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 Turf/Carryall 272/472 vehi-

cles, and should be thoroughly reviewed prior to servicing the vehicles. 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 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, GA 30917; Attention: Technical Services, or contact a Club

Car Technical Service Representative at (706) 863-3000, ext. 3580.
