 Assembling Your Zip Navigator

3.1 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 on 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 the position it will not slide off. Repeat for the other wheel.

3.2 Rear Wheels Positions
The MGI Zip Navigator 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. The free wheel position is used to freely push the Zip Navigator should you experience battery or Zip Navigator issues on the course.

i. 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, and push the wheel onto the axle as far as possible. To test for drive position try rolling the wheel backward. If you feel resistance then the wheel is now in a drive position and ready to use. Repeat for both wheels.
ii. 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 onto the axle and push the release button onto the groove. To test for free wheel position try rolling the wheel backward. The wheel should spin freely with no resistance. Repeat for both wheels.

3.3 Unfolding
Please see below the steps to unfold a Zip X1 Handle.

Step 1 : Ensure both rear wheels are attached.
Step 2: Release Fold Lever.

Step 3: Move 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.

3.4 Folding

Step 1: Disconnect the battery by lifting the battery handle. It can be left on or removed from the Zip X1.
Step 2: Open the folding lever to release the handle.
Step 3: Pull up the latch at the bottom of the handle.
Step 4: Lower the handle down 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 folding lever to lock the handle into place.

3.5 Fourth Foldable Rear Wheel
The MGI Zip X1 comes standard with a fourth foldable rear wheel. This wheel MUST be unfolded into position at all times when the Zip X1 is in use. This will reduce damaging the Zip X1, and provide the ultimate in stability across all terrains. This fourth wheel should be cleaned regularly with a cloth to ensure it can be folded as required for storage.
3.6 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 the holder always 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.

3.7 Inverting Rear wheels
The rear wheels can be inverted on the axle to reduce the size of the Zip X1 when folded. To invert the rear wheels, press the grey release button on the hub of the wheel and remove it from the axle. Invert the rear wheels so that the hub of the wheel protrudes away from the axles. Press the grey release button on the hub of the wheel and release once the wheel is fitted onto the axle.

Battery Charging & Connection

The MGI Zip Navigator can only be used with the:

• MGI 24v 380Wh Lithium battery

4.1 Initial Charge

4.3 Charging the Battery after use

• Disconnect the battery by lifting the handle.
• The battery can be left on or removed from the Zip Navigator for charging.

Fitting a Golf Bag

Ensure that the top bag support straps are disconnected. Position the golf bag on the Zip Navigator. Secure the top bag support strap

• Select a good position for the elasticized straps to be put around the golf bag.
• Stretch the longer end of the strap and loop the rounded plastic bar underneath the hook on the shorter end.
• The top bag support straps should now be connected.

Please ensure the top bag support straps are hooked in place securely before releasing. Failure to do so could result in injury to the user.

7.1 Charging Your Remote Control
Before you start using your Zip Navigator you must fully charge the remote control internal lithium-ion battery for approximately 6 hours or overnight using the USB cord provided. The top left UNLOCK button will flash while charging. When a full charge is complete, the green light will stay on and stop flashing.
To charge the remote, plug the USB cord into the USB port at the base of the remote as pictured in the diagram. The cable then needs to be plugged into your PC or Laptop for charging. Alternatively, you can plug the cable into an AC adaptor [not provided].

We recommend recharging your remote battery when recharging your main battery.

7.3 Down Arrow
The down arrow decreases the speed and initiates reverse. If you are moving forward, the down arrow can be used to decrease speed, the longer the pressure, the slower the speed.

control, irrespective of the speed level indicated on the display, the Zip Navigator will always start at speed 2.

7.6 Keypad Unlock and Lock
The remote control has two buttons at the top which allow you to LOCK and UNLOCK the keypad. This will help eliminate accidental control when storing the remote in your pocket. The STOP button will continue to work when the LOCK feature is activated.

Gyroscope Straight Tracker Navigation System

The Zip Navigator is built with a Patented Gyroscope Straight Tracker Navigation System. This automatic feature ensures the Zip Navigator maintains its direction regardless of the terrain. The Zip Navigator will automatically brake or accelerate either wheel to maintain its direction.
When the Zip Navigator is controlled by the remote, the navigation system is always ON.
When the Zip Navigator is controlled manually, the navigation of the system is always OFF.
Tip: On a steep incline or if the Zip Navigator hits a divot or other object, the gradient may force the Zip Navigator offline. You do not need to adjust the Zip Navigator. The Zip Navigator will work its way back on course.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or
refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. This warranty is in addition to other rights and remedies available to the consumer under law. The consumer is responsible for expenses associated with a warranty claim. To make a warranty claim, cease using the goods immediately and contact MGI directly using the contact details on the back of this User Manual. Proof of purchase is mandatory.

9.2 Warranty Exclusions
The following events will void the warranty:

• Any alteration performed by non-authorized people or companies.
• Fitting of parts or accessories not recommended by MGI.
• Any damage caused by continued operation of the product after it is known to be defective.
• Damage to the seat and/or seat support bracket on the unit.

In the event of submersion in water (partial or full) of your Zip Navigator; MGI advises the complete write-off of your Zip Navigator.
The cost of replacing the water-damaged components (including labor) exceeds the price of a replacement Zip Navigator. 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 poses a higher risk of future failure of other components and therefore these parts will not be covered under warranty. Please note that MGI does not warrant water-damaged batteries and, due to fire risk, under no circumstances should they continue to be used.
The following events are not covered under warranty:
Normal wear and tear;
– (e.g. tires, rubber handlebar, elastic straps, paintwork, battery performance, axles threads, charging ports on batteries and remotes, screen glass, etc.)
– Minor appearance defects which bear no effect on the operation of the unit and are considered by the manufacturer to be within the accepted standards.

9.3 Parts Installed During Warranty
Warranty coverage for components installed during a motorized Zip Navigator’s warranty period shall consist of the duration of the Zip Navigator’s warranty period, provided the warranty installation is performed by MGI, an authorized service center, or the Zip Navigator owner on approval. Replacement of parts under warranty will not extend the warranty of the Zip Navigator or parts. Warranties are non-transferable. The warranty applied to a product, on purchase, is limited to the original purchaser.

Preventative Maintenance Program

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

10.1 Cleaning Your Zip Navigator [See Maintenance Schedule]
For years of good operation, your Zip Navigator requires care and attention:

• Keep your Zip Navigator clean by using a cloth with warm water and a mild detergent.
• Do not hose down your Zip Navigator under any circumstance, as the Zip Navigator has electronic components.
• Ensure that the seat stem bracket is free from sand.
• Do not submerge your Zip Navigator in water as it will cause irreparable damage.
• Clean the Zip Navigator battery base when the battery is removed from the Zip Navigator.

10.2 Rear Wheel Axles Maintenance [See Maintenance Schedule]
The rear wheel stub axles need to be lubricated regularly. Remove the rear wheels by depressing the spring clip and at the same time pull off the wheel. Apply Petroleum Jelly or light grease to the stub axles. Use a very small amount as the grease can attract sand. If you play in sandy conditions you should clean the axle and regrease fortnightly.

10.3 Upper and Lower Bag Strap Maintenance [See Maintenance Schedule]
The bag straps should be replaced as per the Service Schedule.
The upper bag strap can be replaced by:

• Removing the left and right-hand straps from the upper bag support.
