GENERAL MAINTENANCE FOR THE GSC™ TOURER
Under normal use, your GSC™ Tourer 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™ TOURER 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 and replace when needed.
BEING IN CONTROL AND SAFETY
Being in control is everything, especially when commanding the braking system on your GSC™ Tourer. Braking power
is relative to the speed you are travelling. If you release the right-hand thumb controller (throttle), you will activate the
drag brake, which is a gentler brake, which will allows you to coast to a predictable stop. Use this technique as you
approach a downhill or obstacle etc. before activating the emergency park brake on the left-hand thumb controller. If
you engage the emergency park brake at full speed, braking energy is greater than if you engage brakes whilst
traveling at a slow speed. So when braking at high speed, use a lighter touch! NOTE: When riding downhill, be in
control and always feather the brake accordingly to maintain a safe speed. It is safer to ride slower and be in control
than fast and out of control.
The GSC™ Tourer sports twin brushless hub motors which offer exceptional traction across many surfaces, however if
the hill is too steep, take care, you risk possibly over stressing the drive system, seek an alternate route and remember
if there is a cart path try to take this up any steep sections of your golf course.
CAUTION: Extreme and unchecked speed could result in serious injury or worse. When riding downhill, the motor
remains engaged at all times, providing some drag. To avoid building up too much speed, it’s advised you apply
frequent gentle braking by gently releasing the right-hand thumb controller and engaging the drag brake. If you
require more braking power, slowly press the left-hand emergency park brake to engage the main brake. Your GSC™
has limitations even though it is engineered to a high level of toughness, all mechanical and electronic systems have
built in limits for safety and effective operation. Excessively aggressive acceleration and braking will place
uncontrolled strain on the drive system, shortening its service life.
Never ride down hills that put your safety and GSC™ Tourer control at risk. High-speed collisions will do damage! Never
ride down hills that need prolonged, excessive harsh braking.
Maximum speed, range and stopping distance depend on your weight, the riding surface, incline, and wind direction
so use your common sense. Like riding a bicycle you need to feel the brakes and be in control at all times not slamming
the brakes on to harshly and wondering why you may have lost control.
