SAFETY
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.
GENERAL
The following text is provided as recommended by part II of ANSI/NGCMA 130.1-2004. EZGO, as a member of the
National Golf Car Manufacturer’s Association (NGCMA), strongly endorses the content of this specification.
PART II: MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
5 General safety practices
5.1 Introduction
Like other vehicles, golf cars can cause injury if improperly used or maintained. Part II contains broad safety practices
recommended for safe golf car operations. Before operation, the controlling party should establish such additional spe-
cific safety practices as may be reasonably required for safe operations.
Experience has shown that golf cars that comply with the provisions stated in Part III of this standard are safe when
properly operated in accordance with the safety and operation warnings affixed to every golf car. 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 enable the controlling party to implement a golf car safety pro-
gram. 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.
5.2 Safety survey
The controlling party shall perform a safety survey of its premises periodically, and as conditions warrant, identify areas
where golf cars should not be operated and possible hazards exist. See, for example, 5.2.1. See also NGCMA Golf
Course Safety Guidelines and NGCMA Golf Car Storage Facility Safety Guidelines.
5.2.1 Grades
All grades shall be descended at a reduced speed. Excessive speed while descending grades adversely affects the
stability of the golf car and its ability to stop. In areas where steep grades exist, golf car operations should be restricted
to designated golf car paths and roads where possible. Steep grades shall be identified with a suitable warning giving
the following information: "Warning, steep hill, apply brake to limit speed." Avoid parking on steep hills. Avoid sharp
turns on grades. Provide flat surface parking areas adjacent to golf car paths on steep grades.
5.2.2 Wet areas or icy terrain
Extreme caution should be used when driving on wet or icy terrain. Wet grassy areas or ice may cause a golf car to
lose traction and may affect operator control. Wet or icy areas should be chained or roped off to prevent golf car oper-
ations or be identified by a suitable warning to operators not to operate golf cars in that area.
5.2.3 Sharp turns, blind corners, bridge approaches
All turns shall be negotiated at a reduced speed. Negotiating a turn can affect the stability and control of a golf car,
causing loads and passengers to shift. Sharp turns, blind spots, bridge approaches, and other potentially hazardous
areas shall be closed off to prevent golf car operation or shall be identified with a suitable warning to the operator of the
nature of the hazard, stating the proper precautions to be taken to avoid the hazard.
5.2.4 Loose terrain
Extreme caution shall be used when driving in areas of loose terrain. Loose terrain, for example, sand or gravel, can
cause a golf car to lose traction and may affect stability. Areas of loose terrain should be repaired if possible, or closed
off to prevent golf car operation, or identified by a suitable warning to operators not to operate golf cars in those areas.
