What are the benefits of the push cart?
Why Walk? Bag Boy is reintroducing golfers to the way the game was intended to be played. When golfers walk the course while pushing their clubs, they achieve a greater feel for the game, receive a greater appreciation for the natural surroundings and gain priceless health benefits with the additional exercise.

Pushing Your Clubs will Save Your Back and Improve Your Game

Stay Healthy & Strong. After studying the issue in depth, the AJGA found that carrying a golf bag during a round of golf, especially among younger players, could potentially contribute to back injuries and fatigue. As a result, the AJGA now allows push carts during all competitions.
Score Better. In a recent study, their nine-hole averages were 40 with push cart, 43 when riding in the motor cart and 42 with a caddie. "It gets back to the idea that walking gives you a certain amount of time to think about a shot, to rehearse, go through the stuff. Where in a golf cart, you're holding on, then, boom, you've got to get up, go to the ball and make a decision pretty quickly." (source: Neil Wolkodoff, PhD, Director of Rose Center for Health and Sports Sciences)

Great for the mind and body. But don't take our word for it, here's what the experts say:

Lose Weight. Playing golf four times a week while walking the course expends nearly 8,000 more calories a week than golf cart riders. That's nine pounds over three months. (source: Golf Fitness Laboratory at Pitt Medical Center's Center for Sports Medicine)
Burn More Calories. Golfers burn more calories when they walk and push their clubs (718) than when they ride in a cart (411). When they walk, they travel about 2.5 miles, compared to 0.5 miles when they ride. (source: Neil Wolkodoff, PhD, Director of Rose Center for Health and Sports Sciences)
Improve Your Overall Health. Those who walk 36 holes a week will burn around 2,900 calories a week. Burning 2,500 calories a week improves your overall health by lowering your risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Live Longer. A person may gain two hours of life for every one hour of regular, vigorous exercise, like brisk walking. (source: New England Journal of Medicine)

How do you remove the front wheel from the Express Cart to change the inner tube?
To change the tube, first you have to take the wheel off the bracket.

Remove the two Phillips head screws on both sides of the bracket that hold the wheel. The wheel will slide out of the bracket.

Once the wheel is off the bracket, you can change the tube.

QUAD SERIES GENERAL ENQUIRIES

HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY LITHIUM BATTERY?
Your lithium battery leads, casing and connections should be regularly inspected for damage and wear. If your leads or connections are in need of repair or replacement, please contact your local MGI repair centre for assistance immediately.

Under no circumstances should a Lithium Battery that has been dropped, damaged or immersed in water be connected to a buggy or charger. By doing so you may create a fire hazard or risk the battery catching fire. Please contact the MGI Service Centre to arrange a replacement.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SERVICE MY BUGGY?
It is recommended to service your buggy every 6 months or every 250km to ensure optimal performance of your buggy. Please see the Preventative Maintenance Program that can be found in your user manual. Approved service centre locations can be found on the MGI website or by contacting us.

WHY IS THERE ONLY TWO BATTERY BARS DISPLAYING ON MY BATTERY INDICATOR WHEN FULLY CHARGED?
The latest software has two bars to indicate battery level. The top bar (blue) and the bottom bar (red). This is to provide a more accurate reading of the batteries level. Lithium batteries do not behave in the same manner as SLA batteries. SLA batteries will give an accurate reading using the four bar system when a lithium battery gives a more accurate reading using a two bar system. The two bars are illuminated whilst the battery has between 25% and 100% capacity. When the capacity drops to 25% then the bottom red bar is only illuminated. You will have roughly 30 minutes of play left.

WHEN CHARGING MY REMOTE, WHY IS THE LEFT HAND LED ON THE MGI NAVIGATOR QUAD GYRO REMOTE FLASHING NOT THE RIGHT?
When your remote battery needs recharging the RIGHT LED will flash red. When connected to the charger the LEFT LED will flash green. If battery is very low RIGHT LED will flash red before the LED on the LEFT will begin flashing green.

To check the level of battery life in your remote control connect buggy to power. Press a button on the remote to ensure connection with the buggy. The battery indicator will display remotes battery level on the top of the screen.
