FOREWORD
Club Car vehicles are designed and built to provide the ultimate in performance efficiency; however, proper
maintenance and repair are essential for achieving maximum service life and continued safe and reliable
operation.
This manual provides detailed information for the maintenance and repair of the Precedent gasoline vehicle.
This manual also provides detailed information for removing and replacing FE290 engines and transaxles, but
does not contain information for the disassembly, repair or rebuilding of FE290 engines or transaxles. For
complete detailed disassembly, repair or rebuild procedures, see the Engines and Drivetrain Components,
Repair and Rebuild Manual (CCI P/N 102396501).
The procedures provided herein must be properly implemented, and the DANGER, WARNING, and CAU-
TION statements must be heeded.
This manual was written for the trained technician who already possesses knowledge and skills in electrical
and mechanical repair. If the technician does not have such knowledge and skills, attempted service or
repairs to the vehicle may render the vehicle unsafe. For this reason, Club Car advises that all repairs and/or
service be performed by an authorized Club Car distributor/dealer representative or by a Club Car factory-
trained technician.
It is the policy of Club Car, Inc. to assist its distributors and dealers in continually updating their service knowl-
edge and facilities so they can provide prompt and efficient service for vehicle owners. Regional technical rep-
resentatives, vehicle service seminars, periodic service bulletins, maintenance and service manuals, and
other service publications also represent Club Car’s continuing commitment to customer support.
This manual covers all aspects of typical vehicle service; unique situations, however, do sometimes occur
when servicing a vehicle. If it appears that a service question is not answered in this manual, you may write
to us at: Club Car, Inc.; P.O. Box 204658; Augusta, Georgia 30917; Attention: Technical Services, or contact

SECTION 1 – SAFETY
To ensure the safety of those servicing Club Car vehicles, and to protect the vehicles from possible damage
resulting from improper service or maintenance, the procedures in this manual must be followed.
It is important to note that throughout this manual there are statements labeled DANGER, WARNING, or CAU-
TION. These special statements relate to specific safety issues, and must be read, understood, and heeded
before proceeding with procedures. There are statements labeled NOTE, which provide other essential ser-
vice or maintenance information.
ý DANGER
• A DANGER indicates an immediate hazard that will result in severe personal injury or death.
ý WARNING
• A WARNING indicates an immediate hazard that could result in severe personal injury or death.
ý CAUTION
• A CAUTION with the safety alert symbol indicates a hazard or unsafe practice that could
result in minor personal injury.
CAUTION
• A caution without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that
could result in property damage.
GENERAL WARNINGS
The following safety statements must be heeded whenever the vehicle is being operated, repaired, or ser-
viced.
Other specific safety statements appear throughout this manual and on the vehicle.
ý DAN GER
• Battery – Explosive gases! Do not smoke. Keep sparks and flames away from the vehicle and
service area. Ventilate when charging or operating vehicle in an enclosed area. Wear a full
face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
• Battery – Poison! Contains acid! Causes severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing. Antidotes:
- External: Flush with water. Call a physician immediately.
- Internal: Drink large quantities of milk or water. Follow with milk of magnesia or vegetable
oil. Call a physician immediately.
- Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Call a physician immediately.
- Gasoline – Flammable! Explosive! Do not smoke. Keep sparks and flames away from the
vehicle and service area. Service only in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not operate gasoline vehicle in an enclosed area without proper ventilation. The engine
produces carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison.

SAFETY General Warnings
Page 1-2 2005 Precedent Gasoline Golf Car Maintenance and Service Manual

ý WARNING
• Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle. Anyone doing even simple
repairs or service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair.
The appropriate instructions must be used when performing maintenance, service, or
accessory installation.
• Follow the procedures exactly as stated in this manual, and heed all DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION statements in this manual as well as those on the vehicle.
• Prior to leaving the vehicle unattended or servicing the vehicle, turn the key switch OFF,
remove the key, and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Chock the
wheels when servicing the vehicle.
• To avoid unintentionally starting the vehicle:
- Disconnect battery cables, negative (–) cable first (Figure 1-1, Page 1-3).
- Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle or battery charger.
Wear a full face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry such as rings, watches, chains, etc., when servicing the
vehicle.
• Use insulated tools when working near batteries or electrical connections. Use extreme
caution to avoid shorting of components or wiring.
• Frame ground – Do not allow tools or other metal objects to contact frame when
disconnecting battery cables or other electrical wiring. Do not allow a positive wire to touch
the vehicle frame, engine, or any other metal component.
• Moving parts! Do not attempt to service the vehicle while it is running.
• Hot! Do not attempt to service hot engine or exhaust system. Failure to heed this warning
could result in severe burns.
• Lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a suitable lifting device (chain hoist or hydraulic
floor jack) with 1000 lb. (454 kg) minimum lifting capacity. Do not use lifting device to hold
vehicle in raised position. Use approved jack stands of proper weight capacity to support the
vehicle and chock the wheels that remain on the floor. When not performing a test or service
procedure that requires movement of the wheels, lock the brakes.
• Improper use of the vehicle or failure to properly maintain it could result in decreased vehicle
performance, severe personal injury, or death.
• Any modification or change to the vehicle that affects the stability or handling of the vehicle,
or increases maximum vehicle speed beyond factory specifications, could result in severe
personal injury or death.
• Check the vehicle for proper location of all vehicle safety and operation decals and make sure
they are in place and are easy to read.
• Do not leave children unattended on vehicle.

SAFETY COMMITTEE
If the golf car is to be rented or is part of a fleet, we 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 should include at a minimum:
