Motocaddy golf trolleys are designed to work with the BMS system installed in the Lithium batteries and the voltage meter is also synchronised to work in conjunction with the battery. If for any reason the voltage on the battery falls below the low battery warning on the trolley, then the BMS may disable the battery to protect it.
Attaching the Wheels / Inverting the Wheels Attaching the Wheels There is a left and a right wheel and it is important that you attach them on the correct side, otherwise the trolley will not move. There is an “L” and “R” on the inside of the wheel on the central hub.
