FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER

Gasoline Vehicles Only

The vehicle is equipped with a fuel gauge/hour meter (2), located on the dash panel

(Figure 16)

. The fuel

gauge allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle. The hour meter should be used by the
trained technician to track vehicle usage and determine when periodic service procedures are required.

See

Periodic Service Schedules on page 29.

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 Schedules on page 29.
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. On gasoline vehicles, check all hose clamps for tight fit as well as the starter belt for tightness.

• Safety and information decals:

Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place.

See pages 4 through 9.

• Tires:

Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a daily

basis.

See Vehicle Specifications – Electric Vehicles on page 44.

• Battery(ies):

Check electrolyte to ensure that it is at its proper level

(Figure 24, Page 34

Figure 29,

. Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion. On electric vehicles,

charge batteries fully before first use of vehicle.

• Charger cord, plug, and receptacle (electric vehicles):

Visually inspect for cracks, loose connec-

tions, and frayed wiring.

See Plug and Receptacle on page 37.

• Engine (gasoline vehicles):

Check for proper engine oil level.

See Engine Oil – Gasoline Vehicle

on page 41.

• Fuel (gasoline vehicles):

Check fuel level.

See Fueling Instructions – Gasoline Vehicle on

page 42.

Check

fuel tank, lines, cap, pump, fuel filters, and carburetor for fuel leakage on a daily basis.

• Exhaust system (gasoline vehicles):

Check for leaks.

WARNING

• Be sure the plastic has been removed from the seat bottom before operating the vehicle.

Failure to do so may result in a fire, property damage, personal injury, or death.
