MAINTENANCE
See General Warnings on page 12.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, follow an established preventive maintenance program. Regular and
consistent maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive repairs. Use the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety
Checklist on page 25, the Performance Inspection on page 26, and the following Periodic Service Schedule and
Periodic Lubrication Schedule to keep the vehicle in proper working condition.
Any vehicle not functioning correctly should not be used until it is properly repaired. This will prevent further damage to
the vehicle and help prevent injury to occupants resulting from unsafe conditions.
Contact your local Club Car dealer/distributor for repairs and semiannual and annual periodic service.
WARNING
• Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle. Anyone doing even simple repairs or
service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair. The appropriate
instructions must be used when performing maintenance, service, or accessory installation.
• If any problems are found during scheduled inspection or service, do not operate vehicle until repairs
are made. Failure to make necessary repairs could result in fire, property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry such as rings, watches, chains, etc., when servicing the vehicle.
• Turn key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, place the Forward/Reverse handle in the
NEUTRAL position and chock the wheels prior to servicing.
• Moving parts: Do not attempt to service vehicle while engine is running.
• Hot! Do not attempt to service hot engine or exhaust system. Failure to heed this warning could
result in severe burns.
• For vehicles with cargo beds, remove all cargo (including accessories) before raising the bed or
servicing the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a prop rod, ensure that it is securely engaged
while bed is raised. Do not close bed until all persons are clear of cargo bed area. Keep hands clear of
all crush areas. Do not drop cargo bed; lower gently and keep entire body clear. Failure to heed this
warning could result in severe personal injury or death.
• Do not work on vehicle powertrain or under cargo bed when it is loaded.
• To avoid unintentionally starting the vehicle, disconnect battery. See Disconnecting the Battery –
Diesel Vehicles on page 13.
• If wires are removed or replaced make sure wiring and wire harness are properly routed and secured.
Failure to properly route and secure wiring could result in vehicle malfunction, property damage,
personal injury, or death.
• Lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a suitable lifting device (chain hoist or hydraulic floor
jack) with 1000 lb (454 kg) minimum lifting capacity. Do not use lifting device to hold vehicle in raised
position. Use approved jack stands of proper weight capacity to support the vehicle and chock
the wheels that remain on the floor.
• When servicing the vehicle with part of the vehicle on jack stands, do not operate the engine with the
Forward/Reverse handle in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position. The all-wheel drive system will
engage any wheel(s), front or rear, with traction (Figure 3).
