• support the vehicle using wheel chocks and jack stands, NEVER get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack,
lift the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
• maintain the vehicle in an area away from exposed flame or persons who are smoking
• be aware that a vehicle that is not performing as designed is a potential hazard and must not be operated
• test drive the vehicle after any repairs or maintenance in a safe area that is free of both vehicular and pedestrian
traffic
• keep complete records of the maintenance history of the vehicle
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.
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
water heaters and furnaces.
Always use a dedicated circuit for each battery charger. Do not permit other appliances to be plugged into the
receptacle 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).
GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES
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
additional 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.
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.
