Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
All new spark plugs should be properly gapped to .030"
(.76 mm) (CHAMPION RC12YC), given a light coat of
anti-seize compound and tightened to 15 ft. lbs. (20 Nm)
torque.
Use care not to overtighten the plug. Overtightening can
damage the aluminum cylinder head threads.

BRAKES
The master cylinder is located under the driver side seat.
It is important to maintain proper fluid levels in the brake
master cylinder. The fill cap for the cylinder is located
under the seat. When checking the fluid, wipe off any dirt
from the fill cap before removing it to prevent contamina-
tion. Fluid level should be maintained at 1/4" (6 mm)
below the top of the housing. Use DOT 3 automotive
brake fluid.
DAILY BRAKE TEST
After the vehicle has been put into service, it is recom-
mended that the brakes be checked daily by performing
the following test:
To prevent severe injury or death resulting from
operating a vehicle with improperly operating
brake system, the braking system must be
properly maintained. All driving brake tests
must be done in a safe location with regard for
the safety of all personnel.
Depress the brake pedal. The pedal should have some
free travel and then become hard. A brake pedal that has
no free travel, excessive free travel or a spongy feel is
indicating that a brake inspection is required. A brake
pedal that falls after it is applied indicates a leak in the
master or wheel cylinders. Check for adequate brake
fluid level. Adjust brakes if required and inspect system
for fluid leaks.
TIRES
Standard tires for this vehicle are uni-directional and should
never be moved from one side of vehicle to the other.
This vehicle comes standard with uni-directional tires.
Left side tires should always remain on the left side of the
vehicle. Right side tires should always remain on the
right side of the vehicle. Uni-directional tires have an
arrow on the sidewall indicating direction of rotation when
moving forward. Tire condition should be inspected and
inflation pressures checked per the Periodic Service
Schedule (Ref Fig. 37 on page 27) when the tires are
cool. Be sure to install valve dust cap after checking or
inflating.
A tire explosion can cause severe injury or
death. Never exceed inflation pressure rating
on tire sidewall.
To prevent tire explosion, pressurize tire
with small amount of air applied intermittent-
ly to seat beads. Never exceed the tire man-
ufacturer’s recommendation when seating a
bead. Protect face and eyes from escaping
air when removing valve core.
Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the
low volume of these small tires, overinflation
can occur in a matter of seconds. Overinfla-
tion could cause the tire to separate from
the wheel or cause the tire to explode,
either of which could cause personal injury.
Do not use low inflation pressure tires on
any E-Z-GO vehicle. Do not use any tire
which has a recommended inflation pres-
sure less than the inflation pressure recom-
mended in Owner’s Manual.
Tire inflation will depend on the type of tires fitted but
