Yearly Golf Cart Maintenance

Yearly Gas Golf Cart Maintenance

• Service Cart:  Light use 1 time per year, heavy use at least 2 times per year.  Service includes:  spark plugs, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, changing oil (premium grade), grease front end & adjust valves.  Even if your cart sits up it should be serviced due to moisture build up, in the motor.
• Check belts for wear, drive and starter generator belts.
• Check battery for corrosion.  Remove corrosion and spray with battery terminal protector.
• Tire pressure should be at 12 – 15 lbs.
• Be careful not to over choke golf cart, as this will foul the plugs.  If cart does not run after normal choke procedure, stop and call for service.  Service should be performed by an authorized technician.
• Crank time is 3- seconds, trying to crank beyond this period could damage the starter generator.
• Use a container free of contaminates when refilling your gas tank.  Dirt & water can damage your engine.  Unleaded fuel only, diesel fuel will not work.

Yearly Electric Golf Cart Maintenance

• Check water level of batteries at least every 3- days.  (Never let batteries run dry)
• Check battery connections periodically.  Remove any corrosion and spray with battery terminal protector.
• Grease front end at least 1 time per year.
• Tire pressure should be at 12-15 lbs
• Do not overcharge batteries.  Cart will begin to feel sluggish when it is time to re-charge.  (We
• sell & install charge meters.)
• Do not run batteries all the way down.  Your charger needs at least 34 volts in order for the charger to be able to engage.  Run down batteries can also damage the speed controller.
• If you have an electric cart with the drive control or precision drive system, it is important to remember to put the toggle switch in the tow position when not operating cart. 
• Do not charge your cart during a storm, lightening can come in and damage the system.
