OPERATOR SAFETY ! Y-928 Y-68 Yamaha golf cars are designed to be simple to operate. However, be sure to observe the following: BEFORE OPERATING THE GOLF CAR ● Read this Ownerʼs/Operatorʼs manual and all safety and instruction labels on the golf car before operating. ● Perform the pre-operation checks found in Section 6 of this manual. ● Only authorized people should drive the golf car, from the driverʼs side only, and only in designated areas. ● Do not allow more than two occupants per seat. This golf car is restricted to two occupants unless equipped with a rear seat. ● Do not operate the golf car while under the influence of alcohol or drugs; their affect on vision and judgment make operating a golf car dangerous. ● Do not operate the golf car on public streets, roads or highways unless allowed by law or local regulating authority. WHILE OPERATING THE GOLF CAR ● Keep your entire body inside the golf car, remain seated, and hold on when the car is in motion. ● Do not start the golf car until all occupants are seated. ● Keep your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the path ahead.

OPERATOR SAFETY ● Use extra care in congested areas or when backing up. Always back up slowly, and watch carefully. ● Avoid starting or stopping abruptly. ● Vary the speed of the golf car to match the terrain of the course. ● Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply at higher speeds. ● Always drive slowly straight up or straight down slopes – never at an angle. ● Do not run the engine indoors. Exhaust gas is poisonous. ● Do not make any modification or addition which affects capacity or safe operation, or make any changes not in accordance with the ownerʼs/operatorʼs manual. !
