Owning electric golf carts, like owning any vehicle, requires you to put aside money for routine maintenance and emergency repairs. You must keep your golf carts in perfect shape at all times, especially if you use them for commercial purposes on a regular basis.
That’s why you need to give your golf cart some TLC if you want to ensure that it operates smoothly and trouble-free in the long run.
Here are 7 ways to keep your golf cart in great condition at all times!
1. Charge Battery Regularly
Never leave your electric golf cart’s battery running out. Always charge it after each use so it’s ready to go the next time you want to ride it.
2. Inspect and Clean Battery
Inspect your battery on a regular basis to look for damage, cracks, corrosion, and dirt. You must also clean the battery connections with a cleaning solution. Pay close attention to the battery’s charging method as well to ensure maximum capacity.
3. Check the Tire Pressures
Check the air pressure in your golf cart tires regularly to keep them from wearing out. To maintain the performance and tire quality of your golf cart, ensure that the tire pressure is in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. Check Brakes Performance
One of the critical performance checks that you must perform on a regular basis is inspecting the performance of your golf cart brake. Check that your golf cart can slow down or stop completely when necessary. If there is any displacement or change in the brake wire connection, the brake show anchors, or the brake backing plates, you must immediately bring your cart in for service.
5. Schedule Lubrication
Pay close attention to the mechanical parts of your golf cart that require regular lubrication, such as the brakes, suspension, and steering. Consult your mechanic to determine which mechanical parts should be lubricated and which type of lubricant is best for your cart. Lubrication is necessary for reducing friction, wear, and tear.
6. Keep Your Golf Cart Clean
The condition of your golf cart’s external and internal interior is the most visible way to reveal whether or not it has been well maintained. Wash and wax your golf cart on a regular basis to protect the paint. To keep the steering wheel, seats, and floor in good condition, you’d need to clean them after each use.
7. Proper Storage
It is strongly advised that you store your golf cart indoors to protect it from weather, dust, dirt, and environmental hazards. In the case of outdoor storage, however, golf cart owners must invest in a golf cart cover to ensure maximum protection.
