GENERAL MAINTENANCE FOR THE GOLF SKATE CADDY
Under normal use, your GSC™ will require only routine maintenance.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. DO NOT
OPEN THE BATTERY BOX, MOTOR CONTROL ASSEMBLY, OR MOTOR. DOING SO WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
YOUR GSC™ IS NOT A FULLY WATERPROOF DEVICE BUT REGARDED AS WEATHERPROOF ONLY. TO PREVENT
ELECTRICAL DAMAGE, RIDING MUST BE AVOIDED IN HEAVY RAIN, MUD, OR OTHER SIGNIFICANT WET AREAS.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR GSC™ CLEAN AND FREE OF MOISTURE. WHEN TIGHTENING FITTINGS: DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!
Over time, vibrations from normal use may cause some external bolt and screw fittings to loosen, especially if riding
on rough surfaces. Check all fasteners for tightness before each use. Check and tighten all screws and nuts after every
75-100 hours of riding. Do not over-tighten, as stripping can result. Snug is tight enough. If you hear a new noise, pay
attention to it. Trucks and springs are factory preset and should not be adjusted.
The Golf Skate Caddy’s maintenance is very simple, straightforward and can be undertaken by any golf club mechanic
or handy person.
TYRES
• These should be maintained at 40-50psi, this should be checked every week, always ensure they have valve caps
fitted.
• Check for excessive wear, tyres can be rotated with the drive wheel, which will wear more quickly than non-drive
wheels.
• Tyres are split rims, take apart by letting air out of inner tube, removing bolts and splitting rim. When replacing
reverse procedure - but be careful not to pinch inner tube against both section of wheel.
BELT DRIVE
The belt drive needs regular checking every 6-8 weeks to ensure problem free travel. The GSC™ uses Gates Powergrip
GT3 drive belts, which are built tough, but is also the component that takes the most punishment and will eventually
wear out. Drive belt life also depends on your riding style. If your belt starts to make a clicking sound upon braking or
acceleration and becomes progressively worse, this is a sign of belt fatigue and should be changed.
To change the belt, follow these instructions:
• Remove the drive wheel by undoing the axle nut and washers. Grab the wheel with both hands turn clockwise and
pull up on the wheel to remove from the axle.
• Remove the cowling panel by undoing the two allen screws to expose the belt.
• Inspect and replace the belt.
• Replace cowling panel.
• Place the wheel back over the axle, with two hands rotate the wheel clockwise and place some downward pressure
at the same time being careful not to crush the belt.
• Once the large gear on the wheel has properly connected with the belt and slips in you may hear a click as the
wheel is pushed up against the axle slot… which is great.
• Replace the washers and axle nut, being careful not to over tighten.
Replacements belts are available at from your distributors website.

AXLE
The front and rear axles are preset and do not need adjustment. The front axle has two compression springs either side
of the main urethane bush. Removal and replacement of these springs require due care. When replacing the springs
or bush you will need to remove the 4 bolts holding down the base plate. The springs will cause the axle to rise,
allowing you to remove the front assembly. Change springs and bush if needed and reverse order to replace the axle
and motor assembly. Should there be a need to remove the main urethane bush it will need to be reinstalled to a
preset torque setting of 22Nm this can ne achieved using an electonic torque wrench.
SYNTHETIC GRASS COVERING
This specialised surface is designed to be used with golf shoes that have synthetic spikes. If you do not own a pair of
golf shoes with synthetic spikes it is recommended that you purchase these for use when riding the GSC™ to ensure
you have the best grip possible. The use of sports shoes with aggressive tread pattern may be used, however it is NOT
recommended that you ride the GSC™ with any footwear that has a smooth sole.
DO NOT WEAR METAL SPIKED GOLF SHOES AS THIS WILL DAMAGE LOGO GRASS SURFACE.
Due to excessive wear it may be necessary to replace the GSC™ mat.
• Ensure that you remove the kickstand bolt.
• The logo grass surface has a Velcro back.
• Peel back the synthetic grass covering and replace with new covering.
• Ensure that you replace the kickstand bolt securely.
