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 list, in addition to the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 10-2, as a guide to inspect
the vehicle daily for proper operation. Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car dealer/distributor or a trained
technician.
•
Forward/Reverse Control:
Check for proper operation.
•
Brakes:
Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pressure, the
vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, have the brake system
checked and serviced as required. When the brake pedal is fully pressed under heavy pressure, the pedal should
feel firm and the distance between the back of the pedal and the floorboard should be a minimum of 1.25 inches (3.2
cm). Brakes must be maintained so the brake pedal cannot be pressed to the floorboard 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. To adjust park brake, see Park Brake Cable Adjustment on page 6-25. Adjust until park brake
locks wheels and holds the vehicle stationary on an incline of 20% or less.
•
Reverse buzzer:
If equipped with a 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 vehicle speed. The vehicle should operate in forward at a maximum speed of 25
mph (40 km/h) on a level surface.
•
Differential Lock Control:
Check for proper operation.
•
Front Axle Disconnect Control:
Check for proper operation.
•
General:
Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and performance.
Have a Club Car dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.

WARNING
• Service, repairs, and adjustments must be made per instructions in the appropriate maintenance
and service manual.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is constantly subjected to heavy use or severe operating conditions, the preventive maintenance
procedures should be performed more often than recommended in the Periodic Service and Lubrication
Schedule.
Both the Periodic Service Schedule and the Periodic Lubrication Schedule must be followed to keep vehicle in
optimum operating condition.
