•
Keep a clear view of the path of travel. Observe other traffic and pedestri-
ans, and maintain a safe distance, based on speed of travel, from a vehicle
ahead.
Driving on hilly terrain
•
Ascend or descend grades slowly.
•
Do not turn around when driving on a sharp incline or decline. Be careful
when driving near to the edge of the slope.
Parking safety tips
•
Park the cart on flat and solid ground.
•
Depress the brake pedal. Keeping the direction switch in neutral position,
turn off the ignition switch and take out the key. Make sure that the brake
pedal is locked in park. You will hear a load click when the parking brake
is engaged.
•
Keep the vehicle stored inside of a garage if possible. Don’t leave it outside
in snow or rain, as water can get into the electrical system which will cause
damage. Check with your local dealer about the advantages of a car cover
if you cannot park the vehicle in a garage, car port, or similar covering.
New Vehicle Inspection
Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items shown below must be per-
formed.
1. Check status of each spare part, especially the nut on the steering wheel
and braking system.
2. Check for any leakage problems with the steering system, turning system
and transaxle.
3. Check the water level of each battery. Maintain proper levels (see Trojan
battery guide) and
do not overfill battery cells
.
4. Check if tire inflation is correct. Low pressure will lead to difficulty turning
and bumpy riding. Keep the normal air pressure for the tire to prevent pre-
mature wear. Recommended tire pressure is 30 PSI.
5. Check for any worn items between the wiring and other locations where
parts rub against each other.
