MGI Zip X3 User Manual

3.1 Attaching the Rear Wheels

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.

Step 1: Ensure both rear wheels are attached.

Step 2: On the wheel, press the grey release button on the wheel hub. Place the wheel onto the axle, matching the inner female groove on the axle with the male part of the wheel. When placed in position, release the button. You will hear a “click” when the wheel is properly secured. To check, pull on the wheel; it should not slide off if properly secured. Repeat for the other wheel.

3.2 Rear Wheels Positions

The MGI Zip X3 allows the rear wheels to be in two positions, determined by which of the two grooves on the axle the wheel is locked into. The drive position is used during normal operation. The free wheel position is used to push the Zip X3 freely if battery or other issues occur on the course.

• Drive position: Lock the wheel onto the groove closest to the battery base. Press the grey release button, push the wheel onto the axle as far as possible. To test, try rolling the wheel backwards; resistance indicates it is in drive position. Repeat for both wheels.
• Free wheel: Lock the wheel into the groove closest to the end of the axle. Press the grey release button, push the wheel onto the axle, and release the button onto the groove. To test, try rolling the wheel backwards; it should spin freely with no resistance. Repeat for both wheels.

3.3 Unfolding

Follow these steps to unfold the Zip X3 Handle:

1. Ensure both rear wheels are attached.
2. Release the Fold Lever.
3. Move the Top Bag Support away from the front wheel assembly until you hear it click.
4. The handle is now free to pull upwards. It will naturally unfold as you continue to pull until completely open.
5. Ensure that the latch at the bottom of the handle clicks into place.
6. Close the fold lever to lock the handle into place in one of three positions.
7. Push the top bag support down to move it into position.

3.4 Folding

1. Disconnect the battery by lifting the battery handle. It can be left on or removed from the Zip X3.
2. Open the fold lever to release the handle.
3. Pull up the latch at the bottom of the handle.
4. Lower the handle down flat.
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. Close the fold lever to lock the handle into place.

3.5 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 to reduce damage and provide 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 X3 when folded. To invert the rear wheels, press the grey release button on the wheel hub and remove the wheel from the axle. Invert the rear wheels so that the wheel hub protrudes away from the axles. Press the grey release button on the wheel hub and release once the wheel is fitted onto the axle.

4.1 Initial Charge

• Before using your MGI Zip X3 for the first time, you must fully charge the battery overnight.
• Plug the charger AC lead into a power point; the Green LED illuminates to indicate the charger is powered on.
• Plug the charger output connection into the connector on the front of the battery; the Red LED illuminates to indicate charging.

9.1 Warranty Policy

The MGI Zip X3 is covered by a limited 3-year manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase. Duration of this warranty is:

• 3 years on parts*
• 3 years on Lithium batteries and chargers

*MGI or an authorised service centre will repair or replace any parts found to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use, provided that:

1. The MGI Zip X3 has been properly used, maintained, and regularly serviced [see section 10.5].
2. The replacement or repair is performed by an authorised MGI service centre or the owner with MGI approval.
3. The Zip X3 has been registered online.

MGI 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 they 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 warranty:

• Any alteration performed by non-authorised 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.
• Damage caused by partial or complete ingress of water into the motor/gearbox and other major components.
• Damage caused by the unit being driven into bunkers, other course hazards, or clubhouse and carpark hazards.
• Damage caused by golf balls or golf clubs.
• Application of external force to any part of the unit or battery.
• Fusion of motor or electronics through overload or continual stationary operation.
• All implied warranties (save those preserved by statute) are excluded.
• Liability for consequential damages under any and all warranties are excluded to the extent exclusion is permitted by law.

In the event of submersion in water (partial or full) of a motorised buggy, MGI advises the complete write-off of your buggy. The cost of replacing water-damaged components (including labour) exceeds the price of a replacement buggy.

If you elect to purchase replacement components (e.g., motors, gearbox, motor controller, and electronics), MGI advises the replacement of ALL components simultaneously. Replacing individual components on a water-damaged buggy 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., tyres, 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 motorised Zip X3's warranty period shall consist of the duration of the Zip X3's warranty period, provided the warranty installation is performed by MGI, an authorised service centre, or the Zip X3 owner on approval. Replacement of parts under warranty will not extend the warranty of the Zip X3 or parts.

10.1 Cleaning Your Zip X3 [See Maintenance Schedule]

• For years of good operation, your Zip X3 requires care and attention.
• Keep your Zip X3 clean by using a cloth with warm water and a mild detergent.
• Do not hose down your Zip X3 under any circumstance, as it has electronic components.
• Ensure that the seat stem bracket is free from sand.
• Do not submerge your Zip X3 in water, as it will cause irreparable damage.
• Clean the Zip X3 battery base when the battery is removed from the Zip X3.

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 pulling off the wheel. Apply Petroleum Jelly or light grease to the stub axles. Use a very small amount, as grease can attract sand. If you play in sandy conditions, 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.
