FOREWORD
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
This vehicle has been designed and manufactured in the United States of America (USA).
The Standards and Specifications listed in the following text originate in the USA unless oth-
erwise indicated.
The use of non-Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved parts may void the war-
ranty.
Failure to properly maintain batteries may void the warranty. Refer to the battery manual for
instructions on the proper maintenance and care of the batteries.
BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE
All batteries will self-discharge over time. The rate of self-discharge varies depending on the
ambient temperature, the age and condition of the batteries.
A fully charged battery will not freeze in winter temperatures unless the temperature falls
below -75°F (- 60°C).
For winter storage, the batteries must be clean, fully charged and disconnected from any
source of electrical drain.
The battery charger may be left connected to the vehicle to maintain a full charge on the bat-
teries, provided the charger is plugged into an active electrical source. If power to the elec-
trical source is disconnected or interrupted the battery charger will continue to check the
charge on the battery pack, this will draw power from the battery pack and eventually drain
the batteries if power is not restored in a timely manner.
As with all electric vehicles, the batteries must be checked and recharged as required or at a
minimum of 30 day intervals.

personal injury or death and damage to the vehicle. Use extreme caution and, if unsure as to the potential for injury,
refer the repair or maintenance to a qualified mechanic.
VENTILATION
Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging cycle of batteries and is explosive in concentrations as low as 4%. Because
hydrogen gas is lighter than air, it will collect in the ceiling of buildings necessitating proper ventilation. Five air
exchanges per hour is considered the minimum requirement.
NEVER charge a vehicle in an area that is subject to flame or spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or propane
water heaters and furnaces.
Always use a dedicated circuit for each battery charger. Do not permit other appliances to be plugged into the
receptacle when the charger is in operation.
Chargers must be installed and operated in accordance with charger manufacturers recommendations or applicable
electrical code (whichever is higher).
GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES
Introduction
Like other machines, golf cars can cause injury if improperly used or maintained. This section contains broad safety
practices recommended for safe golf car operations. Before operation, the controlling party should establish such
additional specific safety practices as may be reasonably required for safe operations.
Experience has shown that golf cars which comply with the provisions stated in Part II of this Standard are safe when
properly operated in accordance with the safety and operation warnings affixed to every golf car. The safe operation is
enhanced when the golf cars are operated within a specific set of operation instructions, safety rules and practices
established to meet actual operating terrain and conditions.
The safety information contained in Part II is intended to provide the controlling party with basic safety information and
to encourage the controlling party to implement a golf car safety program.
It is suggested and recommended that Part II be reprinted in the golf car manufacturer’s operation and service manuals
to encourage safe operations and practices at the controlling party’s facility.
Safety Survey
The controlling party shall perform a safety survey periodically, and as conditions warrant to their premises, to identify
areas where golf cars should not be operated and to identify possible hazards.
1 - 6
SAFETY
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
Steep Grade
In areas where steep grades exist, golf car operations should be restricted to the designated golf car pathways where
possible, and shall be identified with a suitable warning giving the following information: “Warning, steep grade,
descend slowly with one foot on brake.”
Wet Areas
Wet grassy areas may cause a golf car to lose traction and may affect stability. Wet areas shall be chained or roped off
to prevent golf car operations or be identified by a suitable warning not to operate golf cars in this area due to wet
terrain.
Sharp Turns, Blind Corners, Bridge Approaches
Sharp turns, blind spots, bridge approaches and other potentially hazardous areas shall be either chained or roped off
to prevent golf car operations or identified with a suitable warning to the operator of the nature of the hazard and stating
the proper precautions to be taken to avoid the hazard.
Loose Terrain
Loose terrain may cause a golf car to lose traction and may affect stability. Areas of loose terrain should be repaired if
possible, or chained or roped off to prevent golf car operation or identified by a suitable warning to operators not to
operate golf cars in this area due to loose terrain or possible hazardous conditions.
1
Golf Car/P edestrian Interference Areas
Areas where pedestrians and golf cars interfere shall be avoided whenever possible by rerouting the golf car traffic or
the pedestrian traffic to eliminate the interference. If elimination of the interference is not possible or is highly
impractical, signs shall be erected warning pedestrians of the golf car traffic and golf car operators of the pedestrian
traffic and to drive slowly and use extreme caution.
MAINTENANCE
Introduction
Golf cars may become hazardous if maintenance is neglected or improperly performed. Therefore maintenance
facilities, trained personnel and procedures in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations should be
provided by the controlling party.
Preventive Maintenance
A regularly scheduled inspection and preventive maintenance program in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations should be established. Such a program will be a valuable tool in providing the golfing patron with a
safe, properly operating golf car and thereby help to avoid accidents.
Personnel
Only qualified, trained and authorized personnel shall be permitted to inspect, adjust and maintain golf cars.
Parts and Materials
Only manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts and materials shall be used.

Ventilation
1
Maintenance and storage areas shall be properly ventilated to avoid fire hazards in accordance with applicable fire
codes and ordinances.
Ventilation for gasoline powered golf cars shall be provided to remove flammable vapors, fumes and other flammable
materials. Consult applicable fire codes for specific levels of ventilation.
Ventilation for electric powered golf cars shall be provided to remove the accumulation of flammable hydrogen
gas emitted during the charging process. The amount of hydrogen gas emitted depends upon a number of factors
such as the condition of the batteries, the output rate of the battery charger and the amount of time the batteries are on
charge. Hydrogen emissions are generally considered to be in the area of 10 to 20 cubic liters per car per charge.
Because of the highly volatile nature of hydrogen gas and its propensity to rise and accumulate at the ceiling in pockets,
a minimum of 5 air changes per hour is recommended. The controlling party shall consult applicable fire and safety
codes for the specific ventilation levels required as well as the use of explosion proof electrical apparatus.
Maintenance Procedures
All maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance procedures as
outlined in the manufacturer’s operation and service manuals.
Maintenance Safety Procedures
All maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended safety procedures as
outlined in the manufacturer’s operation and service manuals. The following list of recommended safety procedures are
general in nature and in no way supersede the manufacturer’s specific instructions.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for immobilizing golf car before beginning any maintenance.
Block chassis before working underneath golf car.
Before disconnecting any part of the fuel system, drain the system and turn all shut off valves to the ‘OFF’ position to
prevent leakage or accumulation of flammable fuels in the work area.
Avoid fire hazards and have fire protection equipment available.
Before performing any maintenance on an electric golf car, disable the electrical system in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use only properly insulated tools when working on electrically powered golf cars or around batteries.
Brakes, steering mechanisms, warning devices, governors and all other safety devices shall be inspected and
maintained in a safe and proper operating condition and shall not be modified as supplied by the manufacturer.
After each maintenance or repair the golf car shall be driven by qualified, trained and authorized personnel to ensure
proper operation and adjustment.
Driving golf car to check for proper operation and adjustment after repair shall be performed in an area that is free of
vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Record all maintenance performed in a maintenance record log by date, name of person performing maintenance and
type of maintenance. Controlling party management should periodically inspect maintenance log to ensure currency
