Used Golf Cart Maintenance Tips
As the demand for convenient modes of transportation increases, more shoppers are considering their options in golf carts. Shopping for used golf carts is a great way to save money while finding a vehicle that’s easily manageable. If you decide going with a used cart is the right decision for you though, you may want to consider the maintenance requirements needed to keep your cart in top shape.
Van Wert Carts in Van Wert, Ohio is a proud provider of some of the best used golf carts available today. Here are a few tips we recommend to ensure your cart functions optimally for as long as possible.
Check Your Tires
A golf cart can’t function properly with damaged tires, and this should remain one of your top priorities when it comes to golf cart maintenance. Over time, heat exposure and exposure to other harsh elements can cause your tires to deflate, experience dry rot and become vulnerable to punctures. The more you use your cart, the more you’ll find the treading is being worn as well, which could affect your cart’s maneuverability. Damaged or weak tires pose a serious threat for drivers and should be addressed immediately upon detection.
Change Your Oil
If you even suspect for a minute that your oil is contaminated, the best thing to do is consult your user’s manual and find out how to change it or take it to a professional. Dirty oil in your engine can pose serious mechanical threats to your ride and result in costly repairs or even irreparable damage. Your user manual will also provide you with necessary insight on how often your oil needs to be changed and what type of oil is best suited for your vehicle. If a user manual is unavailable to you, you can always visit our experts and we’ll assist you with any issues your cart may be having.
Wash Your Cart
Washing your cart is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to ensure you’re protecting your investment. Allowing dirt to build up on the exterior of your vehicle is a sure way to cause corrosion or damage to your paint job. You’ll also find that stray debris from a dirty car can clog your filters and impede your used golf cart's ability to perform the way it should. Given that you’ll be using a pr-owned vehicle, you’ll want to avoid exposing it to any threats that could cause damage and further devalue your machine. We recommend a proper wash after every use to keep your cart up and running.
