SAFETY INFORMATION
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 local regulating
authority.
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:
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.
• 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.

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.
• 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 area always reduce speed, drive slowly, use
caution and watch for pedestrians.

SAFETY INFORMATION
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 battery, do not smoke, or al-
low any sparks or open flames near the vehicle, to
avoid any fires or explosions.
• Before working on an electric PTV, disable the car’s
electrical system in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s instructions to avoid electrical shock or
damage to the electrical system.
• Use only properly insulated tools when working on
electrically powered PTVs or around batteries to
avoid electrical shock or damage to the electrical
system.
• Do not open battery case. The battery has no user
serviceable parts.
• 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, warn-
ings and instructions provided by the manufacturer.
