CAR SAFETY
Practice the following to help ensure
the safety of utility car operators:
● Preventative Maintenance. Per-
form all scheduled maintenance in
accordance with manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations to provide the user
with a safe, properly operating utility
car.
● Personnel. Allow only qualified,
trained, and authorized personnel to
inspect, adjust, and maintain utility
cars.
● Parts and Materials. Use only
replacement parts and materials
recommended by Yamaha.
● Ventilation. Properly ventilate all
maintenance and storage areas in
accordance with applicable fire
codes and ordinances to avoid fire
hazards. Ventilation is required to
remove flammable vapors and
fumes from gasoline powered car
storage areas.
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 safe-
ty procedures:
● Properly immobilize utility car before
beginning any maintenance.
● Properly block chassis before work-
ing underneath utility car.
● Before disconnecting any part of the
fuel system, drain the applicable
part of the system to prevent fuel
leaks.
● Avoid fire hazards, and have appro-
priate fire protection equipment
available.
● Maintain all safety devices including
brakes, steering mechanisms, warn-
ing devices, and governors, in a safe
operating condition. Do not modify
these safety devices as supplied by
the manufacturer.
● After each maintenance or repair,
the car must be driven by a quali-
fied, 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 mainte-
nance, and type of maintenance.
Periodically inspect maintenance
log to ensure accurate and com-
plete entries.
● Maintain in a legible condition all
nameplates, warnings, and instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer.
● If new nameplates, warnings, or
instructions are needed, contact
your Yamaha dealer.
