CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
See General Warnings on page 10.
ý WARNING
• Before allowing anyone to drive the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls
and operating procedures.
• Do not tamper with the governor. Doing so will void the warranty, as well as damage the
engine and other components, and could result in property damage, personal injury, or death
due to unsafe speeds.
• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the vehicle is in motion.
• Stop the vehicle before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle. Engine must be at idle before
shifting the Forward/Reverse handle. Failure to do so may result in injury to inattentive
passengers and (or) damage to the vehicle.
• Release the accelerator pedal and then press the brake pedal firmly until the vehicle stops. To
avoid unintentionally starting or rolling the vehicle, set the park brake, place the Forward/
Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch to the OFF position, and remove
the key when leaving the vehicle.
KEY SWITCH
Each vehicle is equipped with either a two-position key switch or a three-position key switch. Turf 252 and Car-
ryall 252 vehicles have a two-position key switch and are referred to as “pedal-start”. The XRT 900 has a three-
position key switch and is referred to as “key-start”.
The key switch (1) is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column (Figure 3).
• Pedal-start vehicle: The key switch has two positions, OFF and ON, which are clearly labeled.
• Key-start vehicle: The key switch has three positions, OFF, ON and START. To start the vehicle, turn
the key past the ON position to the START position and hold until the engine is running smoothly.
Release the key and it will return to the ON position and the engine should idle. See following WARN-
ING and CAUTION.
ý WARNING
• Moving parts! Keep clear of the engine compartment while the engine is running.
CAUTION
• Do not “rev” the engine for long periods of time while the Forward/Reverse handle is in the
NEUTRAL position. Failure to heed this caution could result in damage to the unitized
transaxle.
• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the accelerator pedal is pressed. Shift the
handle only when the vehicle is at a complete stop. Failure to heed this caution could result in
damage to the unitized transaxle.
NOTE: The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.

Controls and Indicators
2007 Gasoline Utility Vehicle Owner’s Manual Page 13
FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
The Forward/Reverse handle (2) is located on the right-hand side of the instrument panel (Figure 3). The
handle has three distinct positions: F(FORWARD), N(NEUTRAL), and R(REVERSE). Push the handle up to
operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or pull the handle down to operate the vehicle in reverse. Club Car
vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/
Reverse handle is in the REVERSE position.
• Pedal-start vehicle: The engine will not run when the handle is in the NEUTRAL position.
• Key-start vehicle: The engine will idle while in the NEUTRAL position. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Key-start vehicle: The engine will stop running if the accelerator is pressed while the Forward/
Reverse handle is in the NEUTRAL position.
HEADLAMP CONTROL
The headlamp switch (3) is located on the instrument panel to the right of the steering column (Figure 3).
Press the side of the switch with the headlamp symbol to turn the headlamps on and press the other side to
turn the headlamps off.
NOTE: Using the headlamps for extended periods of time without the engine running, or with the engine
idling will discharge the battery.

LOW OIL WARNING LAMP
The vehicle is equipped with a low oil warning lamp (4), located on the instrument panel just above the steer-
ing column (Figure 3). If the warning lamp comes on, oil should be checked and added to the engine as nec-
essary before continuing to use the vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven when the low oil warning lamp
remains on. If the warning lamp goes on and off, the vehicle may be driven, but oil should be added at the first
opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning lamp stays on, have a trained technician check the vehi-
cle.
CAUTION
• Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning lamp stays on may result in
permanent engine damage.
FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER
The vehicle is equipped with a fuel gauge/hour meter (5), located on the instrument panel (Figure 3). The fuel
gauge allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle. The hour meter should be used by the
trained technician to track vehicle usage and determine when periodic service procedures are required. See
Periodic Service Schedule on page 26.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it (Figure 4). The operation of
the accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile:
• Pedal-start vehicle: When the key switch is in the ON position, and the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch is in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position, pressing the accelerator pedal will automati-
cally release the park brake and start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (forward or reverse).
When the accelerator is released, power will be cut off and the motor or engine will stop running.
• Key-start vehicle: The engine must first be running before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle and
pressing the accelerator pedal. As the accelerator pedal is pressed, speed will increase until full speed
is reached. When the accelerator is released, the engine will idle. See WARNING and CAUTION on
page 12.
Figure 4 Accelerator and Brake Pedals

