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 your Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
• Forward/Reverse shifter:
Check for proper operation.
See Controls and Indicators on page 12.
• 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
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 is
in the REVERSE position.
• Steering:
The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• 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. Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Governor:
Check maximum speed of the vehicle. The XRT 900 should operate at 17-19 mph (27-31
km/h) on a level surface. Turf 252 and Carryall 252 should operate at 15-17 mph (24-27 km/h) on a
level surface.
• General:
Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
