HOW TO MAINTAIN A GOLFCART?

DAILY PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION

Before every customer gets behind the wheel of a golf car, ask yourself the following questions. In addition, review the Customer-Care guidelines, listed here, to ensure superior golf cart performance:
> Have you performed a daily inspection ?
> Is the golf cart fully charged ?
> Is the steering responding properly ?
> Are the brakes activating properly ?
> Is the accelerator pedal free from obstruction ? Does it return to it’s upright position ?
> Are all the nuts, bolts and screws tight ?
> Do the tires have proper pressure ?
> Have the batteries been filled to proper level(lead-acid battery only)?
> Are the wires tightly connected the battery post and free of corrosion ?
> Does any of the wiring show cracks or fraying ?
> Are the brake uid (hydraulic brake system) at right levels ?
> Are the lubricant of rear axle at right levels ?
> Are the joints/knobs being properly greased
> Have you checked for leaks of oil/water ;etc ?

TIRE PRESSURE

Maintaining proper tire pressure in your personal golf cars is as important as it is with your family car.If tire pressure is too low, your car will use more gas or electrical energy.Check your tire pressure monthly, because dramatic uctuations in daytime and nighttime temperatures can cause tire pressure to uctuate. Tire pressure varies from tires to tires .
>Maintain tire pressure within 1-2 psi of the recommended pressure marked on tires at all times.

CHARGING

Properly charged batteries are one of the most important factors in the performance of your golf cars. By the same token,  improperly  charged  batteries  can  shorten  the  lifespan  and  adversely  affect  your  cart’s  performance.
>Batteries should be fully charged before a new vehicle is first used; after vehicles have been stored; and before vehicles are released for use each day. All cars should be plugged into chargers overnight for storage, even if the car has only been used for a short time during the day. To charge batteries, insert the charger’s AC plug into the vehicle receptacle.
>However, if you have lead-acid batteries in your golf cart before you charge any vehicles, be sure to adhere to important precautions:
. Since lead-acid batteries contain explosive gases, always keep sparks and ames away from vehicles and the service area.
. Never allow staff to smoke while batteries are charging.
. Everyone who works around batteries should wear protective clothing, including rubber gloves, safety glasses, and a face shield.
>Some people might not realize it, but new batteries require a break-in period. They must be significantly recharged at least 50 times before they can deliver their full capabilities. To be significantly discharged, batteries must be discharged, and not merely unplugged and plugged back in to perform one cycle.
