IT’S TIME TO THINK ABOUT
STORING
YOUR GOLF CART
I
n snow-prone areas
of the country, avid
golfers dread the
snap of cold that
comes later in the
year. For those of
us who are unable
to enjoy year-round
golfing, it’s important
to take steps to make
sure that all of our
golfing equipment
is ready for the first
clear day in the
spring -- and that
includes golf cars.
Winterizing your
electric golf car for
the off-season is
critical to prevent
costly repairs and
make your first round
of the new year as
fun as it should be.
Preparing the Battery for Storage
Simple, regular maintenance of your 6 volt golf car
batteries during the off-season ensures that your car
is ready to run when the time comes, but neglecting to
care for them will leave you with a car that can’t make it
out of the garage, let alone 18 holes.
• Start by moving your car wherever it is going to be
stored. If you plan on storing it outside, or in a
semi-enclosed area that is still exposed to the weather
be sure to protect the car with a secure cover once you
have completed the initial winterizing maintenance.
• Leave the forward/reverse switch in the neutral
position.
