Key Steps in Golf Cart Winterization
1. Clean and Inspect Your Golf Cart
Proper winterization begins with thoroughly cleaning your golf cart, both inside and out. Remove any dirt, debris, and grime from the body, wheels, and undercarriage to minimize potential damage during storage. Inside, vacuum and wipe down surfaces, ensuring the removal of any food crumbs, dirt, or moisture that could lead to mold, mildew, or corrosion during winter storage. Inspect your cart for any signs of damage or wear that might need attention, such as worn tires, loose connections, or damaged upholstery, and address these issues promptly.
2. Charge and Disconnect the Batteries
Battery maintenance is crucial when storing your golf cart during the winter months. Fully charge your cart's batteries and, if possible, disconnect them entirely to prevent any unnecessary drains on their power. For electric golf carts, ensure that the batteries are topped off with distilled water to help prevent premature corrosion. Gas-powered carts should have their battery terminals cleaned and coated with protective terminal grease to prevent corrosion during storage. MOR Golf and Utility’s indoor storage solutions provide battery maintenance services to ensure your cart’s batteries remain in top condition during storage.
3. Protect Your Golf Cart's Tires
Properly inflating your golf cart's tires is an essential step in winterization. Check and adjust the tire pressure according to the manufacturer's recommendations to minimize the risk of flats or damage due to long-term storage. To further protect your golf cart tires, consider using tire covers or ramps to prevent direct contact with the ground, which can help avoid flat spots or unnecessary stress on the tires.
4. Drain or Stabilize the Fuel System
For gas golf carts, it is vital to take care of the fuel system during winter storage. Two options exist: draining the fuel tank and carburetor entirely or adding a fuel stabilizer to the remaining gasoline. Draining ensures no fuel is left behind that could cause gumming or varnishing. Alternatively, a fuel stabilizer can help prevent fuel degradation and keep the engine in good operating condition for next season.
