Yamaha golf cars 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 GOLF CAR
lRead this Owner’s/Operator’s
manual and all safety and instruction
labels on the golf car before
operating.
lPerform the pre-operation checks
found in Section 5 of this manual.
lOnly authorized people should drive
the golf car, from the driver’s side
only, and only in designated areas.
lDo not allow more than two
occupants per seat. This golf car is
restricted to two occupants, unless
equipped with a rear seat.
lDo not operate the golf car while
under the influence of alcohol or
drugs; their effect on vision and
judgment make operating a golf car
dangerous.
lDo not operate the golf car on
public streets, roads or highways;
unless allowed by law or the local
regulating authority.
WHILE OPERATING THE
GOLF CAR
lKeep your entire body inside the
golf car, remain seated, and hold on
when the car is in motion.
lDo not start the golf car until all
occupants are seated.
lKeep your hands on the steering
wheel and your eyes on the path
ahead.

loose terrain which may cause a golf
car to lose traction and affect
stability. 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

watch for pedestrians.
MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED FOR GOLF
CAR SAFETY
Practice the following to help ensure
the safety of golf car occupants:

form all scheduled maintenance in
accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendations to provide a
safe, properly operating golf car.
lPersonnel. Allow only qualified,

accordance with applicable fire
codes and ordinances to avoid fire
hazards. Ventilation is required to
remove flammable vapors and
fumes from gasoline powered golf
car storage areas. Ventilation is
also required to remove hydrogen
gas from the golf car storage areas
during the battery charging
process.
