Necessary Information -
How to maintain tires and wheels:
-
Use manufacturer specified tire
pressure to best meet your golf cart. The greater the tire pressure,
the easier the car will roll, but the ride becomes stiffer and the
center of the tire may wear prematurely. Too much air reduces your
traction as only the middle of the tire makes sufficient contact
with the ground. Lower air pressure provides a smoother ride and
provides more traction, but also takes more power to turn the
wheels. If you go too low, then the outer edges of the tire may wear
prematurely.
-
Mount your golf cart tires
properly and place them on the correct side of the car so that the
tread appears to go forward. These tires provide great traction and
if mounted properly, will channel mud and dirt to the rear outside
of the tire and help to keep the tread clean from debris.
-
Golf cart wheels are designed for
low speeds and should not be used for high-speed highway travel. If
you need trailer tires or plan to make your golf cart go super fast,
use DOT (Dept. Of Transportation) approved wheels on which to mount
your highway tires. Just like the tire, the golf cart wheel cannot
sustain the stress of high-speed rotation under heavy load.
How to maintain
batteries and charger:
-
With the golf cart battery charger
unplugged from the golf cart and the key off, touch the positive
probe of the voltmeter to the main (+) terminal of your battery bank
and the negative probe to the main (-) terminal of the battery bank.
This reading is what is called "battery reference voltage", which is
the voltage present in your batteries while not under a load.
If battery doesn't cut off, you may have a bad
battery, which will not charge. This will cause the battery bank
voltage not to rise to the specified level the circuit board in the
charger has preset as the cutoff level. If the charger does not
sense the appropriate cutoff voltage, the charger will continue to
charge. The problem can also be caused by a bad circuit board in
many automatic chargers. Generally, most automatic chargers have at
least one circuit board which 'sense' through the battery bank for
the appropriate cutoff voltage. The last possible cause could be a
bad timer used in older manual chargers. Most of these chargers do
not have a circuit, and use a manual timer instead. If the timer is
bad, the charger will run continuously forever.
Electric Cart Safety and Driving Tips:
-
Drive slowly through turns and
drive straight and slow up and down slopes.
Be certain to set the brake when
coming to a complete stop.
Never back up without looking to
see what is behind the cart.
Never shift gears while the golf
cart is in motion. Never exceed the safe speed limit. Remember: golf
cart safety is number one.
Use a tow bar only when towing a
golf car.
Stop carts at all blind
intersections and sound the horns before proceeding.
Park cars in a manner that they do
not impede or interfere with normal pedestrian or vehicular traffic
flow on roadways, ramps or sidewalks.
Always "drive friendly". This
would ensure that your use of a cart wouldn't impede the play of
others.
Park your cart behind or beside
the green, never in front, to allow players behind you to hit sooner
after you've finished the hole.
Avoid driving the golf
car into the "approach" area 20 to 30 yards in front of the green.
Stop your
cart to avoid distracting a nearby player
who is preparing to hit a shot.
Never drive into yards or
neighboring properties.
Never drive a cart
through standing water in fairways or any turf areas that are
obviously wet.
Never drive onto a green,
collar or tee or any marked hazard.
Never drive
into any area that has been recently seeded or sodded.
Avoid abrupt
stops and sharp turns that cause skidding.
Spread
out wear-and-tear by avoiding compacted areas.
If
carts are allowed in the fairway, follow the golf cart safety
90-degree rule: Stay on the path until you come even with your ball,
then make a 90-degree turn into the fairway and drive directly to
your ball. After your shot, drive directly back to the path.
Watch
for special signage or other markers that direct traffic.
Avoid
driving over sprinkler heads and yardage markers.
Don't drive
carts into out-of-play areas that may be environmentally sensitive
(such as wildflower patches, native grass plantings and marshes).
Golfers with
medically certified disabilities may need access to areas not
normally open to cart traffic. Their golf cars are generally marked
with a flag to let others know they have special access.
Avoid pulling
off the path near tees and greens.
Keep all four
tires on the path whenever possible. Do not park with tires off the
path.
Storing your
cart:
Switch-off or disconnect
any electrical accessories that draw a constant current from the
batteries. An un-switched battery charge indicator or gas gauge, a
radio with a clock or memory circuit. These accessories constantly
draw from the battery and soon drain it of charge.
If your car is already
wired for all accessories making it difficult to cut-off power from
your accessories, install a main battery cutout switch before the
fuse block. This will make your job easier.
Check the tire pressure
and inflate each to 14 psi.
