Winterization Tips

Are you a do-it-yourselfer? Miller & Sons Golf Cars would like to offer some winterization tips to make sure your car runs smoothly in the spring. 

Battery care is extremely important to increase the life and performance of your golf cart. When your golf car is ready to be stored, the battery terminals should be cleaned. 

The cleaning of the batteries and disconnecting the terminals will help prevent corrosion and self-discharge. We recommend recharging the batteries every 30 days for optimal life and performance. Unplug the next day after recharging.

Gas Golf Car Storage Tips

The technicians at Miller & Sons Golf Cars recommend the following tips to keep your gas-powered golf car healthy during long-term storage to avoid corrosion in the engine and buildup of varnish and gum in the carbonator:

1. Raise the rear of the golf car using the jack stands
2. Fuel hose should be disconnected at the fuel tank and the hose plugged
   
3. Allow the engine to run while depressing the accelerator pedal until it runs out of fuel and shuts off
   
4. Gasoline additive should be added to the tank
   
5. Spark plugs should be removed. Pour 1 oz of engine oil into the cylinder and then replace the ground spark plug wire and spark plug. Turn on engine to distribute the oil
   
6. Connect the fuel line to the tank. The car should be driven for a few minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor
   
7. Change the oil while the engine is still warm

 Lithium  Golf Car Battery Tips
