tured vehicle is modified an any way by the Distributor, Dealer or customer to operate at or in excess of 20mph, 
UNDER FEDERAL LAW the modified product will be a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) subject to the strictures and 
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 571.500. In these instances, pursuant to Federal law the Dis-
tributor or Dealer MUST equip the product with headlights, rear lights, turn signals, seat belts, top, horn and all other 
modifications for LSV’s mandated in FMVSS 571.500, and affix a Vehicle Identification Number to the product in 
accordance with the requirements of FMVSS 571.565. Pursuant to FMVSS 571.500, and in accordance with the 
State laws applicable in the places of sale and use of the product, the Distributor, Dealer or customer modifying the 
vehicle also will be the Final Vehicle Manufacturer for the LSV, and required to title or register the vehicle as man-
dated by State law.

E-Z-GO will NOT approve Distributor, Dealer or customer modifications converting E-Z-GO products into LSV’s.

The Company recommends that all E-Z-GO products sold as personal transportation vehicles BE OPERATED ONLY 
BY PERSONS WITH VALID DRIVERS LICENSES, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE REQUIRE-
MENTS. This restriction is important to the SAFE USE AND OPERATION of the product. 

All customers should adhere to this SAFETY RESTRICTION, in connection with the use of all E-Z-GO products, new 
and used, the Distributor or Dealer has reason to believe may be operated in personal transportation applications.

Information on FMVSS 571.500 can be obtained at Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 571.500, or 
through the Internet at the web site for the U.S. Department of Transportation - at Dockets and Regulation, then to Title 
49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Transportation).

All vehicles can be 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 warning can take 
replace 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. E-Z-GO strongly suggests that all users and maintenance personnel read this entire man-
ual paying particular attention to the CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS contained therein.

If you have any questions regarding this vehicle, contact your E-Z-GO/CUSHMAN dealer or write to the address on the 
back cover of this publication, Attention: Customer Care Department.

E-Z-GO reserves the right to make design changes without obligation to make these changes on units previously sold. 
The information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.

E-Z-GO IS NOT LIABLE FOR ERRORS IN THIS MANUAL. E-Z-GO IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSE-
QUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE MATERIAL IN THIS MANUAL.

This vehicle conforms to the current applicable standard(s) for safety and performance requirements.

These vehicles are designed and manufactured for off-road use. They DO NOT conform to Federal Motor Vehicle 
Safety Standards of the United States of America (USA) 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 or extend the stopping distance beyond the factory specifica-
tion. Such modifications can result in serious personal injury or death.

 Do not make any such modifications or changes. E-Z-GO prohibits and disclaims responsibility for all such modifica-
tions or and alterations 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
