Caster Wheel Assembly Maintenance
The Caster Wheel Assembly requires a high level of maintenance.
Dirt and grass often get stuck in or around the caster wheel and
caster wheel fork. If you let it accumulate, it will weaken the
caster wheel.
After a day out on the golf course, before storing your unit, lightly
brush the dirt and grass off the assembly.
1.
Cleaning
It is common for grass and dirt to collect in the caster fork area.
Remove the caster wheel, brush away the dirt and grass that has
accumulated, then wipe with a damp rag so that the caster wheel
may spin freely and unhindered.
Recommended Maintenance: Every two weeks
2. Lubrication
Spray a silicon bearing lubricant directly on the caster wheel
bearing to prevent it from seizing. It is recommended to remove
the caster wheel to apply the lubricant, so do this while you are
cleaning the wheel. Just be sure to wipe the bearing clean before
applying lubricant.
Recommended Maintenance: Monthly
3. Tension
Adjust the caster wheel’s tension with the
6 mm hex wrench. We recommend you
adjust the caster wheel tension so that it
will spin a total of five revolutions per spin.
Do not over tighten the caster wheel as
this may cause damage and misalign the bearing. A caster wheel
that is too tight will demand more power from the motors, which
in turn will drain the battery at a quicker rate.
Recommended Maintenance: Monthly
