Proper Battery Care
If your golf cart runs on batteries, its is important to pay special attention to those batteries so that they don't wear out prematurely. One of the most important parts of battery maintenance is making sure that the batteries have adequate amounts of water. It's also important that you charge the batteries every time you use your golf cart so that the batteries don't have issues caused by excessive depletion.
Brakes
On any type of golf cart, either gas or electric, you'll need to make sure that your brakes are functioning properly. Test your brakes in an out-of-the-way area before you head out for a drive. If you notice any unusual squeaks, grabbing, or other strange behavior, you'll probably need to have your brakes serviced. Since golf carts are often driven in close quarters, this is one service item that you definitely don't want to put off.
Lubrication
Multiple parts of your golf cart depend on sufficient lubrication to operate properly. Your rear axle differential, front suspension, and steering wheel rack and pinion all need to be lubricated on an ongoing basis. How frequently you'll need to address these components depends on the recommended schedule according to the manufacturer of your golf cart. While taking care of this necessary service, it makes a great time to check the other components of your golf cart for any issues.
Troubleshoot Basic Problems
Your golf cart is designed to help you relax. When your golf cart is having a problem, though, it's important that you don't ignore the problem until it gets too bad to overlook. Instead, start with some basic troubleshooting measures so that you can prevent small problems from becoming big problems. Common problems on golf carts include cracked distributor caps, clogged air filters, and frayed battery cables. While there are other problems you might face with your golf cart, taking care of these problems will clear up a lot of common issues.
