GENERAL INFORMATION

 

We urge the owner/operator to read and understand this manual, and to pay special attention to the features
specific to his/her vehicle(s). 

 

MODEL IDENTIFICATION

 

The serial number of your Club Car is printed on a bar code decal mounted on the frame directly above the
accelerator pedal (Example: AG0001-123456) 

 

(Figure 2,  Page 5)

 

. There is also a second serial number

decal mounted on the front body frame behind the center dash panel. The center dash panel must be
removed to access it. 

 

See following NOTE.

 

 

 

SAFETY COMMITTEE

 

If the golf car is to be rented or is part of a fleet, we strongly recommend that a safety committee be
appointed. One of the main concerns of this committee should be the safe operation of the golf cars.

This should include at a minimum:

 

 

Where golf cars should be driven.

 

 

Ensuring that proper warnings of driving hazards are displayed and visible.

 

 

Who should and who should not drive golf cars.

 

 

Instructing first time drivers.

 

 

Maintaining golf cars in a safe driving condition.

 

 

How various rules are to be enforced.

The safety committee should include all these items and such others as the committee feels necessary or
appropriate.

 

 

ALWAYS HAVE THE VEHICLE SERIAL NUMBER AT HAND WHEN ORDERING PARTS OR
MAKING INQUIRIES. IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED AS A FAIRWAY VILLAGER FOUR
PASSENGER VEHICLE, READ THE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS BEGINNING ON PAGE 22.