Controls and Indicators
2007 Gasoline Utility Vehicle Owner’s Manual Page 15
BRAKE PEDAL
The brake pedal is the large pedal on the left with the word STOP molded into it (Figure 4). To slow or stop
the vehicle, press the brake pedal (Figure 5).
PARK BRAKE PEDAL
The park brake pedal is the small raised portion in the upper left corner of the brake pedal. It has the word
PARK molded into it and the words PARK BRAKE marked on top of it (Figure 5). To set the park brake, press
the brake pedal firmly and tilt the park brake portion of the pedal forward (Figure 6).
ý WARNING
• The park brake will release automatically when either the accelerator or brake pedal is
pressed. The park brake has multiple locking positions and should be firmly pressed and
locked to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
CHOKE
The choke is located on the seat support panel below and to the left of the driver’s left knee (Figure 7). If the
vehicle is hard to start in cool or cold temperatures, activate choke: press the accelerator pedal halfway to the
floor, then pull the choke handle out to activate. Release the handle when the engine begins to run smoothly.

Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist
Page 16 2007 Gasoline Utility Vehicle Owner’s Manual
NEUTRAL LOCKOUT
For the convenience of the trained technician, there is a neutral lockout switch located on the seat support
panel under the seat (Figure 8). The neutral lockout switch has two positions, MAINTENANCE and OPER-
ATE, which are clearly marked.
• Pedal-start vehicles: When the switch is in the MAINTENANCE position, it will allow the technician to
run the engine in the NEUTRAL position to perform certain maintenance and/or repair functions. With
the switch in this position, the vehicle will not operate if the Forward/Reverse handle is placed in either
the FORWARD or REVERSE position.
• Key-start vehicle: When the switch is in the MAINTENANCE position, it will allow the technician to run
the engine in FORWARD, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL for certain maintenance and/or repair functions.
However, if the Forward/Reverse handle is in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position and the
accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine will stop running.
ý WARNING
• With the switch in the MAINTENANCE position and the engine running, the vehicle may move
suddenly if the Forward/Reverse handle is shifted or accidentally bumped. To prevent this,
chock the front and rear wheels and firmly set the park brake before servicing or leaving the
vehicle.
NOTE: Pedal-start vehicle: Be sure to return the switch to the OPERATE position after servicing the vehi-
cle, or it will not run with the Forward/Reverse handle in either the FORWARD or REVERSE posi-
tion.
Key-start vehicle: The switch must be returned to the OPERATE position after servicing is com-
plete, or the engine will stop running when the accelerator pedal is pressed, and the Forward/
Reverse handle is in the FORWARD or REVERSE position.
PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST
Each Club Car vehicle is thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving your new
vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect the vehi-
cle to ensure that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect your new vehicle. This checklist should be used daily to
ensure vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction with the Periodic Service Schedule on
page 27. Any problems should be corrected by your Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
Figure 8 Neutral Lockout Switch

Performance Inspection
2007 Gasoline Utility Vehicle Owner’s Manual Page 17
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are tight. Check all hose clamps for tight fit as well as the starter belt for tightness.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place.
See pages 4 through 7.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a
daily basis. See Vehicle Specifications on page 36.
• Battery: Before using vehicle for the first time, check electrolyte to ensure it is at the proper level
(Figure 21, Page 33). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and battery
should be fully charged.
• Engine: Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil on page 29.
• Fuel: Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions on page 31. Check fuel tank, lines, cap, pump, fuel
filters, and carburetor for fuel leakage on a daily basis.
• Exhaust system: Check for leaks.
ý WARNING
• Be sure the plastic has been removed from the seat bottom before operating the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a fire, property damage, personal injury or death.
PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving
instructions, take the vehicle for a test drive.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any prob-
lems should be corrected by your Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
• Forward/Reverse shifter: Check for proper operation. See Controls and Indicators on page 12.
• 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
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 is
in the REVERSE position.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator: After starting the engine with the key switch and placing the Forward/Reverse handle in
the FORWARD position, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accelerator pedal
is pressed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should
idle. Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Governor: Check maximum speed of the vehicle. The XRT 900 should operate at 17-19 mph (27-31
km/h) on a level surface. Turf 252 and Carryall 252 should operate at 15-17 mph (24-27 km/h) on a
level surface.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
