GENERAL INFORMATION:
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive
maintenance program (regularly scheduled service, even though the vehicle is functional). Regular
and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent the vehicle down-time and expensive repairs that result
from neglect. Any vehicle not functioning correctly should be removed from use until it is properly
repaired. This will prevent further damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to unsafe
c o n d i t i o n s .
Contact your local CLUB CAR distributor/dealer to perform all repairs and semi-annual and annual peri-
odic service.
