WARNING
• 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 transported should be tied securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse
handle in NEUTRAL, the key switch OFF, and the park brake firmly depressed and locked.
• 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.
• Remove the vehicle windshield 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:
Carryall 1
1600 lb. (727 kg)
Carryall 2
1600 lb. (727 kg)
Carryall 6
2000 lb. (909 kg)
NOTE:
A two-car trailer should be rated at 2 x 1600 lb. = 3200 lb. (2 x 727 kg = 1454 kg) for Carryall 1 and
2, or 2 x 2000 lb. = 4000 lb. (2 x 909 kg = 1818 kg) for Carryall 6).

WARNING
• Turn the key switch OFF, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle in the
NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle or a
fire hazard.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery.
Frozen batteries can explode.
∆
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
• When washing the vehicle, do not direct water stream at the speed switch, Forward/Reverse
switch, or other electronic component.
PREPARING THE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1. Unload the vehicle so that tires are supporting only the weight of the vehicle.
2. Fully charge batteries.
See Charging Batteries on page 30.
3. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
4. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.
