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

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.

can result in collision with other
vehicles.

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:

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.

● Golf Car and Pedestrian Interfer-
ence. Reroute golf car traffic or
pedestrian traffic in congested
areas wherever possible to prevent
