MGI Zip Navigator setup: folding, calibrating and the manual

Which Zip Navigator do you have?

MGI sells the Zip Navigator and an all-terrain version, the Zip Navigator AT. Check the label or your invoice before looking up instructions, because the document that matches your model is the one to follow. We list both in our walk-behind range.

Weight and carry capacity

The Zip Navigator AT weighs 16.5kg and the Zip Navigator 13.0kg, against 11.75kg for the X5, 11.25kg for the X3 and 10kg for the X1. Zip series buggies have a carry capacity of 20kg, and MGI advises against exceeding it because it may damage the buggy.

Fitting your golf bag

MGI buggies are designed for a cart bag.

• •1. Lock the handle into its highest position.
• •2. Lower the top bag support into position.
• •3. If you use a stand bag or another brand of cart bag, add a bag block or bag rest spacer for a snug fit.

Register the buggy

Registering speeds up servicing and warranty handling.

• •1. Find the serial number: it is 15 letters and numbers, at the base of the battery mount and inside the top box storage compartment.
• •2. Register it on the MGI website at mgigolf.com/tools/register and follow the prompts.

First charge and care

Charge a new battery for at least eight hours or overnight before first use, until the charger light turns green, and recharge the remote at the same time as the main battery. Do not leave the battery handle engaged after you finish playing, because it drains the battery.

Servicing

MGI recommends a service every 12 months or 500km, following the Preventative Maintenance Program in your user manual. Approved service centre locations are listed on the MGI website.

Folding and motor trimming

MGI does not publish folding or motor-trimming steps on its FAQ pages. Those are in the owner's manual and in the PDF and video MGI links from its troubleshooting pages for the Zip Navigator and Navigator AT, so use those for your model.
