Optional Gearing: Forward/Reverse gear selector, typically integrated into the drivetrain assembly. No traditional gear ratios in a manual sense. Features Drive System: Shaft drive to rear differential. Clutch Engagement: Centrifugal clutch engages at higher RPMs. Maintenance Belt Inspection: Crucial for CVT performance and longevity; manual will cover inspection and replacement intervals. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Overall Length: Approx. 90-100 inches (Varies slightly by configuration) Overall Width: Approx. 47-50 inches (Varies slightly by configuration) Overall Height: Approx. 70-75 inches (with roof) Weights Curb Weight: Approx. 400-500 lbs (Varies by configuration) Towing Capacity: Not typically specified for golf carts, but designed for light-duty hauling. Payload Capacity: Refer to manual, typically 2-4 persons plus light cargo. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Ratings: N/A (Golf carts are not subject to federal crash test standards for passenger vehicles) Active Features Braking System Type: Drum brakes on rear axle, often with parking brake mechanism. Lighting: Headlights, taillights, brake lights (dependent on configuration). Passive Features Body Construction: Steel frame with fiberglass or plastic body panels. Seatbelts: Optional or standard depending on specific model and regulations. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Audio System: Basic AM/FM radio or cassette player may be optional. Manual will cover any installed audio components. Driver Assistance Parking Brake: Mechanical parking brake system. Connectivity Charging System: 12V electrical system with a charging system (alternator or stator/regulator). 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Engine Oil Change: Refer to manual for specific mileage or time-based intervals (e.g., every 50-100 operating hours or annually). Air Filter Replacement: Refer to manual; typically checked at regular intervals and replaced as needed based on operating conditions. Spark Plug Replacement: Refer to manual for recommended intervals (e.g., every 100-200 operating hours). Belt Inspection Replacement: Crucial for CVT; inspect for wear, cracks, and proper tension regularly, replace as per manual's recommendation (e.g., every 1-2 years or specific operating hours). Fluid Specifications Transmission Fluid: Specific lubricant type for the differential and CVT housing will be detailed in the manual. Often a specific gear oil or automatic transmission fluid...
