manufacturer. Adherence to these procedures and troubleshooting tips will ensure the best possible service from the

product. To reduce the chance of personal injury or property damage, the following must be carefully observed:

Certain replacement parts can be used independently and/or in combination with other accessories to modify an E-

Z-GO-manufactured vehicle to permit the vehicle to operate at or in excess of 20 mph. When an E-Z-GO-manufac-

tured vehicle is modified an any way by the Distributor, Dealer or customer to operate at or in excess of 20mph,

UNDER FEDERAL LAW the modified product will be a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) subject to the strictures and

requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 571.500. In these instances, pursuant to Federal law the Dis-

tributor or Dealer MUST equip the product with headlights, rear lights, turn signals, seat belts, top, horn and all other

modifications for LSV’s mandated in FMVSS 571.500, and affix a Vehicle Identification Number to the product in

accordance with the requirements of FMVSS 571.565. Pursuant to FMVSS 571.500, and in accordance with the

State laws applicable in the places of sale and use of the product, the Distributor, Dealer or customer modifying the

vehicle also will be the Final Vehicle Manufacturer for the LSV, and required to title or register the vehicle as man-

dated by State law.

E-Z-GO will NOT approve Distributor, Dealer or customer modifications converting E-Z-GO products into LSV’s.

The Company recommends that all E-Z-GO products sold as personal transportation vehicles BE OPERATED ONLY

BY PERSONS WITH VALID DRIVERS LICENSES, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE REQUIRE-

MENTS. This restriction is important to the SAFE USE AND OPERATION of the product.

All customers should adhere to this SAFETY RESTRICTION, in connection with the use of all E-Z-GO products, new

and used, the Distributor or Dealer has reason to believe may be operated in personal transportation applications.

Information on FMVSS 571.500 can be obtained at Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 571.500, or

GENERAL

All vehicles can be used for a variety of tasks beyond the original intended use of the vehicle; therefore, it is impossible

to anticipate and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur. No warning can take

replace good common sense and prudent driving practices.

Good common sense and prudent driving practices do more to prevent accidents and injury than all of the warnings

and instructions combined. E-Z-GO strongly suggests that all users and maintenance personnel read this entire man-

ual paying particular attention to the CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS contained therein.

If you have any questions regarding this vehicle, contact your E-Z-GO dealer or write to the address on the back cover

of this publication, Attention: Customer Care Department.

E-Z-GO reserves the right to make design changes without obligation to make these changes on units previously sold.

The information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.
