E-Z-GO 602080 - Manual (Page 63)

Check area behind the
vehicle before operating
in reverse.
Make sure the direction selector is in correct position
before attempting to start the vehicle.
Slow down before and during turns. All turns should
be executed at reduced speed.
Always bring vehicle to a complete stop before
shifting the direction selector.
See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle load and
seating capacity.
Read and understand the following text and
warnings before attempting to service vehicle:
In any product, components will eventually fail to perform
properly as the result of normal use, age, wear or abuse.
It is virtually impossible to anticipate all possible compo-
nent failures or the manner in which each component
may fail.
Be aware that a vehicle requiring repair indicates that the
vehicle is no longer functioning as designed and there-
fore should be considered potentially hazardous. Use
extreme care when working on any vehicle. When diag-
nosing, removing or replacing any components that are
not operating correctly, take time to consider the safety of
yourself and others around you should the component
move unexpectedly.
Some components are heavy, spring loaded, highly cor-
rosive, explosive or may produce high amperage or
reach high temperatures. Gasoline, carbon monoxide,
battery acid and hydrogen gas could result in serious
bodily injury to the technician/mechanic and bystanders if
not treated with the utmost caution. Be careful not to
place hands, face, feet or body in a location that could
expose them to injury should an unforeseen situation
occur.
Always use the appropriate tools listed in the tool list and
wear approved safety equipment.
To prevent personal
injury or death, observe
the following:
Before working on the vehicle, remove all jewelry
(rings, watches, necklaces, etc.)
Be sure that no loose clothing or hair can contact
moving parts.
Use care not to touch hot objects.
Raise entire vehicle and support on jack stands before
attempting to run or adjust powertrain.
Wear eye protection when working on or around
vehicle. In particular, use care when working around
batteries, using solvents or compressed air.
Hydrogen gas is formed when charging batteries. Do
not charge batteries without adequate ventilation.
Do not permit open flame or anyone to smoke in an
area that is being used for charging batteries. A
concentration of 4% hydrogen gas or more is
explosive.
Engine exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) is deadly.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that is
formed as a natural part of incomplete combustion of
hydrocarbon fuels. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous
gas that can cause unconsciousness and is
potentially lethal.
The following are symptoms of carbon monoxide
inhalation:
• Dizziness
• Vomiting
• Intense headache
• Muscular twitching
• Weakness and sleepiness
• Throbbing in temples
If any of these symptoms are experienced, get fresh air
immediately. Never work around or operate a vehicle
in an environment that does not ventilate exhaust
gases from the area.
