SAFETY
For any questions on material contained in this manual, contact an authorized representative for clarification.
Read and understand all labels located on the vehicle. Always replace any damaged or missing labels.
On steep hills it is possible for vehicles to coast at greater than normal speeds encountered on a flat surface. To pre-
vent loss of vehicle control and possible serious injury, speeds should be limited to no more than the maximum speed
on level ground. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS. Limit speed by applying the service brake.
Catastrophic damage to the drivetrain components due to excessive speed may result from driving the vehicle above
specified speed. Damage caused by excessive speed may cause a loss of vehicle control, is costly, is considered
abuse and will not be covered under warranty.
Use extra caution when towing the vehicle(s). Do not tow a single vehicle at speeds in excess of 12 mph (19 kph). Do
not tow more than three vehicles at a time. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 kph) while towing multiple vehicles. Towing the
vehicle at above the recommended speed may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle and other prop-
erty. Vehicles equipped with Precision Drive System™(PDS) must be towed with the Run-Tow/Maintenance switch,
located under the passenger seat, in the ‘Tow/Maintenance’ position.

GENERAL
Many vehicles are used for a variety of tasks beyond the original intended use of the vehicle; therefore it is impossible
to anticipate and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur. No warnings can take the
place of good common sense and prudent driving practices.
Good common sense and prudent driving practices do more to prevent accidents and injury than all of the warnings
and instructions combined. The manufacturer strongly suggests that the owner-operator read this entire manual paying
particular attention to the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS contained therein. It is further recommended that employees
and other operators be encouraged to do the same.
If you have any questions, contact your closest representative or write to the address on the back cover of this publica-
tion, Attention: Product Service Department.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make design changes without obligation to make these changes on units previ-
ously sold and the information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.
The manufacturer is not liable for errors in this manual or for incidental or consequential damages that result from the
use of the material in this manual.
This vehicle conforms to the current applicable standard for safety and performance requirements.

SAFETY INFORMATION
These vehicles are designed and manufactured for off-road use. They do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards and are not equipped for operation on public streets. Some communities may permit these vehicles to be
operated on their streets on a limited basis and in accordance with local ordinances.
With electric powered vehicles, be sure that all electrical accessories are grounded directly to the battery (-) post.
Never use the chassis or body as a ground connection.
Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle seating capacity.
Never modify the vehicle in any way that will alter the weight distribution of the vehicle, decrease its stability
or increase the speed beyond the factory specification. Such modifications can cause serious personal injury
or death. Modifications that increase the speed and/or weight of the vehicle will extend the stopping distance and may
reduce the stability of the vehicle. Do not make any such modifications or changes. The manufacturer prohibits and
disclaims responsibility for any such modifications or any other alteration which would adversely affect the safety of the
vehicle.
Vehicles that are capable of higher speeds must limit their speed to no more than the speed of other vehicles when
used in a golf course environment. Additionally, speed should be further moderated by the environmental conditions,
terrain and common sense.
Operation of the vehicle is limited to persons above the height of 59 inches (150 cm).
GENERAL OPERATION
Always use the vehicle in a responsible manner and maintain the vehicle in safe operating condition.
Always read and observe all warnings and operation instruction labels affixed to the vehicle.
Always follow all safety rules established in the area where the vehicle is being operated.
Always leave the vehicle when there is a risk of lightning.
Always reduce speed to compensate for poor terrain or conditions.
Always apply service brake to control speed on steep grades.
Always maintain adequate distance between vehicles.
Always reduce speed in wet areas.
Always use extreme caution when approaching sharp or blind turns.
Always use extreme caution when driving over loose terrain.
Always use extreme caution in areas where pedestrians are present.
MAINTENANCE
Always maintain your vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s periodic service schedule.
Always ensure that mechanics performing repairs are trained and qualified to do so.

Owner’s Manual and Service Guide Page vii
SAFETY INFORMATION
Always insulate any tools used within the battery area in order to prevent sparks or battery explosion caused by short-
ing the battery terminals or associated wiring. Remove the batteries or cover exposed terminals with an insulating
material.
Always check the polarity of each battery terminal and be sure to rewire the batteries correctly.
Always use specified replacement parts. Never use replacement parts of lesser quality.
Always use recommended tools.
Always determine that tools and procedures not specifically recommended by the manufacturer will not compromise
the safety of personnel nor jeopardize the safe operation of the vehicle.
Always support the vehicle using wheel chocks and safety stands. Never get under a vehicle that is supported by a
jack. Lift the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Never attempt to maintain a vehicle in an area where exposed flame is present or persons are smoking.
Always be aware that a vehicle that is not performing as designed is a potential hazard and must not be operated.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate all situations, therefore people attempting to maintain or repair the vehicle must
have the skill and experience to recognize and protect themselves from potential situations that could result in severe
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.
Always test drive the vehicle after any repairs or maintenance. All tests must be conducted in a safe area that is free of
both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Always replace damaged or missing warning, caution or information labels.
Always keep complete records of the maintenance history of the vehicle.
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
gas water heaters and furnaces.
Always use a dedicated circuit for each battery charger. Do not permit other appliances to be plugged into the recepta-
cle 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).

SAFETY INFORMATION
GENERAL
The following text is provided as recommended by part II of ANSI / GCMA Z130.1 - 1993. E-Z-GO, as a member of the
National Golf Car Manufacturers Association (NGCMA), strongly endorses the contents of this specification.
PART II
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
5. GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES
5.1. 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 addi-
tional 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.
5.2. 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.
5.2.1. 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.”
5.2.2. 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 ter-
rain.
5.2.3. Sharp Turns, Blind Corners, Bridge Approaches

Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Page xvi
SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
5.2.4. 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.
5.2.5. Golf Car/Pedestrian 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 impracti-
cal, 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.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1. Introduction
6.1.1. 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 pro-
vided by the controlling party.
6.2. Preventive Maintenance
A regularly scheduled inspection and preventive maintenance program in accordance with the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations 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.
6.2.1. Personnel
Only qualified, trained and authorized personnel shall be permitted to inspect, adjust and maintain golf cars.
6.2.2. Parts and Materials
Only manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts and materials shall be used.
6.2.3. Ventilation
Maintenance and storage areas shall be properly ventilated to avoid fire hazards in accordance with applicable fire
codes and ordinances.
6.2.3.1. 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.

Owner’s Manual and Service Guide Page xvii
SAFETY INFORMATION
6.2.3.2. Ventilation for electric powered golf cars shall be provided to remove the accumulation of flammable hydro-
gen 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 pock-
ets, 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.
6.2.4. 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.
6.2.5. Maintenance Safety Procedures
