3.0 Assembling Your Buggy
3.1 Attaching the Rear Wheels
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.
MGI Zip X4 User Manual 0504

3.2 Rear Wheels Positions
The MGI Zip buggy 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 buggy.
The free wheel position is used to freely push the buggy should
you experience battery or buggy 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, 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 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.
3.3 Unfolding
Please see below
the steps to unfold
a Zip Buggy Handle.
Step 7: Push the top bag support down to move it into position.
MGI Zip X4 User Manual 0706
Free wheel position
Drive position Step 1: Ensure both rear
wheels are attached.
Step 2: Release fold lever.
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 6: Close the fold lever to lock
the handle into place in one
of three positions.
Step 5: Ensure that
the latch at the bottom
of the handle clicks into
place.
Step 3: Move the top
bag support away from
front wheel assembly until
you hear it click.

3.5 Fourth Foldable Rear Wheel
The MGI Zip X4 comes standard with a fourth foldable rear wheel.
This wheel MUST be unfolded and extended into position at all
times when the buggy is in use. This will reduce damage to the
buggy, and provide the ultimate stability across all terrains. This
forth wheel should be cleaned regularly with a cloth to ensure it
can be folded and retracted 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, 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. To remove the GPS
from the holder, hold the button until the wings separate from the
devise. To remove the GPS holder from the folding panel lid, push
the GPS holder outwards using your two thumbs underneath the
holder until it disconnects from the top box lid.
3.7 Inverting Rear Wheels
The rear wheels can be inverted on the axle to reduce the size of
the buggy 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.

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.

base of the golf bag.

MGI Zip X4 User Manual 1312
6.0 Front Wheel Alignment
During the life of your buggy, it may require a realignment to
ensure it tracks straight on flat surfaces. Follow these instructions
to correct the front wheel alignment of the buggy.
Step 1: Release and turn the lever to loosen the front wheel.
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 buggy to track more to the left or the
right.
Roll the left or right hand side silver thumb screw UP to straighten
the buggy more to the LEFT.
Roll the left or right hand side silver thumb screw DOWN to
straighten the buggy more to the RIGHT.
You can roll the screws simultaneously or individual to achieve the
desired alignment.
Step 3: Once alignment is set, turn the lever and tighten. Then
close the lever.
TIP: When adjusting the front wheel and testing the alignment,
ensure the buggy is run on a flat, smooth surface like a carpark.
6.1 USB Charging Port
The buggy comes with the added convenience of a USB charging
port to keep your devices powered across the golf course. To charge
your remote control, GPS device or phone, use a USB power cord to
connect your device to the USB charging port located underneath
the digital top box.

7.5 Electronic Park Brake
The MGI Zip X4 brake has an Electronic Park Brake [EPB] which

2. Only use the EPB on large slopes when the buggy cannot
stand still by simply stopping the buggy.
3. Do not use the EPB on flat surfaces to conserve battery life.

5. Simply use the on/off control when stopping on flat terrain or
during longer breaks on the course.
7.6 Downhill Speed Control
The downhill speed control feature is activated automatically
as the buggy enters a downhill incline. This feature is due to the
differential gearbox.
Tips on understanding the Downhill Speed Control
It is best to turn the speed down to a low speed before entering
the downhill terrain.
The buggy may gain some speed downhill but will not increase
beyond control.

MGI Zip X4 User Manual 1918
9.0 Preventative Maintenance Program
To properly provide for the continued operation of your MGI
Zip buggy, 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 motorised buggy, 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.
9.1 Cleaning Your MGI Zip Buggy [See Maintenance Schedule]
For years of good operation, your buggy requires care and
attention:
• Keep your buggy clean by using a cloth with warm water
and a mild detergent.
• Do not hose down your buggy under any circumstance, as
the buggy has electronic components.
• Ensure that the seat stem bracket is free from sand.
• Do not submerge your buggy in water as it will cause
irreparable damage.
• Clean the buggy battery base when the battery is removed
from the buggy.
9.2 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 monthly.
9.3 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 form the upper bag
support.
• Undo and remove the screws holding the strap in position on
the bag support.
• Remove and replace both bag straps.
• Insert bag strap securing screws.
9.4 MGI Service Schedule
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all periodical checks,
necessary adjustments and services are carried out. If in doubt
please contact the MGI service centre on 1300 644 523. Any work
performed on your buggy should be recorded on your service
record (see page 21) regardless of the work.
