🔍 Wait? What is the EMB switch?
The "Manual EMB" switch on a golf cart refers to the Manual Electromagnetic Brake. It is used to temporarily disengage the electromagnetic parking brake, allowing the cart to be manually pushed or towed without power.
Specifically, the Manual EMB switch performs the following function:
- It provides power directly to the electromagnetic brake (EMB) to release it. This allows the wheels to spin freely so the cart can be pushed or towed.
- It is intended for situations when you need to manually move the cart, such as pushing it out of a tight spot or towing it behind another vehicle.
- Leaving the Manual EMB switch on (the GREEN “Manual EMB” position on your Rover XL) for an extended period will slowly drain the battery, as it is providing constant power to disengage the brake. Therefore, it should only be used temporarily when manually moving the cart.
- With the switch in the normal "OFF" position, the electromagnetic brake automatically engages when the cart comes to a stop, preventing it from rolling.
