How to let the golf cart last for several golf seasons?

Posted: May 26, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Golf carts made their debut in the 1950s and the earliest cart were electric, powered by small batteries that were plugged into a power source when not in use. Electric golf carts are more widely used on the golf course than the gas powered carts which was developed in the 1970s. Of course the latter is generally more powerful and somewhat louder than the electric version. However, how could we let the golf cart last for several golf seasons to come? The maintenance is essential by any means.

Golf cart maintenance is actually fairly simple so long as you keep up on it in a fairly regular manner. To prolong the life of the cart, you just need to set up general time lines of check-ups and do some basic clean-up, even study of your small engine vehicle.

For most golfers, a basic weekly check-up of some of your cart's basic functions is al that is needed to keep it in good working order. Beyond weekly maintenance checks, golf cart owners should also plan a major check-up every 3 months. At that time, the golf cart's brake system, suspension, engine and tires can be thoroughly looked at, cleaned and fixed as needed.

Another important factor you don't forget is to check and maintain the battery on a regular basis. It is important that you check the electrolyte water levels in each cell of the batteries because the leaded plates in the battery must be submerged. Make sure to take the appropriate safety precautions when doing this by wearing gloves and goggles. Dirt and grass along with spilled battery acid can damage the battery by causing sub-par or disconnected cable connections. Since these connections are what keep the batteries working together, making sure these get cleaned regularly is important to the long-term life of the cart.  Wash off the tops of the batteries each week to keep the batteries working to their best ability. Besides, you need to ensure the connections are on tightly and are not damaged by corrosion or debris. If you have a damaged connector, you can attempt to change it yourself by referring to your owner's manual or you can take it in for professional repair.

Dirt can definitely impact the usability of your golf cart.  Despite precautions, all golf carts may need cleaning periodically. To keep your golf cart looking new over time, store it in a covered garage or shed during inclement weather or cover it using a golf cart cover.

If golfers want to enjoy a relaxed and well-equipped golf season this summer, please don't neglect your golf cart's maintenance and a great season of golf games is a little bit easier.
