Speed Detect:
With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, place the
Tow/Run switch in the RUN position and attempt to push the vehicle. Motor braking should engage and
cause resistance to rolling (moving at no more than 1 to 3 mph) (1.5 to 4.8 km/h) with the Forward/
Reverse switch in any position. When zero speed detect motor braking is engaged, the reverse buzzer
should emit a distinct pattern of beeps.
See following WARNING.

WARNING
• Zero-speed detect will not limit vehicle speed to 1 mph (1.6 km/h) on very steep grades. Do
not operate vehicle on slopes exceeding 20% grades.
