TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER
ý
WARNING
• For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such
as taillights, brake lights, etc.
• Do not tow a Club Car vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is
on an approved trailer.
• The vehicle to be towed should be tied securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse
handle or switch in the NEUTRAL position, the key switch in the OFF position, and the park
brake firmly pressed and locked.
• Do not allow people in the trailer or vehicle 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.
• When towing on a trailer, normal road speed of the tow vehicle should be reduced.
• Because of the added length of the trailer, use caution when making turns.
• Remove the vehicle windshield and secure the seat bottom before transporting on a trailer.
If the vehicle must be transported over long distances or on public highways, it should be transported on an
approved trailer that has the approved load rating of 1200 lb. (544 kg) per vehicle being transported.
NOTE: A two-car trailer should be rated at 2 x 1200 = 2400 lb. (2 x 544 = 1088 kg).
STORAGE
