Model Identification:

The serial number of your CLUB CAR is stamped on a data plate mounted on the frame directly under the right dash (Example: AG9005-123456).

NOTE: Always mention this number-when ordering parts or making inquiries

(See Figure

1

).

Safety Committee:

If the golf car is going to be rented or is part of a fleet, w e strongly recommend that a safety committee be appointed. One of the main concerns of this committee should be the safe operation of the golf cars. This includes such things as where the golf cars should be driven, who should and who should not drive the golf cars, instructing all first time drivers in the controls and operation of the golf car, seeing that the golf cars are well maintained in safe driving condition and h o w the various rules are t o be enforced. The safety committee should include all these items at a minimum and such others as the committee feels necessary or appropriate.

Check tire pressure. It should be

12-14 psi.

Engine:

Check for proper engine oil level (See Page 12). Be sure spark plug wire is in clamp on top of engine.

Fuel:

Check fuel level (See Fueling instructions

-

Page 5).

Be sure the plastic

has

been removed from the b o t t o m of the seat before operating vehicle. Failure t o do so may result in a fire or property damage.

Performance inspection

-

After you have familiarized yourself with the car's controls (See Page 5) and have read and understood the driving instructions (See Page the following:

Brakes:

Be sure that the brakes work properly. Both rear wheels should brake properly and the pedal should not go more than halfway to the floor. if it does, have brakes adjusted.

Park Brake:

The park brake should lock the wheels when latched and should release when the accelerator or brake pedal is pushed.

Steering:

The car should be easy to steer and should not have free play i n the steering wheel.

Accelerator Pedal:

As the accelerator pedal is pushed, the engine should start and the car should come smoothly up to full speed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should stop gradually.

Controls:

If renting or loaning this car, make sure t h a t t h e driver is familiar with all controls and operating instructions before allowing the car t o be driven.

Key Switch

-

The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column (See Figure 2).

It has two (2) positions, "on" and "off" which are clearly labeled. Remove key i n the " o f " position only.

Turn key switch t o "off" and remove key w h e n car is n o t i n use t o avoid unintentional starting o f the car.

Forward-Reverse Control

-

The forward-reverse shift lever is located below and to the right of the driver's right knee on the seat support panel (See

Figure 3). The lever has three (3) distinct positions: F (forward), N (neutral), and R (reverse). Rotate the lever toward the driver (F) to run the car in forward and toward the passenger

(R) to run the car in reverse. When the lever is in the straight up or neutral (N) position, the car will not run and the engine wiil stop if shifted to this position while running.

D o not shift forward and reverse lever while car i s i n motion. Always bring car

to a

Buzzer w i l l sound as a warning when car is in reverse.

Neutral Lock-Out -The golf car has a neutral lock-out circuit that prevents the driver from starting the car i n neutral. If the car is started in forward or reverse and shifted to neutral the engine stops running.

For the convenience of the trained and experienced mechanic, there is a neutral lock-out cam located on the back of the forward and reverse lever. If the neutral lock-out cam is pulled out approximately

?4 of an inch and rotated one half turn until it snaps. into place, the cam will be i n the SERVICE position (See Figure 4). This w i l l allow the mechanic to run the car in neutral for certain maintenance procedures. With the cam i n this position the car will not r u n if the forward and reverse lever is placed i n the forward or reverse positions. To put the car back into the

OPERATE position, pull the cam out approximately % of a n inch and rotate it one half turn until it snaps back into place (See Figure 5).

molded i n it

(See

Figure

When the key switch is "on" and the shift lever is i n either forward or reverse and the accelerator pedal is pushed, the parking brake will be automatically released and the engine wiu start.

As

the pedal is pushed further, the engine speeds up and the car will begin to move i n the preselected direction (forward or reverse). Push the accelerator pedal further to increase vehicle speed. When the accelerator pedal is released, the engine will stop running.

NOTE: For safety, the is set for

DS Gasoline car is equipped with a governor to control the maximum speed and

12-14 MPH on a level surface.

The accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile in the following way: Depressing the accelerator will release the parking brake if engaged. Depressing the accelerator automatically starts the vehicle moving.

Each time the accelerator pedal is released, the engine will quit running.

Parking Brake Pedal

-

The parking or park brake pedal is the small raised portion in the upper left corner of the brake pedal with the word "PARK" molded in it

(See Figure 7). The words "Park Brake" are marked above this pedal. To set the park brake, push the brake pedal firmly and tilt the park brake portion of the pedal forward with foot (See Figure 8).

The park brake pedal will release when the accelerator or brake pedal is pushed. The parking brake has many locking teeth so that the brake can be locked i n several positions.

Oil tight

-

The

DS

Gasoline golf car is equipped with a dash mounted oil light above the steering column {See Figure 10). When the oil light is on, it indicates low engine oil. Oil should be added before further use. The car should never be driven if the oil light comes on and stays on. If the oil light goes on and off, you may proceed, but add oil at the first opportunity.

If the oil level is correct and light stays on, have a trained and experienced mechanic check the car.

Driving Instructions:

No one should drive the golf car without first being instructed i n the proper operation and use of the golf car controls. An experienced operator should accompany each first time driver on a short test drive before they operate the golf car alone. Only licensed drivers should be allowed to drive this vehicle.

Do not drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medications.

Figure

8. Select direction by placing shift lever i n desired position F

= forward or R

= reverse.

9.

Slowly push accelerator pedai. The park brake pedal will release and the engine will start. Push accelerator further and the car will move and the speed will increase as the accelerator is depressed until governed speed is reached.

No more than two people should be on

t h e vehicle at one time.

Stop car before shifting forward and reverse lever. Failure

t o do so could result in injury to an unsuspecting

passenger and damage to the golf car.

A

buzzer will sound as a warning when the car is in reverse.

When Driving The Car:

e

Operate the car from the driver's seat only.

has

a load rating of 1200 Ibs, per golf car. (Example: A 2-car

traiier should be rated at 2 x 1200

=

2400 lbs.).

The golf car should be securely tied down t o the trailer. The golf car's key switch should be "off", the shift lever i n "neutra1"and the park brake firmly applied and locked.

When towing a trailer, normal speeds should be reduced and care should be used when turning a corner due t o the added length of the trailer.

Never t o w a golf car behind a passenger vehicte or truck unless it is on an approved trailer.

Remove the windshield before transporting a golf car on a trailer.

Storage:

To prepare your golf car for extended off season storage:

Turn key switch "off", remove key and place forward and reverse lever i n neutral position to avoid unintentional starting of the vehicle.
