Electric Golf Buggy Transporting the Vehicle
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death:
- Use extra caution when towing a vehicle.
- Do not ride on vehicle being towed.
- Do not attempt to tow the vehicle with ropes, chains or any device other than a factory approved tow bar.
- Do not tow vehicle on highways.
- Do not tow a single vehicle at speeds in excess of 12 mph (19 kph).
- Do not tow more than three vehicles at a time.
- Do not exceed 5 mph (8 kph) while towing multiple vehicles.
- For non-PDS vehicles, place direction selector in neutral position prior to towing to prevent possible damage to electric motor.
- For PDS vehicles, place Run-Tow/Maintenance switch in ‘Tow/Maintenance’ position prior to towing to prevent damage to electric motor and controller.
- Do not tow a single vehicle at speeds in excess of 12 mph (19 kph). Do not tow more than three vehicles at a time. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 kph) while towing multiple vehicles. Towing the vehicle at above recommended speed may result in severe injury and/or damage to vehicle and other property.
- Tow bars are not intended for road use.
- PDS model vehicles are equipped with a ‘Run-Tow/Maintenance’ switch located underneath the seat on the passenger side. The ‘Tow/Maintenance’ position allows the vehicle to roll freely without activating the warning beeper and eliminating potential damage to controller or motor. Check to see that vehicles to be towed are switched to the ‘Tow/Maintenance’ position.
- Never use ropes or chains to tow vehicle(s). Tow bars are available from the Service Parts Department. Tow bars are not intended for highway use. Before towing, place direction selector in neutral. Do not ride on vehicle being towed. Tow bars are designed to tow only one vehicle at a maximum speed of 12 mph (19 kph) and up to three vehicles at a maximum speed of 5 mph (8 kph).
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death while transporting vehicle:
- Secure the vehicle and contents. Never ride on vehicle being transported. Always remove windshield before transporting. Maximum speed with sun top installed is 50 mph (80 kph).
- If the vehicle is to be transported at highway speeds, the sun top must be removed and the seat bottom secured.
- When transporting vehicle below highway speeds, check for tightness of hardware and cracks in sun top at mounting points. Always remove windshield when transporting.
- Always check that the vehicle and contents are adequately secured before transporting. The rated capacity of the trailer or truck must exceed the weight of the vehicle (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle weight) and load plus 1000 lbs. (454 kg). Lock the park brake and secure the vehicle using ratchet tie downs.
