SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DURING MAINTENANCE
When performing maintenance, follow
all safety instructions contained in the
manufacturer’s operation and service
manuals, as well as the following
safety procedures:
l Properly immobilize golf car before
beginning any maintenance to avoid
any unexpected vehicle movement.
l Properly block chassis before
working underneath golf car to
avoid any unexpected vehicle
movement.
l When working on the battery, do
not smoke, or allow any sparks or
open flames near the vehicle, to
avoid any fires or explosions.
l Before working on an electric golf
car, disable the car’s electrical
system in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions to avoid
electrical shock or damage to the
electrical system.
l Use only properly insulated tools
when working on electrically
powered golf cars or around
batteries to avoid electrical shock or
damage to the electrical system.
l Maintain all safety devices including
brakes, steering mechanisms,
warning devices and governors, in a
safe operating condition. Do not
modify these safety devices as
supplied by the manufacturer.
l After each maintenance or repair,
the car must be driven by a
qualified, trained and authorized
person – in an area free of
pedestrian traffic – to ensure proper
operation and adjustment.
l Record all maintenance performed
in a maintenance record log by
date, name of person performing
maintenance and type of
maintenance. Periodically inspect
maintenance log to ensure
accurate and complete entries.
l Provide operator comment cards
to assist in identifying non-periodic
maintenance needs for specific
golf cars.
l Maintain in a legible condition all
nameplates, warnings and
instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
l If new nameplates, warnings or
instructions are needed, contact
your Yamaha Golf-Car Company
dealer.
