Picture this,,
Sitting on my cart, on the side of the floor with the motor in my lap,, Got all the jumpers hooked up right and touched the hot cable from the 4 batteries to the last post,
THOSE LITTLE MOTORS HAVE SOME SERIOUS TORQUE WHEN LAYING IN YOUR LAP 
Motor jumped out of my lap and hit the ground and I about ruined the inside of my Wranglers.!! I think my motor is good.........
Now you have a f'n clue why the instructions say DO NOT RUN MOTOR WITH THE FRONT SHAFT UNSUPPORTED! Think about it. That "little" motor will propel a 800-900 pound golf cart 12-14 mph. Be careful.  |
LOL, oooooooh, thats what it meant... WHY would you ever disconnect the motor from the drivetrain and RUN it??? WHY!?! LOL, I thought it meant running it with the wheels off the ground or something, lol... THANKS!
