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 fuel system or
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

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.

Record all maintenance performed
in a maintenance record log by
date, name of person performing
maintenance, and type of
maintenance. Periodically inspect

accurate and complete entries.

Provide operator comment cards
to assist in identifying non-periodic
maintenance needs for specific
golf cars.

Maintain in a legible condition all
nameplates, warnings, and
instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
