It is rec
25、ommended that Part II be reprinted in the golf car manufacturers operation and service manuals to encourage safe operation and practices at the controlling partys facility. 5 General safety practices 5.1 Introduction Like other vehicles, improper use or maintenance of golf cars may result in persona
26、l injury or death. This Part II contains broad safety practices recommended for safe golf car operations. Before operation, the controlling party should establish such additional specific safety practices as may be reasonably required for safe operations, for the intended use of the vehicle and appl
27、ication environment. Experience has shown that golf cars that comply with the provisions stated in Part III of this standard are safe when properly operated in accordance with the safety and operation warnings affixed to every golf car. The safe operation is enhanced when the golf cars are operated
28、within a specific set of operation instructions, safety rules and practices established to meet actual operating terrain and conditions. 5.2 Safety survey The controlling party shall perform a safety survey of its premises periodically, and as conditions warrant, identify areas where golf cars shoul
29、d not be operated and possible hazards exist. See, for example, 5.2.1. See also ILTVA Golf Course Safety Guidelines and ILTVA Golf Car Storage Facility Safety Guidelines. 5.2.1 Grades Excessive speed while descending grades adversely affects the stability of the golf car and its ability to stop. In
30、areas where hazardous grades4exist, it is recommended golf car operations should be restricted to designated golf car paths and roads where possible. Hazardous grades shall be identified with a suitable warning at a point preceding the initiation of the slope for example, “Warning, steep hill, slow
31、down now.“ Avoid parking on steep hills. Provide flat surface parking areas adjacent to golf car paths on steep grades. All slopes should generally be considered potentially hazardous especially when a turn occurs on the down slope or the slope exceeds 10% (6 deg) on an unpaved surface of 20% (11 de
32、g) on a paved surface. 5.2.2 Slippery terrain Extreme caution should be used when driving on slippery terrain. Wet grassy areas or ice for example may cause a golf car to lose traction and may adversely affect operator control. Slippery surfaces e.g., wet grass, should be chained or roped off to pre
33、vent golf car operations or be identified by a suitable 4See Section 3.04 of Golf Course Safety Guidelines.

34、2 7 warning to operators not to operate golf cars in that area. Additionally, if wet conditions are or become prevalent, consider limiting golf car operation to paved paths. 5.2.3 Turns All turns shall be negotiated at a reduced speed. Approach turns with caution particularly on grades. Negotiating
35、a turn can affect the stability and control of a golf car, causing loads and passengers to shift. Potentially hazardous areas shall be closed off to prevent golf car operations or identified with a suitable warning to the operator of the nature of the hazard and stating the proper precautions to be
36、taken to avoid the hazard. Curves should be properly banked to avoid negative super elevation. 55.2.4 Loose terrain Extreme caution shall be used when driving in areas of loose terrain. Loose terrain, for example, sand or gravel, can cause a golf car to lose traction and may affect steering, braking
37、 and stability. Areas of loose terrain shall be repaired if possible, or closed off to prevent golf car operation or identified by a suitable warning to operators not to operate golf cars in those areas. 5.2.5 Golf car/pedestrian interference areas Areas where pedestrians and golf cars could interac
38、t should be avoided by rerouting the golf car traffic or the pedestrian traffic. If avoidance of the interaction is not possible or is highly impractical, signs shall be erected warning pedestrians of the golf car traffic. Signs shall also be erected warning golf car operators of the pedestrian traf
39、fic and to drive slowly and with caution. 5.2.6 Modifications Modifications made to golf cars that are not approved by the original equipment manufacturer may adversely affect the safe operation and performance of the vehicle. If a golf car has been modified by a party other than the original equipm
40、ent manufacturer, the controlling party shall (i) arrange for the modification to be designed, tested and implemented by an engineer expert in golf cars and their safety; (ii) maintain a permanent record of the design test(s) and implementation of the modification; (iii) make appropriate changes to
41、the capacity, plate(s), decals, and operation and maintenance manuals; and (iv) affix a permanent and readily visible label on the golf car stating the golf car has been modified with the date of the modification and the name of the organization that accomplished the modification. The controlling pa
42、rty shall not perform, or allow to be performed, any modification or addition to the vehicle that affects capacity or safe operation, or make any change not in accordance with the original equipment manufacturers operations and service manuals, without the original equipment manufacturers prior writ
43、ten authorization. Whether or not modifications have been authorized by the original equipment manufacturer, if modifications are made, the controlling party making the modifications becomes the original equipment manufacturer of the modified vehicle and has the responsibility to ensure that capacit
44、y, operation, warning, maintenance instruction plates, tags, and/or decals are changed accordingly.

45、intenance 6.1 Introduction Golf cars may become hazardous if maintenance is neglected or improperly performed. Proper maintenance shall be performed by trained personnel in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. 6.2 Preventive maintenance A regularly scheduled inspection and preventive m
46、aintenance program in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations should be established. Such a program will be a valuable tool in providing the golfing patron with a safe, properly operating golf car. 6.2.1 Personnel Only qualified, trained and authorized personnel shall be permitted to inspe
47、ct, adjust and maintain golf cars. 6.2.2 Parts and materials Manufacturers recommended replacement parts and materials should be used. 6.2.3 Maintenance and repair safety procedures All maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturers recommended maintenance and safety procedures
48、as outlined in the manufacturers operation and service manuals. For example, - a) Follow manufacturers instructions for immobilizing golf car before beginning any maintenance; b) Block chassis before working underneath golf car; c) Before disconnecting any part of the fuel system, drain the system and turn all valves, if so equipped, to the “off“ position to prevent leakage or accumulation of flammable fuels; d) Avoid fire hazards and have fire protection equipment available; e) Before performing any maintenance on an electric golf car, disconnect the electrical system in accordan
