Assembling Your Zip X3

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.

Step 1. Each wheel is labelled with L or R for left or right. This is very important as the wheels must be placed on the correct side of the Zip X3. Left or right sides are determined when standing behind the Zip X3 as pictured below.

Step 2. On the wheel, press the grey release button on the wheel hub. Place the wheel onto the axle.You will notice you 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 will notice 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. Rear Wheels Positions
The MGI Zip X3 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 X3. The free wheel position is used to freely push the Zip X3 should you experience battery or Zip X3 issues on the course.
Drive position
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, 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. 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 on to the axle and release 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

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.

Folding

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.

Fourth Foldable Rear Wheel
The MGI Zip X3 comes standard with a fourth foldable rear wheel. This wheel MUST be unfolded into position at all times when the Zip X3 is in use. This will reduce damaging the Zip X3, 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.
GPS Holder and Top Handle Compartment

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 .
Inverting Rear wheels
The rear wheels can be inverted on the axle to reduce the size of the Zip X3 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.
