Do what??????? 3 golf batteries? sensitive? yes as most electrical things are and especially cards and choppers. The unit should have a pump cut card located on it. Do this.......... back probe the positive and negative cables off the batteries with volt meter and when driving it under load ( hard accel) what do the volts drop to? The hydro pump will be the big energy user Approx 350 amp dead headed. I am not sure what AH rating those batteries have but it isnt helping the situation. It will be hard to diagnose problem without proper battery and amp hour rating. Never seen a set up with golf batteries before on a sitdown rider as such. I am suspecting unit is dropping contactors due to low voltage as the golfers cant keep up. The golfers are cannot maintain a constant and reliable voltage range due to capcity is what i am thinking. You do not want more than 3 to 4 volt drop when accelerating. The pump cut card works by kind of averaging the voltage and going into cut. Let me know what the voltage drops to. There sould be a switch on dash thats marked power /eco. Perform the test set on power.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
