l
Wet Areas . Wet grass may cause
a golf car to lose traction and may
affect stability. Golf car operators
should reduce speed in wet areas
or during periods of inclement
weather.
l
Loose Terrain . Loose terrain may
cause a golf car to lose traction
and may affect stability. Repair
loose terrain, chain or rope off
these areas, or identify loose
terrain with a suitable warning.
l
Golf Car and Pedestrian
Interference
. Reroute golf car
traffic or pedestrian traffic in
congested areas wherever possible
to prevent accidents. If it is
impractical to reroute traffic, erect
warning signs to warn pedestrians
of golf car traffic, and to warn golf
car operators to drive slowly, use
caution, and watch for pedestrians.
MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED FOR GOLF
CAR SAFETY
Practice the following to help ensure
the safety of golf car operators:
l
Preventative Maintenance .
Perform all scheduled
maintenance in accordance with
manufacturer’s recommendations
to provide the golfing patron with a
safe, properly operating golf car.
l
Personnel . Allow only qualified,
trained, and authorized personnel
to inspect, adjust and maintain golf
cars.
l
Parts and Materials . Use only
replacement parts and materials
recommended by the manufacturer.
l
Ventilation . Properly ventilate all
maintenance and storage areas in
accordance with applicable fire
codes and ordinances to avoid fire
hazards. Ventilation is required to
remove hydrogen gas from the car
storage areas during the battery
charging process.
For electric powered golf cars, the
amount of hydrogen gas emitted
during charging depends on a
number of factors, such as the
condition of the batteries, the output
rate of the battery charger, and the
amount of time the batteries are on
charge. Because of the highly
volatile nature of hydrogen gas and
its propensity to rise and accumulate
at the ceiling in pockets, a minimum
of 5 air changes per hour is
recommended. Consult applicable
fire and safety codes for the specific
ventilation levels requirement, as
well as requirements for the use of
explosion proof electrical apparatus.
