GENERAL INFORMATION
See General Warning on page 1-2.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, follow an established preventive maintenance program. Regular and
consistent maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive repairs. Use the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety
Checklist on page 10-2, the Performance Inspection on page 10-3, and the following Periodic Service Schedule and
Periodic Lubrication Schedule to keep the vehicle in proper working condition.
Any vehicle not functioning correctly should not be used until it is properly repaired. This will prevent further damage to
the vehicle and help prevent injury to occupants resulting from unsafe conditions.
Contact your local Club Car dealer/distributor for repairs and semiannual and annual periodic service.
