Additional Functions
Tracking Adjustment:
Tracking behavior of all electric caddies is strongly dependent
on equal weight distribution on the caddy and slope/topography of the golf course.
Test your caddy’s tracking behavior by operating it on an even surface without the bag.
If changes are necessary, you can adjust the
tracking of your caddy by loosening the front
wheel axle and shifting the front wheel as
needed. After adjustment, fasten screws in
reverse order. Note:
DO NOT
over tighten the
nuts.
Note:
There is a video on our website

to adjust tracking
Braking System
The caddy drive train is designed to keep the wheels engaged with the motor, thus acting as a
brake that will control the caddy’s speed while going downhill.
Testing Your Caddy
Test Environment
Make sure that you perform your first test of the caddy in a wide and safe area, free of obstructions
or valuables, such as people, parked automobiles, flowing traffic, bodies of water (rivers, swimming
pools, etc.), steep hills, cliffs or similar hazards.
Manual Control Operation
Test the manual function first: Press the On/Off button for 2-5 seconds. The manual functions of
the caddy are controlled through the speed control dial (rheostat) on the top of the handle. Turning
the wheel clockwise will control the forward movement of the caddy. In order to slow down or stop
the caddy, turn the wheel counterclockwise.
Remote Control Operation
(X3R Only)
Make sure you are close to the caddy at all times while testing it and familiarizing
yourself with the remote control!
Turn on the main power switch and make sure that the
speed dial control (rheostat) is in the OFF position. One press of the Forward/Backward arrows
on the remote control starts the caddy in either direction. Further presses increase the speed.
In order to stop the caddy, press the round red STOP button in the middle of the remote.
To turn the caddy in either direction while moving, press the left or right arrows briefly. Once
you release the button, the caddy will continue in the current direction at the same speed prior
to the turning command. You will notice that the caddy reacts differently on different surfaces,
so it will take some practice to get just the right touch for turning maneuvers. The remote is
designed to have a reach of approximately 80-100 yards, but we strongly recommend to operate
the caddy in closer ranges of 10-30 yards (not exceeding 50 yards) to be able to react quickly to
any unforeseen events, i.e., other golfers crossing your path, or to avoid hidden obstructions such
as creeks, bunkers, or uneven ground, etc. or an unexpected disconnection in remote operation.
