l Wet Areas. Wet grass may cause
1 a golf car to lose traction and may
affect stability. Golf car operators
should reduce speed in wet areas
or during periods of inclement

l 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.
l 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.
JW1
l Record all maintenance performed
1
date, name of person performing
maintenance and type of

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DURING MAINTENANCE
When performing maintenance, follow
all safety instructions contained in the
manufacturers operation and service
manuals, as well as the following
safety procedures:
Properly immobilize golf car before
l
beginning any maintenance to avoid
any unexpected vehicle movement.
l Properly block chassis before
working underneath golf car to avoid
any unexpected vehicle movement.
Before disconnecting any part of the
fuel system, drain the applicable part
of the system to prevent fuel leaks.
When working on the fuel system or
the battery, do not smoke, or allow
any sparks or open flames near
the vehicle, to avoid any fires or
explosions.
Before performing any maintenance,
l
disable the cars electrical system in
accordance with the manufacturers
instructions.
l Use only properly insulated tools
when working on electrically
batteries to avoid electrical shock or
damage to the electrical system.
l 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.
l 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.
JW1
l Record all maintenance performed
1
date, name of person performing
maintenance and type of
maintenance log to ensure 2
accurate and complete entries.
l Provide operator comment cards
3
to assist in identifying non-periodic
maintenance needs for specific
golf cars.
l Maintain in a legible condition all 4
nameplates, warnings, and
instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
l If new nameplates, warnings or
5
instructions are needed, contact
your Yamaha Golf-Car Company
dealer. 6
FUEL HANDLING/
STORAGE AND 7
BATTERY CHARGING
Take the following precautions to 8
ensure maintenance worker safety:
l Supervise the storage and
handling of liquid fuels in
accordance with applicable fire
9
and safety requirements to avoid
any fires or explosions.
l Only use battery charging facilities 10
and procedures that are in
accordance with applicable
ordinances and regulations to 11
avoid explosions, electrical shock
or damage to the electrical system.
l Periodically inspect fueling to be
certain that applicable safety
codes, regulations and
procedures are being followed to
avoid any fires or explosions.

l Wet Areas. Wet grass may cause
1 a golf car to lose traction and may
affect stability. Golf car operators
should reduce speed in wet areas
or during periods of inclement
2 weather.
l Loose Terrain. Loose terrain may
cause a golf car to lose traction
3 and may affect stability. Repair
loose terrain, chain or rope off
these areas, or identify loose

l Golf Car and Pedestrian
Interference. Reroute golf car

congested areas wherever possible
to prevent accidents. If it is
impractical to reroute traffic, erect
