JACK FROST HAS ARRIVED IN BIG SKY COUNTRY

While our nationwide customers in the southern half of the U.S. are still enjoying temperate weather the rest of us have begun to transition to the winter season.  The first blast of chilly weather always catches us a little off guard. but we have a few chores before we put our carts in storage and leave them ready to kickoff the spring season in great shape.

 

Gas Carts

• Belts-Check all of your belts and make sure they don't need replacing.  We have drive belts and generator belts available for all models.  You might need a clutch drive belt for your Yamaha Drive or a starter belt for your Club Car Precedent.
• Battery-It's not absolutely necessary but a good idea to disconnect your battery, check the water level and clean the terminals.
• Gas Tank-Check your gas level in your tank and add some fuel stabilizer like Stabil and you should be all set.

Electric Carts

• Battery Testing-In many cases you can identify a problem battery by disconnecting your battery wiring and using a handheld battery tester.  These testers but the battery under load and if the voltage drops off it is an indication you have a problem (call your dealer to confirm).
• Clean those terminals and use a battery terminal protector  to keep them corrosion free.  Check your battery cables and replace any worn cables.
• Battery Charger-Make sure your charger lights come on, that your charger is in a secure place, plug it in and you should be go to go.
