Yamaha golf cars are designed to be simple to operate. However, be sure to observe the following:
BEFORE OPERATING THE GOLF CAR
Read this Owner’s/Operator’s man-
ual and all safety and instruction labels on the golf car before operat­ing.
Perform the pre-operation checks
found in Section 6 of this manual.
Only authorized people should
drive the golf car, from the driver’s side only, and only in designated areas.
Do not allow more than two people
to ride in the golf car. This golf car is restricted to two occupants.
Do not operate the golf car while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs; their affect on vision and judgment make operating a golf car dangerous.
Do not operate the golf car on pub-
lic streets, roads or highways. Such use is prohibited by law, and dan­gerous. Operation on public roads can result in collision with other vehicles.
WHILE OPERATING THE GOLF CAR
Keep your entire body inside the

GOLF COURSE SAFETY PROGRAM
Like all machines, golf cars can cause injury if improperly used or maintained. This section contains broad safety practices required for safe golf car operation. Before golf cars are operated, golf course per­sonnel should establish any addition­al safety practices that may be required for safe operation.
Experience has shown that golf cars are safe when operated in accor­dance with the safety warnings affixed to every golf car. This safe operation is enhanced when golf cars are used according to the safety rules and practices established to meet the terrain and conditions of the course they are used on.
The information contained here is intended for golf course personnel responsible for golf car safety. If you are responsible for the operation and maintenance of this golf car, we encourage you to implement this golf car safety program.
Do Not Operate Golf Cars When Under The Influence Of Alcohol Or Drugs
GOLF COURSE SAFETY SURVEY
Perform safety surveys regularly to identify hazardous areas where golf cars should not be operated.
GOLF COURSE HAZARD PREVENTION
The following golf course hazards must be made safe:
Steep Grades. Where steep
grades exist, restrict golf cars to designated golf car pathways where possible. In addition, identify steep grades with a suitable warn­ing like:
Warning: Steep Grade, Descend Slowly With Foot On Brake

DRIVER QUALIFICATIONS
Allow only authorized people to oper­ate golf cars. It is recommended that only people who possess a valid motor vehicle driver’s license be allowed to operate golf cars.
Place operation and safety instruc­tions recommended by the golf car manufacturer, along with the golf course safety rules, in a conspicuous place near the golf car rental area or golf car pick-up area. It is also rec­ommended that the following warning be posted in a conspicuous location:
G22A
Sharp Turns, Blind Corners,
Bridge Approaches. Chain or rope off these potentially haz­ardous areas or identify them with a suitable warning describing the nature of the hazard and the prop­er precautions to be taken to avoid the hazard.
Wet Areas. Wet grass may cause
a golf car to lose traction and may affect stability. Chain or rope off wet areas or identify wet areas with a suitable warning.

cause a golf car to lose traction and may affect stability. Repair loose terrain, chain or rope off these areas, or identify loose terrain with a suitable warning.
Golf Car and Pedestrian Interfer-
ence. Reroute golf car traffic or pedestrian traffic in congested areas wherever possible to prevent accidents. If it is impractical to reroute traffic, erect warning signs to warn pedestrians of golf car traf­fic, and to warn golf car operators to drive slowly, use caution, and watch for pedestrians.
MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FOR GOLF CAR SAFETY
7
Practice the following to help ensure the safety of golf car operators:
Parts and Materials. Use only
replacement parts and materials recommended by the manufacturer.
Ventilation. Properly ventilate all
maintenance and storage areas in accordance with applicable fire codes and ordinances to avoid fire hazards. Ventilation is required to remove flammable vapors and fumes from gasoline powered car storage areas. Ventilation is also required to remove hydrogen gas from the car storage areas during the battery charging process.
8
Preventative Maintenance. Per-
form all scheduled maintenance in accordance with manufacturer’s
9
10
recommendations to provide the golfing patron with a safe, properly operating golf car.
Personnel. Allow only qualified,
trained, and authorized personnel to inspect, adjust, and maintain golf cars.

When performing maintenance, fol­low all safety instructions contained in the manufacturer’s operation and service manuals, as well as the fol­lowing safety procedures:
Properly immobilize golf car before
beginning any maintenance.
Properly block chassis before
working underneath golf car.
Before disconnecting any part of
the fuel system, drain the applica­ble part of the system to prevent fuel leaks.
Avoid fire hazards, and have
appropriate fire protection equip­ment available.
Before working on an electric golf
car, disable the car’s electrical sys­tem in accordance with the manu­facturer’s instructions.
Record all maintenance performed
in a maintenance record log by date, name of person performing maintenance, and type of mainte­nance. Periodically inspect mainte­nance log to ensure accurate and complete entries.
Provide operator comment cards to
assist in identifying non-periodic maintenance needs for specific golf cars.
Maintain in a legible condition all
nameplates, warnings, and instruc­tions provided by the manufacturer.
If new nameplates, warnings, or
instructions are needed, contact your Yamaha dealer.

Use only properly insulated tools
when working on electrically pow­ered golf cars or around batteries.
Maintain all safety devices includ-
ing brakes, steering mechanisms, warning devices, and governors, in a safe operating condition. Do not modify these safety devices as supplied by the manufacturer.
After each maintenance or repair,
the car must be driven by a quali­fied, trained, and authorized per­son – in an area free of pedestrian traffic – to ensure proper operation and adjustment.
G22A
Supervise the storage and han-
dling of liquid fuels in accordance with applicable fire and safety requirements.
Only use battery changing and

DRAINING FUEL
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explosive.
Do not smoke when draining fuel
and keep away from sparks, flames, or other sources of igni­tion.
Stop engine and allow it to cool
for several minutes before drain­ing fuel.
Drain fuel in a well-ventilated
area.
Take care not to spill gasoline. If
gasoline spills, wipe it up imme­diately with dry rags. Always dis­pose of gasoline-soaked rags properly.
Tighten the filler cap securely
after checking fuel level.
If you inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get immediate medical attention.
If any gasoline gets on your skin,
immediately wash with soap and water. Change clothing if gaso­line spills on it.

ENGINE PREPARATION
With the key removed and the spark plug lead disconnected, turn the clutch by hand until compression is felt. This puts the valves in the closed position.
CHASSIS PREPARATION
1. Increase the tire pressure to 20 psi (137 kPa, 1.4 kgf/cm2).
2. Clean exterior of the golf car and apply a rust inhibitor.
3. Cover the golf car with a breath­able cover and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area.
BATTERY PREPARATION
1. Remove the battery from the golf car and store it in a cool, dry place that stays between 32˚F (0˚C) and 90˚F (30˚C).
2. Have the battery recharged every 60-90 days to keep it fully charged. The battery must be kept fully charged to avoid dam­age.
Batteries like the one supplied with your car normally do not require you to check the water level inside the battery for the one year warranty period provided by the manufacturer.
3. Clean the top of the battery with
a solution of baking soda and water, as necessary, to remove corrosion.
Do not allow cleaning solution to enter battery cells.
