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 Periodic Service Schedule on page 27.
Any problems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tight.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place.
See pages 8 through 14.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications on page 36. Visually inspect for
wear, damage, and proper inflation.
• Batteries: Before using vehicle for the first time check electrolyte to ensure it is at the proper level
(Figure 11, Page 30). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and batteries
should be fully charged.
• Charger cord, plug, and receptacle: Visually inspect for crack, loose connections, and frayed wiring.
See Plug and Receptacle on page 33.

WARNING
• Be sure the plastic has been removed from the seat bottom before operating the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in fire, property damage, personal injury, or death.
PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving
instructions, take the vehicle for a test drive.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any prob-
lems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
All Vehicles
• Forward/Reverse switch: Check for proper operation. See Controls and Indicators on page 15.
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully depressed under moderate
pressure, it should not go more than halfway to the floor, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight
stop. If the brake pedal goes more than halfway to the floor or if the vehicle swerves or fails to stop,
have the brake system checked and adjusted as required. Brake adjustment must be maintained so
that the brake pedal cannot be depressed to the floor under any circumstance.
• Park brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on
an incline of 20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed.
• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch is in REVERSE.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator: As the accelerator pedal is depressed, the motor should start and the vehicle should
accelerate smoothly to full speed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position
and the motor should rotate freely. The vehicle will run at a reduced speed when in REVERSE.
IQ System vehicles only: When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the
motor should rotate freely or go into motor braking mode. See "Pedal Up" motor braking below.
