Page: 7 / 188

SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual has been designed to assist the owner-operator in maintaining the vehicle in accordance with procedures
developed by E-Z-GO. Adherence to these procedures and troubleshooting tips will ensure the best possible service
from the product. To reduce the chance of personal injury and/or property damage, the following instructions must be
carefully observed:
GENERAL
Many vehicles are 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 warnings can take the
place of 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 the owner-operator read this entire manual paying particular
attention to the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS contained therein. It is further recommended that employees and other
operators be encouraged to do the same.
If you have any questions, contact your closest E-Z-GO representative or write to the address on the back cover of this
publication, Attention: Product Service Department.
E-Z-GO Division of Textron reserves the right to make design changes without obligation to make these changes on
units previously sold and the information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.
E-Z-GO Division of Textron is not liable for errors in this manual or for incidental or consequential damages that result
from the use of the material in this manual.
This vehicle conforms to the current applicable standard 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 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.
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 beyond the factory specification. Such modifications can cause serious personal injury
or death. Modifications that increase the speed and/or weight of the vehicle will extend the stopping distance and may
reduce the stability of the vehicle. Do not make any such modifications or changes. E-Z-GO prohibits and disclaims
responsibility for any such modifications or any other alteration 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.
GENERAL OPERATION
Always use the vehicle in a responsible manner and maintain the vehicle in safe operating condition.
Always read and observe all warnings and operation instruction labels affixed to the vehicle.
Always follow all safety rules established in the area where the vehicle is being operated.
Always reduce speed to compensate for poor terrain or conditions.
Always apply service brake to control speed on steep grades.
