If you need any further assistance with golf cart maintenance, we invite you to consult the experts at your nearest ICON® Superstore location.

Tire Care
Extreme heat causes the air inside your golf cart tires to expand, increasing the tire pressure by up to 30%. To avoid overinflated tires, which can lead to blowouts and other problems, try lowering the air pressure in your golf cart tires by about 1-2 psi during the summer months. Only adjust the air pressure when the tires are cool, and check the pressure levels periodically throughout the summer to make sure they stay within an acceptable range.
Battery Care
Exposure to high temperatures can also be hard on your golf cart batteries. Heat causes the water in the batteries to evaporate faster, so be prepared to check the water levels more frequently during the summer months. Remember to only use distilled water when refilling the batteries, and take care not to overfill them.
Paint Care
The paint job on your golf cart can be harmed by sun exposure, leading to damage and discoloration. To preserve the finish, take the time to wash and wax your golf cart at the beginning of the summer. Be sure to use a UV-resistant wax product.
