l Parts and Materials. Use onlyreplacement parts and materialsrecommended by the manufacturer.
l Ventilation. Properly ventilate allmaintenance and storage areas inaccordance with applicable firecodes and ordinances to avoid firehazards. Ventilation is required toremove flammable vapors andfumes from gasoline powered carstorage areas. Ventilation is alsorequired to remove hydrogen gasfrom the car storage areas duringthe battery charging process.
For electric powered golf cars, theamount of hydrogen gas emittedduring charging depends on anumber of factors, such as thecondition of the batteries, the outputrate of the battery charger, and theamount of time the batteries are oncharge. Because of the highlyvolatile nature of hydrogen gas andits propensity to rise and accumulateat the ceiling in pockets, a minimumof 5 air changes per hour isrecommended. Consult applicablefire and safety codes for the specificventilation levels requirement, aswell as requirements for the use ofexplosion proof electrical apparatus.

l Personnel. Allow only qualified,trained, and authorized personnelto inspect, adjust, and maintaingolf cars.
l Parts and Materials. Use onlyreplacement parts and materialsrecommended by the manufacturer.
l Ventilation. Properly ventilate allmaintenance and storage areas inaccordance with applicable firecodes and ordinances to avoid firehazards. Ventilation is required toremove flammable vapors andfumes from gasoline powered carstorage areas. Ventilation is alsorequired to remove hydrogen gasfrom the car storage areas duringthe battery charging process.
For electric powered golf cars, theamount of hydrogen gas emittedduring charging depends on anumber of factors, such as thecondition of the batteries, the outputrate of the battery charger, and theamount of time the batteries are oncharge. Because of the highlyvolatile nature of hydrogen gas andits propensity to rise and accumulateat the ceiling in pockets, a minimumof 5 air changes per hour isrecommended. Consult applicablefire and safety codes for the specificventilation levels requirement, aswell as requirements for the use ofexplosion proof electrical apparatus.
