Repairs

Some issues that you may have with your trolley can be repaired quite easily but care should be taken particularly with electrical components as we have seen these jobs under taken which have resulted in blown control boxes and switches. Our advice would be to let us do the jobs we have experience and knowledge in and do them for you with the comfort that it will be done properly and with guarantees.  

Potentiometer

The potentiometer or ‘pot’ as it’s known is the switch on your electric golf trolley and can be found in the handle part of your trolley. It will be in a circuit with the wiring loom and control box to switch on/off and change the speed of your trolley and is one of the most common parts that need replacing. A faulty pot can also be the cause when your trolley is ‘stuck’ at one particular speed and the only way to stop the trolley is to disconnect the power supply, so the connection leads should just be taken out from the battery to stop it.

Wiring Loom

The wiring loom or main cable takes the electrical current around your trolley, It connects the control box with the switch and /or potentiometer and is an important piece in the system to make your trolley run correctly. Do check for cuts or breakages in this wire particularly around hinged areas and places where the wire goes into or out of the frame.

Wobbly Handle

Occasionally the handle on the trolley becomes wobbly or loose which will appear bendy and this is because the central lock has become loose, this requires tightening up, a simple job for an issue which can become quite annoying.

Tyres

This week we had an enquiry regarding some broken tyres on a Powakaddy trolley. The fact that they were split meant they needed replacing but the whole wheel didn't have to be replaced only the tyres which some people do not know. Its not all makes and models of trolley's that this can be done with so ask us before you purchase either new wheels or second hand wheels.

Axle

The axle is the main component to making the side wheels go round and is turned through the gearbox. It is held in to place by securing pins which go through the end of the gearbox, this does make replacing the axle a little easier as the gearbox does not need to come off too. The axle goes through two axle mounts located on the left and right hand side of the chassis and are usually black and then at the ends of the axle will be a clutch bearing, One for the left side and one for the right side and these must be fitted on the correct sides as they will not work correctly otherwise.

Broken Strap

The straps are located at the bottom and one at the top of the frame to hold the bag in place on the trolley and stop it falling off when going either over very bumpy ground or on side hills. They just go through the bag support round the back of it and back through the slot to the front where they clip into place to secure the bag. This is the same at the bottom and so if one has snapped or the plastic clip has snapped they can easily be replaced.  The strap doubles back through the clip so just push it back on itself so it comes out the clip, Get the new clip and thread the strip through making sure it goes the same way as before. The strap locks in to place because it doubles back on itself and tightens against the rough edge on the clip.

Top Tube

The top tube is attached to the bottom part of the frame by way of the hinge half way down, it connects with the hinge by rivet and has the handle attached to it at the top through screws and It also has the bag support riveted to it. Generally speaking not a lot happens to this part although the odd breakage has been known and if this does happen it does take some time to dismantle and replace because the bag support, the hinge and the handle are all attached to it.

Golf Trolleys

As we continue to improve our functionality, facility and service we are growing our list of electric golf trolleys or ride on golf carts for you to view, try and ask questions. Within the next two months we should have 3 or 4 buggies and 20 trolleys new and reconditioned from a variety of manufacturers so that we will be the one stop shop for when you want to purchase another trolley or ride on golf cart.
We will as usual continue to up date you as and when they become available or we add a new service/product to our business.
