Yamaha PTVs are designed to be simple to operate.
However, be sure to observe the following to reduce
the risk of serious injury or death due to loss of control
and other hazards:
BEFORE OPERATING THE PTV
• Read this Owner’s/Operator’s manual and all safety
and instruction labels on the PTV before operating.
• Perform the pre-operation checks found in Section
5 of this manual.
• Only authorized people should drive the PTV, from
the driver’s side only, and only in designated areas.
• Do not allow more than two occupants per seat.
This PTV is restricted to two occupants, unless
equipped with a rear seat.
• Do not operate the PTV while under the influence
of alcohol or drugs; their effect on vision and judg-
ment make operating a PTV dangerous.
• Do not operate the PTV on public streets, roads or
highways; unless allowed by law or the local regu-
lating authority.
WHILE OPERATING THE PTV
• Keep your entire body inside the PTV, remain seat-
ed, and hold on when the car is in motion.
• Do not start the PTV until all occupants are seated.
• Keep your hands on the steering wheel and your
eyes on the path ahead.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Use extra care in congested areas or when backing
up. Always back up slowly, and watch carefully.
• Avoid starting or stopping abruptly.
• Vary the speed of the PTV to match the terrain.
• Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply at
higher speeds to avoid tipping or rolling the vehicle.
• Always drive slowly straight up or straight down
slopes – never at an angle to avoid tipping or rolling
the vehicle.
• Do not run the engine indoors. Exhaust gas is poi-
sonous and could result in carbon monoxide poi-
soning.
• Do not make any modification or addition which
affects capacity or safe operation, or make any
changes not in accordance with the owner’s/oper-
ator’s manual.

Like all machines, PTVs can cause injury if improperly
used or maintained.
Experience has shown that PTVs are safe when op-
erated in accordance with the safety warnings affixed
to every PTV.
DRIVER QUALIFICATIONS
Allow only authorized people to operate PTV. It is rec-
ommended that only people who possess a valid mo-
tor vehicle driver’s license be allowed to operate PTV.
Do not operate PTVs when under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Death or serious personal injury
can result from failing to comply with the safety
and warning instructions affixed to the PTV.
WARNING
HAZARD PREVENTION
Drivers should be mindful of road hazards, and avoid
dangerous situations that may include the following:
• Steep Grades – Where steep grades exist, restrict
PTV to designated roadway or path, and descend
slowly with foot on the brake.
Descend steep grades slowly with foot on brake.
Death or serious personal injury can result from
failing to comply with the safety and warning in-
structions affixed to the PTV.
• Sharp Turns, Blind Corners and Bridge Ap-
proaches – Adhere to all warning signs and take
proper precautions to avoid the hazard.
• Wet Areas – Wet grass may cause a PTV to lose
traction and may affect stability. Vehicle operators
should reduce speed in wet areas or during periods
of inclement weather.

• Loose Terrain – Avoid areas of loose terrain which
may cause a PTV to lose traction and affect sta-
bility. Take notice of conditions and reduce speed
when driving on uneven or loose terrain.
• Pedestrian Areas – Avoid areas with pedestrian
traffic or congested areas whenever possible to
prevent accidents. If it is impractical to avoid these
areas, always remember that pedestrians have the
right of way. When approaching pedestrian or con-
gested areas always reduce speed, drive slowly,
use caution and watch for pedestrians.
MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FOR PTV
SAFETY
Practice the following to help ensure the safety of PTV
occupants:
• Preventative Maintenance. Perform all scheduled
maintenance in accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendations to provide a safe, properly op-
erating PTV.
• Personnel. Allow only qualified, trained, and au-
thorized personnel to inspect, adjust and maintain
PTVs.
• 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. Venti-
lation is required to remove flammable vapors and
fumes from gasoline powered PTV storage areas.
Ventilation is also required to remove hydrogen
gas from the PTV storage areas during the battery
charging process.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING
MAINTENANCE
When performing maintenance, follow all safety in-
structions contained in the manufacturer’s operation
and service manuals, as well as the following safety
procedures:
• Properly immobilize PTV before beginning any
maintenance to avoid any unexpected vehicle
movement.
• Properly block chassis before working underneath
PTV to avoid any unexpected vehicle movement.
• 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.
• Use only properly insulated tools when working
around batteries to avoid electrical shock or dam-
age to the electrical system.
• Maintain all safety devices including brakes, steer-
ing 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.
• Record all maintenance performed in a mainte-
nance record log by date, name of person perform-
ing maintenance and type of maintenance. Period-
ically inspect maintenance log to ensure accurate
and complete entries.
• Provide operator comment cards to assist in iden-
tifying non-periodic maintenance needs for specific
PTVs.
• Maintain, in a legible condition all nameplates,
warnings, and instructions provided by the manu-
facturer.
• If new nameplates, warnings or instructions are
needed, contact your Yamaha Golf-Car Company
