Towing with the Vehicle
Page 22 2003 Turf Utility Gasoline Vehicle Owner’s Manual
• Reduce speed and avoid sudden stops when backing up. Failure to do so may cause the
vehicle to overturn or flip over backwards.
• Do not load the tailgate. The tailgate should be in the upright position and latched securely
while the vehicle is in motion.
• To help avoid shifting the vehicle load and possibly overturning the vehicle, avoid sudden
starts, sudden stops, and abrupt turns. The cargo’s center of gravity may affect the handling,
steering and braking of the vehicle
• To help prevent cargo from shifting and possibly injuring a passenger or affecting the
vehicle’s handling, make sure cargo is well secured.
• Avoid top-heavy loads. The center of gravity of a load should never exceed 15 inches (38 cm)
above the bottom of the cargo bed.
• Unload cargo bed before raising vehicle with a lift, hoist, or jack.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when loaded. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning may cause vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
Center and secure cargo as far forward as possible in the cargo bed. Do not overload the vehicle. See the fol-
lowing chart for vehicle capacities
TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE
∆
WARNING
• Do not tow a vehicle or trailer on public streets or highways.
• Normal vehicle operating speed should be reduced when towing.
• Extreme caution should be used when towing.
• Total vehicle capacity, including the vehicle load rating and the gross weight of the vehicle or
trailer being towed should not exceed the weight previously specified.
• Do not allow riders in the vehicle or trailer 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 vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
Because towing another Club Car vehicle or trailer can have adverse effects on vehicle handling, be espe-
cially cautious when towing with a Club Car vehicle.
See the preceding chart for vehicle capacities .
Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply the brakes and
have someone chock the tires of the trailer. Brakes should be released to allow the chocks to absorb the load
of the trailer. After the tires have been chocked, engage the park brake.
