Maintenance......
Just wondering what all else you guys do regarding maintenance on your carts. I know about adding water to the batteries and making sure the cables are tight, but is there anything else you do?
Any spots to oil or grease? etc. |

Re: Maintenance......
you will have a greese fittling on the steering and you have oil in the rear diff. I also make sure the lugs are tight when I service them. Its also a good idea to check cable tightness on the motor. Dont forget about the brakes.

And wash it every once in a while.
Also keep a check on the air pressure. Low tires will draw unnecessarily from your battery pack. |

Re: Maintenance......
I keep a mental check-list, but I recommend to my friends and neighbors to do the following:
1. Each use/Daily: Tires look full, Batteries clean and wires tight, Steering feels responsive, no new noises/rattles, brakes work (able to lock up tires with a hard stop), check charger wire and plug connections for dirty, frayed or pulled wires (AC and DC wires and plugs). 2. Each week: Battery levels good, add distilled water as needed. Check front and rear suspension for loose, bent, broken or leaking parts. Investigate as needed. 3. Each month: Fill tires to recommended pressure. Top off all batteries. Check all lug nuts tight. Check all wire connections tight (including controller and motor). 4. Annually: Check differential fluid level, rotate tires, check/tighten all bolts/nuts that are accessible. Clean anything that doesn't get cleaned in your normal wash routine. Lift batteries and inspect for corrosion. Check all wiring that is visible for cracks, wear/fraying, corrosion, loose or pulled crimp connectors and repair or replace as needed (this includes light wiring, throttle and charge circuit wires) I can't afford to have the wife bugging me that her cart doesn't work, this checklist keeps her out of my hair and on the beach!! |
