Towing
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
WARNING
• Driving through water may affect the brakes. After driving through water, check effectiveness of the
brakes by gently pressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle does not slow down at the normal rate,
continue to press the brake pedal until the brakes dry out and normal performance returns.
CAUTION
• When stopped on a hill, use the brake pedal to hold your position. Do not use the accelerator pedal
to hold position.
To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal with your right foot until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1. After stopping the vehicle, firmly press the park brake pedal until it locks. This will prevent the vehicle from
rolling.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with lights: After the park brake is engaged, the brake lights will remain illuminated
for up to four minutes.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and place the Forward/Reverse handle or switch in the NEUTRAL
position. Remove the key when the vehicle is not in use. For gasoline vehicles, also turn off the fuel shut-off
valve
(Figure 15) .
TOWING
WARNING
• Do not tow the vehicle on public streets or highways.
• Use only approved Club Car tow bars.
• Turn the key switch to OFF and place the Forward/Reverse handle or switch in the NEUTRAL position
before towing the vehicle.
• Extreme caution should be used when towing any vehicle.
• Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) towing speed.
• Do not allow people in the vehicles being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to overturn,
possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
• Do not tow more than one Club Car vehicle with another Club Car vehicle. If more than one vehicle
must be towed, an adequately powered vehicle (tractor or full sized truck) properly fitted, with a tow
hitch height of 11 inches (28 cm) should be used. Only heavy-duty tow bars should be used for
multi-vehicle towing. Never tow more than five vehicles at one time.
• Gasoline vehicles only: Turn the fuel shut-off valve to closed (OFF) position (Figure 15).
