FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER

The vehicle is equipped with a fuel gauge and hour meter housed together at the lower left corner of the
instrument panel. The fuel gauge operates when the key switch is in the ON position, and allows the operator
to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle. The hour meter operates only when the engine is running, and should
be used by the trained technician to track vehicle usage and determine when periodic service procedures are
required. 

See Periodic Service Schedule on page 23.

HEADLIGHT CONTROL

The headlight control is located on the instrument panel between the fuel gauge/hour meter and steering col-
umn. Pull the headlight control knob out to turn the headlights on and push the knob in to turn the headlights
off.

NOTE: 

Using the headlights for extended periods of time without the engine running, or with the engine
idling, will discharge the battery. 

SEAT LATCH

The seats are hinged to allow easy access to the engine compartment. A latch at the rear of each seat bottom
keeps the seat from moving on its hinges while the vehicle is in operation. To disengage the latch, grasp the
seat back and pull firmly in a forward/upward direction until the latch releases. To engage the seat latch, push
down firmly on the seat back until the seat locks into place.

 See following WARNING.

PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST

Each Club Car vehicle is thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving your new
vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect the vehi-
cle to be satisfied that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.

Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect your new vehicle. This checklist and the Performance Inspe-
cation checklist should also be used daily to ensure vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction
with the Periodic Service Schedule on page 23. Any problems should be corrected by your Club Car distrib-
utor/dealer or a trained technician.

• General:

 All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws

are tight. Check hose clamps for tight fit and the starter belt for tightness.

• Safety and information decals:

 Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place.

See pages 4 and 5.

 

• Tires:

 Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a

daily basis. 

See Vehicle Specifications on page 33.

• Battery:

 Before using vehicle for the first time, check electrolyte to ensure it is at the proper level

(Figure 22, Page 31)

. Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and battery

should be fully charged. Check that terminal covers are in place and in good condition.

• Engine:

 Check for proper engine oil level. 

See Engine Oil Level Check on page 26.

• Fuel:

 Check fuel level. 

See Fueling Instructions on page 30.

 Check fuel tank, lines, cap, pump, fuel

filters, and carburetor for fuel leakage on a daily basis.

• Exhaust system:

 Check for leaks.
