CHAPTER 6
CARING FOR YOUR NEUTON GARDEN CART
Like any machine, maintaining your Cart ensures its best performance and extends its life. Follow these procedures to keep your Cart working at peak efficiency.
•Check all screws and nuts regularly; tighten them as needed. Regularly check the plastic parts for cracks or broken pieces.
•Periodically check the tire pressure on all three tires. Keep the tire pressure between 28 and 30 pounds per square inch (psi). The Garden Cart’s tire valves work like those on bicycle tires. To add air, remove the cap and push the air hose or pump fitting onto the end of the valve stem. To remove air, depress the pin in the center of the valve stem.
NEVER OVER INFLATE THE TIRES. IF YOU OVER INFLATE THE TIRES, YOU COULD CAUSE THEM TO EXPLODE RESULTING IN SEVERE INJURY.
•Try not to use your Cart when it’s wet or snowy. And do not spray the electrical areas of your Cart with a hose. Water and moisture in the motors and electrical switches can cause them to corrode, which then causes them to fail. Remember, this is an electrical machine!
•That said; you can still hose off your Cart. Just be careful not to spray water directly on the Controls Caddy or through the battery door.
•Wash your Cart using a mild automotive type detergent and water with a soft brush or rag. Do not use any
Storing Your Garden Cart
•Your Cart stores neatly away tipped up on its nose. When you store your Cart, follow these important guidelines to help ensure your Cart’s best performance when you use it again.
•Store your Cart inside or under a protective cover (such as the Garden Cart’s Soft Cover).
•Charge the battery before storing your Cart. In temperatures lower then 40° F (5° C), the battery maintains a charge for about 60 days. If you store your Cart for extended periods of time, periodically recharge the battery. Once a month is a good rule of thumb.
•Always store your Cart in an environment where the temperature is between
•Store your Cart in a dry environment. Water will damage your Cart and the battery.
•Do not store your Cart near chemicals (such as fertilizers), or organic or other solvents. These products are often highly corrosive and may cause permanent damage to your Cart.
•Do not store your Cart close to a source of heat, sparks, or open flames.
