SAFE OWNERSHIP OF ACG ELECTRIC VEHICLES
ACG
pure battery electric vehicles are different from vehicles you might be
accustomed to owning. Special precautions should be followed when owning and
operating an
ACG
vehicle.
Please read this “
Owner’s Manual
” and pay particular attention to the “
Cautions
”
and “
Warnings
” in this Manual, as well as those placed on the vehicle in various
locations.
In general,
ACG Golf Carts
are designed and are intended only for use at low
speed, up to 15 mph, and are not intended for use on public roads.
Specific to
ACG
vehicles, the following safe habits should always be followed:
•
ACG
vehicles are open vehicles. For this reason, safety belts should always be
worn by all occupants to prevent being thrown from the vehicle during operation.
If your ACG is equipped with optional canvas or plastic doors, these were designed
and are intended only to keep wind and water out of the vehicle and should not be
relied upon to keep occupants in the vehicle or to protect them in case of collision.
•
ACG
vehicles are not designed to meet any collision or roll-over requirements.
Therefore, you should always drive your
ACG
vehicle in a safe manner while being
alert to potential dangerous situations around you. As with all motor vehicles, never
drink alcohol and attempt to drive an
ACG
vehicle.
• Operate an
ACG
vehicle only on Golf courses or private roads where the speed
limits are appropriate for low speed vehicles and the traffic is light.
(individual state laws vary, so check with your DMV)
• You should never operate an
ACG
vehicle so that you are an obstacle and
become an annoyance for faster moving traffic.
•
ACG
vehicles are designed to be recharged from a standard 120 VAC-15 Ampere
electrical outlet that is ground-fault protected. Charging from a circuit of lesser
capacity and/or using a cord from the outlet to the
ACG
vehicle that is not sufficient
in wire gauge (AWG) could create a fire hazard.
Please consult “
Charging Procedures Manual
” for the proper extension cord
gauge which depends on its length.
