SUPERBUG

DESCENT CONTROL,

 if the set speed of the Superbug is too fast to negotiate a hill, 

engaging Descent Control can be activated by setting the speed control to minimum 

i.e. fully towards you.  Descent control will then limit the speed of the trolley

LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION

 protects the battery from damage as a result of being 

excessively discharged.  The effect of this is that if the batter voltage drops below 21V 

+/- 0.5V, the trolley will stop.  Just prior to it stopping a vibration may be felt through 

the trolley - again this is a normal function of the trolley.

Superbug:

The Superbug has a full power button which when pressed allows you to apply 

full power should you need it for any reason. When released the speed resets 

automatically to the cruise control setting.

Superbug D200:

The Superbug D200 functions in the same way as the Superbug  but has a more 

powerful motor for very steep courses and instead of a full power button as on the 

Superbug the function of this button is an electronic brake, This is in addition to the 

descent control which is standard on all models. The electronic brake can be utilized in 

the following ways.
If the hill is very steep and requires additional braking the brake button can be 

switched on and off repeatedly in order to control the speed of the descent or 

alternatively the brake button can simply be switched on and the trolley will make its 

descent at a slow crawl.
Please ensure that on starting the Superbug D200 you do not leave the brake engaged 

as the trolley will not start.

Superbug Remote:

The auxilliary button now is used to toggle the trolley between Remote and Manual 

Modes.  In Manual Mode the trolley works in exactly the same way as Superbug.  In 

Remote Mode the trolley may also be controlled by using the supplied transmitter.
The transmitter provides controls for forward, reverse, left, right,

stop, accelerate and decelerate functions. 
Braking in manual mode:
Normal slopes 
• 

The red button in addition to engaging the remote will 

 

serve to slow the trolley down on a normal slope, simply 

 

push it down whilst you are going downhill and the 

 

trolley will slow to a low speed.
