SUPERBUG
Step 5 : Position the Golf Bag
Undo the top and bottom straps, rest the golf bag on the
mounts and tighten the straps arond the top and bottom
of the bag. It is important to ensure that the bag is
securely attached as the bag braces the Superbug handle
and is integral to the rigidity of the Superbug.
Position the golf bag centrally so that the weight is
proportionate.
Superbug is now ready for seriously relaxed golf.
Before first use it is vital that the battery is charged for at least 8 hours to ensure that the
maximum charge level is attained. See the later section “Charging the Batteries”.
All Superbug Models:
All Superbugs incorporate a the features SAFE START, CRUISE CONTROL,
DESCENT CONTROL
and
LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION
.
SAFE START
prevents the motor from driving the trolley until it is pushed. If the
Superbug is stationary when the power is switched on
nothing will happen
until the
user pushes the trolley forwards to approximately 1kph.
The recommended starting procedure is as follows:
• Turn the speed control to minimum - towards you
• Turn both power switches to the on “I” position.
• Push the Superbug forwards until the motor begins to drive (usually within 1/4 to
1/2 metre) and then adjust the speed of the trolley to your preferred walking pace
by means of the speed control.
To stop the trolley turn one of the power switches to the off “O” position. When you
want to continue just turn the power on and push the trolley - it will resume at the same
speed that it was last set to.
CRUISE CONTROL . Cruise control maintains the speed of the trolley irrespective
of terrain, you do not need to continually adjust the speed control of the trolley when
going up or down hills to hold a constant speed.
This is very noticable on undulating fairways when the trolley cuts power when going
down an undulation and applies power as it starts to go up hill - this is a normal
function of the trolley.
