SECTION 10 – PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
10
GENERAL INFORMATION
See General Warning on page 1-1.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive maintenance
program (regularly scheduled service). Regular and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle down-time
and expensive repairs that result from neglect. Any vehicle not functioning correctly should be removed from use
until it is properly repaired. This will prevent further damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to
unsafe conditions.
Contact your local authorized distributor/dealer to perform all repairs and semiannual and annual periodic service.
PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST
Each Club Car vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving your new
vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect each vehicle to
ensure that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle. This checklist should be used daily to ensure that the
vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction with the Performance Inspection on page 10-2 and the
Periodic Service Schedules on page 10-3. Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a
trained technician.
