Winter is right around the corner! For many of us, that means it’s almost time to put away the golf cart for the season. If you don’t properly take care of your golf cart in the off-season, you may very well be faced with a golf cart that won’t start in the spring. Cold weather climates can wreak havoc on certain golf cart components such as the batteries and cables. That’s why it’s so important to prepare your golf cart for the impending cold weather this winter. If you’re not sure how to properly winterize your golf cart, here is a step-by-step guide.
1. Clean Golf Cart and Batteries
• Using soap and water, remove all dirt from the body of the golf cart. Be sure to wipe it dry, to prevent rusting.
• Using a battery acid neutralizer (1 cup of baking soda per 1 gallon of water), clean the battery packs and terminals. Use an old paintbrush if necessary to completely coat all terminals. After a few minutes, wash away solution using water, then dry the batteries completely with a towel.
2. Fill Golf Cart Tires
• Using a tire gauge, check the air pressure in each tire. Most golf carts require 18-20 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).
