Your PowaKaddy trolley is simple to maintain. 
Never jet wash your trolley or immerse into water.  Occasionally remove the wheels and apply grease to the axle and moving parts.
Your serial number can be found on the underside of the central tube under the upper bag stay.  Keep a note of the serial number for reference in the 

box provided above.
 

Maintenance

Freeway
Range
Owners Manual  

The FW7s EBS is the most advanced model in the Freeway range 
with an electronic braking system this model is the ultimate machine for all 
conditions.

The FW7s EBS has the added advantage of an Electronic Braking System (EBS) for hill 
descent control. 

The brake function is activated by rolling the central control knob counter-clockwise until 
you go below zero. The EBS logo will appear next to the power setting to indicate the 
braking function, which will display between 1, 2 and 3 indicating the level of braking 
force being applied, 3 being the highest.

WARNING! 

EBS is an assisted braking system for hill descent not a 100% parking brake.  The trolley must 

be powered on and the wheels engaged with the clutch for the braking system to function.  The drive system 
uses a limited slip differential to allow braking and provide ease of manoeuvrability.  Try to avoid traversing a 
steep hill as the load of the trolley will mostly be applied to the lower wheel on the slope, and may cause the 
higher wheel to slip.  If your trolley loses traction and the wheels start to spin apply more even pressure on 
the handle to increase traction of both wheels.  Engage the braking progressively as you descend a slope. 
Caution: Wet or lose ground can cause the wheels to lock and slip on steep slopes.  When using the maximum 
braking force, always maintain a firm grip on the handle to assist the trolley and avoid injury or damage.

*In normal conditions the Extended batteries will do 36 holes when used on a 

PowaKaddy trolley. Conditions such as long or exceptionally hilly courses, wet 

ground conditions and excessively heavy golf bags may reduce the range of the 

battery. Most lead acid batteries reach the end of their life in the second or third 

season and often without any apparent reason. Very hot or cold weather does 

not help. Even batteries that are treated identically have different life spans. 

Please note the Extended lead acid battery is not available on the Plug’n’Play™ 

system although an adaptor plate is provided.   

 

Your FW trolley features an innovative Plug’n’Play™ battery system. To maximise 
your battery life please take time to read the following battery care and charging 
instructions.

Batteries available are as follows:

Standard 18Hole   Extended 36Hole*   Lithium 18Hole   Lithium Extended 36Hole*

  

Leave the battery on charge even when not in regular use to maintain optimum life and performance. It is perfectly safe to leave the battery 
plugged in on charge. Once the green light illuminates the charger will use virtually no electricity but guarantee you a fully charged battery for your 
next round.

New Lead-Acid batteries can sometimes take 2-3 rounds of golf before they become fully ‘activated’. We have found that on rare occasions there 
is not enough capacity to complete a full round of golf. Our advice is to play only 9 holes on the their first outing. 

Always recharge your battery (12 Hours Minimum) within 24 hours of use, no matter how many holes played. Never leave your battery in a 
discharged condition for prolonged periods, this will reduce the life of the battery and your charger may be unable to recharge it. 

Only charge your Plug’n’Play Lithium battery with the isolation switch in the ON (1) position. 

Never leave your lead acid battery connected to the trolley for prolonged periods when not in use, this will discharge the battery and the 
charger will not be capable of re-charging.

Ensure your Lithium battery isolation switch is in the OFF (0) position when the battery is connected but not in use. for example during 
transportation.

Never expose the charger to rain, moisture or damp, if you suspect any of these have occurred then do not use the charger.

Never use the charger or battery if the leads, contacts or casings are damaged.

Never submerge the Lithium battery in water. To clean use a lightly dampened cloth. IMPORTANT - if submerged under water or if water may 
have entered due to damage to casing, DO NOT USE the battery.  Place outdoors in a non-combustible container covered in sand well away 
from other flammable material, and contact PowaKaddy or your Local Authority for further advice. 

Always place the charger on a hard flat heat resistant surface.  Do not wrap or cover as the charger generates heat during use. 

Avoid charging your Lithium battery in temperatures below 0 ˚C or expose the battery to temperatures below -5 ˚C or above 40 ˚C.

Important Safety Information about Batteries & Chargers

Only charge your battery using the compatible PowaKaddy charger provided with your battery.  A mismatch of battery and charger could cause
damage. 

Never discharge your battery other than in normal use on the trolley.

Always check with your airline before attempting to transport batteries by air. 

If the battery is to be not used for a period of 3 months or more then it is ok to remove from charge. Always fully recharge the battery (minimum 
24 hours).  Our advice is to store in a cool dry place. Thereafter recharge the battery once a month.

Please refer to the product labels on your battery and charger for more information.  At the end of the battery’s life dispose at your local recycling 
centre.

The charger has two lights, when connecting a discharged battery the red light will illuminate, the green light will illuminate during the charging 
cycle, this does not mean the charge has finished, the battery must remain on charge for a minimum of 12 Hours.  Never leave the charger 

connected to the battery with the mains supply switched off.
