How often should I service my golf cart?

Servicing your golf cart regularly is essential for maintaining its performance and longevity. Here’s a general guideline for how often you should service it:

1. Every 6 months or 100 hours of use (whichever comes first):

   • Inspect and clean the battery terminals.
   • Check tire pressure and condition.
   • Inspect the brakes and adjust them if necessary.
   • Check the steering and suspension for wear or damage.
   • Clean or replace air filters (if applicable).
   • Inspect and top off fluids like brake fluid and oil (if your cart has a gas engine).

2. Annually:

   • Check the overall condition of the frame and body for any cracks or damage.
   • Inspect the battery for corrosion or leaks (especially for electric carts).
   • Perform a full brake inspection, including pads and drums.
   • Check the charger for any issues.
   • Inspect the electrical components, including wiring and connections.

3. After Every 150 to 200 hours of use:

   • Replace the motor oil (for gas-powered carts).
   • Replace spark plugs (for gas-powered carts).
   • Check the battery for performance and charge capacity (for electric carts).
   • Lubricate the moving parts, such as the steering mechanism and suspension.

Regular maintenance can help prevent bigger issues down the road. If you ever notice anything unusual during use, it's a good idea to address it sooner rather than later.
