MAINTENANCE SERVICE MANUAL 1. Foreword Congratulations on the purchase of your SL150c, SL350c or SL550c Buggy. To ensure continued efficiency of your MGI motorised buggy, regular maintenance at periodic intervals is essential. For guidance, this booklet contains a schedule applicable to the maintenance required at the appropriate times and a service record. 2.
Or in respect of: b. MGI SL350c and MGI SL550c. For a period of 12 month’s in respect of the electronics, wheels, clutches, drive dogs, axles, battery and charger and 24 months in respect of the frame, motor and gearbox, MGI or an authorised service centre or person will repair or replace free of charge any parts found to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use provided that: 1.

10. Rear Wheel Axles [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 your axle and regrease fortnightly.
14. MGI Service Schedule [SL150c]: 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 9) regardless of the work.

The wheels are marked ‘L’ and ‘R’ on the inside of the hub. The left and right of the buggy is determined by looking from the rear of the buggy. You will need to align the four slots on the inside of the wheel with the same four on the drive dog on the axle.
