Maintaining a Golf Cart

Proper golf cart maintenance can go along way toward helping you avoid a serious golf cart accident or injury.

• Check tires for proper inflation or punctures, screws, nails, etc.
• Have brakes and steering serviced immediately if they are not working properly.
• Make sure headlights and brake lights are operational, especially before using a golf cart after dusk or in inclement weather.
• Look for battery or other fluid leaks indicated by wet spots under the golf cart.
• Recharge the golf cart in a safe, dry, charging station, with a fire extinguisher nearby.
• Never recharge near an open flame or ignition source. Never smoke in your recharge area.
• Recharge batteries only with a charger that is designed to shut off automatically when the batteries are fully charged.
• Remember to unplug all battery charger cords before using the golf cart.
• Do not allow towels or golf cart accessories to hang down over turn signals or brake lights.
