SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
l
Loose Terrain
– Avoid areas of
loose terrain which may cause a
PTV to lose traction and affect
stability. Take notice of conditions
and reduce speed when driving on
uneven or loose terrain.
l
Pedestrian Areas
– Avoid areas
with pedestrian traffic or congested
areas whenever possible to pre-
vent accidents. If it is impractical to
avoid these areas, always remem-
ber that pedestrians have the right
of way. When approaching pedes-
trian or congested areas always
reduce speed, drive slowly, use
caution and watch for pedestrians.
MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED FOR PTV
SAFETY
Practice the following to help ensure
the safety of PTV occupants:
l
Preventative Maintenance.
Per-
form all scheduled maintenance in
accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendations to provide a
safe, properly operating PTV.
l
Personnel.
Allow only qualified,
trained and authorized personnel
to inspect, adjust and maintain
PTVs.
l
Parts and Materials.
Use only
replacement parts and materials
recommended by the manufactur-
er.
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 flammable vapors and
fumes from gasoline powered PTV
storage areas. Ventilation is also
required to remove hydrogen gas
from the PTV storage areas during
the battery charging process.
