found in Section 6 of this manual.
G Only authorized people should

areas.
G Do not allow more than two
occupants per seat. This golf car is
restricted to two occupants unless
equipped with a rear seat.
G 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.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
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.
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:
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:
G 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:
Steep Grade, Descend Slowly
With Foot On Brake
G 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.
G Wet Areas. Wet grass may cause
a golf car to lose traction and may
affect stability. Reduce speed in
wet areas or during periods of
inclement weather.

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.
G Golf Car and Pedestrian
Interference. 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:
8
G Preventative Maintenance.
Perform all scheduled
maintenance in accordance with
9
manufacturer’s recommendations
to provide the golfing patron with a
safe, properly operating golf car.
G Parts and Materials. Use only
replacement parts and materials
recommended by the manufacturer.
G 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.
For electric powered golf cars, the
amount of hydrogen gas emitted
during charging depends on 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. 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. Consult applicable
fire and safety codes for the specific
ventilation levels requirement, as
well as requirements for the use of
explosion proof electrical apparatus.
G Personnel. Allow only qualified,
10
trained, and authorized personnel
to inspect, adjust, and maintain
golf cars.
