BUGGY OPERATION
Your G3 buggy is fitted with three switches on the front part of the body:

A key operated ignition switch – insert the key and rotate clockwise to
turn on the ignition
o
This should be turned off when the buggy is not in use.
 A forward reverse switch
o
Only change the position of the switch whilst the buggy is
stationary. Changing the position while the buggy is moving will
have no effect until the buggy stops.
 A High / Low speed switch
o
There are two forward speeds – low speed should be used for flat
terrain, and high for hills;
o
There is a single reverse speed, so the switch has no effect when
going backwards.
The buggy has a twist-grip throttle fitted to the right hand side of the handlebars,
which incorporates three lights to indicate the state of battery charge:
 Twist the grip gently towards you to gradually increase speed. Releasing
the grip will stop the motor
 Battery condition lights
o
When all three lights are lit (Red, Amber and Green) the batteries
are fully charged;
o
When Amber and Red are lit, batteries are at half charge;
o
When only the Red light is illuminated, the batteries are virtually
flat.

In normal use, the buggy will easily cover 36 holes of golf on a full charge.
We recommend that the buggy is put on charge overnight after each time
it is used.
The battery compartment cover incorporates two charging points:

Plug the battery charger connector into either of the charging points, and
then connect the charger to a 240v mains supply (a normal UK mains
supply). NB either can be used, and it is not necessary to use both. All 6
batteries are charged simultaneously.

The battery charger is fitted with two indicator lights:
o
Two red lights indicates that the charger is connected to the mains
and the batteries are charging;
