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 Turf and Carryall vehicles and
should be used in conjunction with the appropriate maintenance and service supplement.
If you do not have the appropriate maintenance and service supplement, you may order one from your local
Club Car representative. Maintenance and service supplements available include the following:
This manual and corresponding maintenance and service supplement should be thoroughly reviewed prior to
servicing the vehicle. The procedures provided must be properly implemented, and the DANGER, WARNING,
and CAUTION statements must be heeded.
This manual was written for the trained technician who already has 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 tech-
nician.
It is the policy of Club Car, LLC 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, used in conjunction with the appropriate maintenance and service supplement, covers all
aspects of typical vehicle service; however, unique situations do sometimes occur when servicing a vehicle.
