Maintaining Golf Trolleys
Most golfers nowadays have their own golf trolley, whether it is a two wheeled pull trolley or a three wheeled electric trolley. With the advancement in technology and components, electric golf trolleys are becoming more popular, in fact at least half of regular golfers own an electric golf trolley. Golfers are realising the benefits which come with using a powered trolley, allowing them to enjoy their game by taking the stress and strain out of the three to four hours of possibly carrying or pulling a set of clubs around. It is important to remember owning a golf trolley and making it last does require some maintenance.
Maintaining a golf trolley is important if you intend to expect a long life out of a it. It is essential to clean off any debris like mud or damp grass, which can trap water against the surface for long periods of time. This trapped debris can lead to either corrosion or poor functioning of moving parts. Most parts are integral in well designed electric golf trolleys and other than a few exposed areas lubrication is not needed, although it doesn’t do any harm to use some light household oil or grease in places like hinges this can protect moving and static surfaces from friction or corrosion.
One of the most important aspects to maintaining a golf trolley is to make sure you do not abuse the normal everyday use of them. This can be as simple as being careful you don’t run the battery down completely, or running it into kerbs, stones, tree stumps, rabbit holes etc. Although this kind of incident tends to be accidental, there is no electric golf trolley manufacturer will cover accidental damage to their products under warranty. One person put it like this “if I bought a new car and drove it out the showroom into a high kerb damaging the wheels, the manufacturer wouldn’t be expected to cover this by warranty.”
Battery maintenance is important enough to find that any good supplier will provide details of how to keep their golf trolleys battery in best long life condition. Battery life is finite and most good suppliers will not only rate the performance but the longevity of their batteries in terms of Amp per hour and cycles of discharge respectively.
With careful maintenance most owners can keep their golf trolleys for years with a few simple steps of time and caution.
