Golf Cart Maintenance

You get a workout on the golf course—and so does your golf cart. To get the maximum potential from your major investment year after year, create a maintenance schedule and keep your golf cart in top working order so it’s always ready, always dependable, and ready to carry you flawlessly through your game. Give its basic functions a weekly checkup. Check the battery and clean it regularly so grass, sand, dirt and battery acid doesn’t collect and interfere with connections leaving the cart underpowered. Check the connections of the batteries and remove all corrosion and debris from around the terminals. A mixture of baking soda and water will melt away any built-up corrosion; then wipe the batteries down with a clean cloth. Always unplug the charging cord after the batteries have reached a full charge. Keep the electrolyte water levels up in each cell of the batteries; the leaded plates within the batteries must be submerged in order to work consistently—and always use distilled water! Make sure your battery cases are free from cracks and there is a tight seal on the caps. Major golf cart checkups should be planned every three months so the tires can be inspected and internal parts cleaned and checked. Visit a reputable mechanic who will thoroughly conduct the inspection. Be good to your major investment and enjoy optimum service for years to come.
