Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist

2005 Turf Vehicle Owner’s Manual

Page 17

All Vehicles

• Forward/Reverse control:

Check for proper operation.

See Controls and Indicators on page 8.

• Brakes:

Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pres-

sure, 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 pressed 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 pressed.

• Reverse buzzer:

The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle or

switch is in the REVERSE position.

• Steering:

The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.

• General:

Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle ride and perfor-

mance. Have a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.

Electric Vehicles

• Accelerator:

With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse handle or switch in the

FORWARD position, as the accelerator pedal is pressed, 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. Club Car vehicles should run at reduced speed in reverse.

IQ System and IQ Plus 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 Brak-

ing below.

IQ System and IQ Plus Vehicles

• Zero Speed Detect:

With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, place the

Tow/Run switch in the RUN position and attempt to push the vehicle. Motor braking should engage and
cause resistance to rolling (moving at no more than 1 to 3 mph) (1.5 to 4.8 km/h) with the Forward/
Reverse switch in any position. When zero speed detect motor braking is engaged, the reverse buzzer
should emit a distinct pattern of beeps.

See following WARNING.

WARNING

• Zero-speed detect will not limit vehicle speed to 1 mph (1.6 km/h) on very steep grades. Do

not operate vehicle on slopes exceeding 20% grades.

• Pedal Up Motor Braking:

Accelerate the vehicle to full speed and then release the accelerator pedal.

Motor braking should quickly and smoothly slow the vehicle. This feature is selectable for IQ System
vehicles and programmable for IQ Plus vehicles. Contact your local Club Car dealer/distributor to
inquire about this feature.

- IQ System vehicles:

Motor braking will slow the vehicle to 11 mph (17.7 km/h) and disengage when

vehicle slows to below 11 mph (17.7 km/h).

- IQ Plus vehicles:

Motor braking will disengage when the when the vehicles stop, or when it reaches

the programmed lower speed.

• Pedal Down Motor Braking:

Accelerate down an incline with the accelerator pedal pressed. When the

vehicle reaches maximum designed speed, motor braking should engage and limit the vehicle to its
maximum designed speed. On very steep grades, the vehicle may slightly exceed its maximum
designed speed, requiring use of the brake pedal.
