Assembling Your Zip X1

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.

1. Step 1.  Each wheel is labeled 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 X1. Left or right sides are determined when standing behind the Zip X1 as pictured above.
2. 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 the position it will not slide off. Repeat for the other wheel.

Rear Wheels Positions
The MGI Zip X1 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 X1. The free wheel position is used to freely push the Zip X1 should you experience battery or Zip X1 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, 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.
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 onto the axle and release 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.

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

1. Step 1 : Ensure both rear wheels are attached.

2. Step 2:  Release Fold Lever.

3. Step 3: Move Top Bag Support away from front wheel assembly until you hear it click.

4. 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.

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

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

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

Folding

1. Step 1:  Disconnect the battery by lifting the battery handle. It can be left on or removed from the Zip X1.

2. Step 2:  Open the folding lever to release the handle.

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

4. Step 4:  Lower the handle down flat.

5. 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.

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

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.
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.

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

• MGI 24v 250Wh Lithium battery [Standard]

Front Wheel Alignment

During the life of your Zip X1, it may require a realignment to ensure it tracks straight on flat surfaces. Follow these instructions to correct the front wheel alignment of the Zip X1.

1. Step 1:  Release and turn the lever to loosen the front wheel.
2. Step 2:  There are two silver thumb screws located on either side of the front wheel. Adjusting these screws will help straighten the alignment by correcting the Zip X1 to track more to the left or the right. Roll the left or right-hand side silver thumb screw UP to straighten the Zip X1 more to the LEFT. Roll the left or right-hand side silver thumb screw DOWN to straighten the Zip X1 more to the RIGHT. You can roll the screws simultaneously or individually to achieve the desired alignment.
3. Step 3:  Once alignment is set, turn the lever and tighten it. Then close the lever.

TIP:  When adjusting the front wheel and testing the alignment, ensure the Zip X1 is run on a flat, smooth surface like a carpark.

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.

In the event of submersion in water (partial or full) of your Zip X1; MGI advises the complete write-off of your Zip X1.
The cost of replacing the water-damaged components (including labor) exceeds the price of a replacement Zip X1. 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 X1 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.

Parts Installed During Warranty
Warranty coverage for components installed during a motorized Zip X1’s warranty period shall consist of the duration of the Zip X1’s warranty period provided the warranty installation is performed by MGI, an authorized service center, or the Zip X1 owner on approval. Replacement of parts under warranty will not extend the warranty of the Zip X1 or parts.
Warranties are non-transferable. The warranty applied to a product, on purchase, is limited to the original purchaser.

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.

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.
