WARNING
• 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.
• Reduce normal driving speed when transporting a Club Car vehicle on a trailer.
• Do not tow a Club Car vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is on an
approved trailer.
• For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such as
taillights, brake lights, etc.
• The vehicle to be transported 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 engaged.
• Because of the added length of the trailer, use caution when making turns.
• Do not transport the vehicle on a trailer with a load in the vehicle cargo bed.
• Secure the seats 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 following approved load rating per vehicle being transported:
Villager 2 LSV : 1069 lb. (486 Kg)
Villager 2+2 LSV :1129 lb. (512 kg)
NOTE:
A two-car trailer should be rated at:
Villager 2 LSV : 2 x 1069 lb. = 2138 lb. (2 x 486 kg = 972kg)
Villager 2+2 LSV : 2 x 1129 lb. = 2258 lb. (2 x 512 kg = 1024kg)
