Transmitter Information
IMPORTANT
PRACTICE IN AN OPEN SPACE AWAY FROM OBSTRUCTIONS
Study your handset and learn the functions below. Later in this manual you will
find some advanced features. The ones below, however, will get you started.
Connect the battery and push the Manual/Remote switch to Remote (
I
) the
LED will switch from red to green.
NOTE:
If the battery is connected with the
rotary speed control turned up the machine will remain stationary and the
handle LED will flash red and green until enabled by first winding the rotary
speed control back to zero.
NOTE:
By starting the machine with either the left or right keys the RoboKaddy will
turn on the spot and stop as soon as you release your finger. This is ideal for getting
out of a tight corner. Please be aware that should the machine hit any obstruction in
this mode, you will need to help it out manually. Continuing to attempt the pirouette
when the RoboKaddy is stuck will result in damage to your machine.
Brake Keys –
There are two ways of stopping your RoboKaddy, for a gentle
controlled stop press the off key . For an emergency stop, press the central
emergency stop button .
Reverse –
Reverse is achieved by pressing either the off or emergency stop
keys and then pressing the minus key. Once in reverse you can steer left and
right too. Reverse has only one preset speed. To go into forward mode, you must
first press the off or emergency stop key.
l
Your RoboKaddy handset has been designed for ease of use whether you
are left or right handed.
l
Take time to practice the difference between a single touch of the key and
a prolonged push especially with left and right functions.
l
The clip on the back of the handset makes it ideal for clipping to a pocket
or belt. Don't store it in your pocket in case you accidentally engage any of
the remote modes.
l
Never store the handset in a pocket with, for instance, loose change.
Never allow the handset to get immersed in water.
l
The handset takes a replaceable 9 volt battery, you will need to remove the
two small screws on the back in order to replace it.
NOTE:
Do not use a rechargeable battery in the hand set as these batteries
do not give sufficient voltage for this hand set.
The rate at which course correction, i.e. left / right, is achieved will depend on
course conditions, speed and weight of the loaded bag.
Press this key once and the
RoboKaddy will start to move
in a forward direction. Keeping
your finger on the key will take the
RoboKaddy to maximum speed. As
soon as you release your finger the
RoboKaddy will continue at that speed.
Press this key to slow down
your RoboKaddy. As soon as
you release your finger the
RoboKaddy will continue at that speed.
Please note that this key will not stop
the trolley, it will take it only to the slow-
est speed.
A gentle push of this key will
turn the RoboKaddy left and
then continue straight in the
new direction. A prolonged push will
result in a tighter turn. You may have to
practice this to perfect it as load and
surface will affect the turn.
To turn right, the procedure is
exactly the same as described
in “left arrow”. Ensure you
practice both ways.
