GOLFBOARD OWNER’S MANUAL
37
SolBoards Inc. highly recommends cycling the batteries at least once every 2 months to
maximize the life of the battery pack. Cycling is the discharge to ~30 % SOC (state of
charge) or less, and then charging to 100% SOC.
Failure to plug the charger into the battery first, followed by plugging the charger AC cord
into the wall outlet, may cause the board to not charge properly.
4.6 CLEANING
The GolfBoard should be cleaned with non-corrosive biodegradable cleaners. Pressure washers
or open water (hosing down) of the GolfBoard voids the manufacturer’s warranty. Instead
cleaning should be done with a damp rag. The undercarriage should be cleaned using
compressed air. The small surface area and smooth material of the GolfBoard allows this hand
cleaning approach to be performed in most cases without significant time requirements.
The GolfBoard is water resistant and can be operated in all common Golf Course conditions,
including dew and light rain conditions. The GolfBoard should not be operated in large puddles,
water hazards, heavy rain, or similarly wet environments.
4.7 DECK WEAR
The deck or standing surface of the GolfBoard is a consumable component, and will wear
throughout the operational life. It is also possible that the traction material can be damaged from
misuse. Metal spikes are prohibited from use on the GolfBoard decks. SolBoards, Inc. provides
genuine replacement decks in the case of excessive wear or damage. Removal is completed by
removing the 4 deck mounting bolts. Replacement with a new deck follows the reverse
procedure.
4.8 BUMPER PAD REPLACEMENT
The GolfBoard uses standard bumper pads, which have high UV resistance, but they can be
damaged from normal wear and tear as well as from prolonged exposure to the sun.
Replacement should be conducted whenever the pad is visually damaged. Each pad uses a
simple Velcro split mounting method and should be removed and replaced when needed.
4.9 MOTOR MAINTENANCE
The GolfBoard utilizes a high efficiency 4 pole brushed motor. The motors require zero
maintenance besides occasional replacement of brushes. The following brush replacement
guidelines present general instruction to determining if your motor(s) brushes are in need of
replacement. Please contact GolfBoard Technical Support with any questions on service and
repair at 1-888-328-2841. Genuine GolfBoard replacement parts must be used.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the cleaning precautions or failure to observe operation guidelines can result
in water damage to the GolfBoard that is not covered under warranty.
