Cart Maintenenace 2013


The staff will be spending a few days going through all of the golf carts.  The following will be completed on each cart:

  • A diagnostic meter is hooked up to a port in each cart which reads a number of functions from the computer in the cart.  Most importantly is the voltage of the 4-12 volt batteries.  If the total of all 4 batteries falls below 48 volts, the batteries are individually tested with a volt meter.  We are currently accumulating a list of batteries in need of replacement and will replace them before the season starts.   



  •  Each cart is jacked up and wheels are removed to check brake pads.
  • All roofs and brackets are checked to insure they nuts and bolts are tightened.
  • Body parts are repaired that have been damaged from collisions.
  • Rain covers for clubs are being checked to insure they are tight and the velcro straps are in place to hold the cover up.
  • Chargers are also being checked to insure they are working properly which can affect the life of the batteries.  Distilled water is also being placed in batteries to prevent dry cells which can lead to battery failure as well.
  • Carts are being test driven regarding any unusual noises or operation issues.
