Assembling Your Zip Navigator AT

Attaching the Rear Wheels

First, lubricate both axles using the black grease cloth provided in the box. Lubrication of the axles should be performed regularly to keep your cart in optimal condition.

Press the grey release button on the wheel hub. Place the wheel onto the axle. You will need to match up the inner female groove on the axle and the male of the wheel. When placed in position simply release the button. You hear a “click” when the wheel is properly secured. To check that the wheel is properly in position pull on the wheel. If it is properly in position it will not slide off.
Repeat for the other wheel.

Attaching the Front Wheels

The two front wheels need to be attached to your MGI Zip Navigator AT. There is no difference between each front wheel so either can be placed on the left or right side. Simply line up the silver pin (with the black O Ring) on the front wheel with the Zip Navigator AT and push into the frame until you hear a positive click. A black button at the front of the Zip Navigator AT frame just above the wheel connection will pop out to confirm the wheel is in the correct position. You can test the wheel is in position by pulling firmly on the wheel. It should not move out of position.

Rear Wheels Positions

The MGI Zip Navigator AT is designed to allow the rear wheels to be in two positions. The position is determined by where the wheel is locked on the axle in either of the two grooves [see picture].
The drive position is used during the normal operation of the Zip Navigator AT. The free wheel position is used to freely push the Zip Navigator AT should you experience battery or Zip Navigator AT issues on the course.

1. Drive position – Lock the wheel onto the groove closest to the battery base. To do this, press the grey release button on the wheel hub, push the wheel on to the axle as far as possible. To test for drive position try rolling the wheel backwards. If you feel resistance then the wheel is now in drive position and ready to use. Repeat for both wheels.
2. Free wheel – Lock the wheel into the groove closest to the end of the axle. To do this, press the grey release button on the wheel hub, push the wheel on to the axle and push the release button onto the groove. To test for free wheel position try rolling the wheel backwards. The wheel should spin freely with no resistance.Repeat for both wheels.

Unfolding

Please see below the steps to unfold a Zip Navigator AT Handle.

• Step 1: Ensure both rear wheels are attached.

• Step 2: Release fold lever

• Step 3: Move the top bag support away from front wheel assembly until you hear it click.

• Step 4: The handle is now free to pull upwards. The handle will naturally unfold as you continue to pull until the handle is completely open.

• Step 5: Ensure that the latch at the bottom of the handle clicks into place.

• Step 6: Close the fold lever to lock the handle into place in one of three positions.

• Step 7: Push the top bag support down to move it into position.

Folding

• Step 1: Disconnect the battery by lifting the battery handle. It can be left on or removed from the Zip Navigator AT.

• Step 2: Open the fold lever to release the handle.

• Step 3: Pull the latch up at the bottom of the handle.

• Step 4: Lower the handle until flat

• Step 5: Push the toggle down on the top bag support and then move the top bag support down so that it locks over the front wheel assembly.
  

• Step 6: Close the fold lever to lock the handle into place.

Fifth Foldable Rear Wheel

The MGI Zip Navigator All Terrain comes standard with a fifth foldable and extendable rear wheel. This wheel MUST be unfolded and extended into position at all times when the Zip Navigator AT is in use. This will reduce damage to the Zip Navigator AT, and provide the ultimate stability across all terrains. This fifth wheel should be cleaned regularly with a cloth to ensure it can be folded and retracted as required for storage.

GPS Holder and Top Handle Compartment

In the top handle compartment there is a position for a GPS/ mobile device holder. Open the compartment and connect the holder into position. To open, press the button at the top of the holder. Place the GPS into the cradle, then close the holder by squeezing the two sides closer together.

Inverting Rear Wheels

‘The rear wheels can be inverted on the axle to reduce the size of the Zip Navigator AT when folded. To invert the rear wheels, press the grey release button on the wheels hub and remove from the axle. Invert the rear wheels so that the wheels hub protrudes away from the axles. Press the grey release button on the wheels hub and release once the wheel is fitted onto the axle.

Battery Charging & Connection

The MGI Zip Navigator All Terrain can only be used with the:

• MGI 24v 380Wh Lithium battery

The cost of replacing the water-damaged components (including labour) exceeds the price of a replacement Zip Navigator AT.

If you elect to purchase replacement components, i.e. motors, gearbox, motor controller and electronics, we advise the replacement of ALL components simultaneously. Replacing individual components on a water-damaged Zip Navigator AT poses a higher risk of future failure of other components and therefore these parts will not be covered under warranty.

Normal wear and tear;

Warranties are non-transferable. The warranty applied to a product, on purchase, is limited to the original purchaser.

To properly provide for the continued operation of your MGI Zip Navigator AT, MGI has introduced its Preventative Maintenance Program [PMP]. The PMP consists of work to be carried out by both the owner and authorised service centres. To maintain the warranty of your MGI Zip Navigator AT, it is essential that this work is carried out. If the work carried out by the authorised service centre is to replace parts that are part of the maintenance schedule, the owner will be charged for the parts and labour. If the work to be carried out is part of warranty, MGI will bear the cost.

Cleaning Your Zip Navigator AT [See Maintenance Schedule]

The bag straps should be replaced as per the Service Schedule.
The upper bag strap can be replaced by:
