Testing Your Caddy
Remote Control Operation (X4R Only)
The remote is designed to have a maximum reach of 80-100 yards, but we strongly
recommend to operate the caddy in closer ranges of 10-20 yards (not exceeding 30 yards)
to be able to react quickly to any unforeseen events, such as 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. An additional safety feature of this caddy is
that it will stop moving if it does not receive a signal from the remote control at least every
45 seconds. This way should you ever be distracted, your caddy does not completely get
away. By pressing the lower Timer button on the remote, the caddy can be moved forward
automatically by 10, 20, or 30 yards. STOP will make the caddy stop in case of overreach.
Do not use this function close to water or other hazards. Never park your caddy facing water
or roads!
Recommendations for Efficient and Safe Operation
• Be alert and act responsibly at all times while operating your caddy, just as you would
when operating a riding cart, motor vehicle, or any other type of machinery. We absolutely
do not recommend the consumption of alcohol or any other impairing substances
while operating our caddies.
• DO NOT operate the caddy carelessly or in narrow or dangerous places. Avoid using your
caddy in places where people may gather, such as parking lots, drop-off areas, or practice
areas, to avoid damage to people or valuables. We recommend operating your caddy
manually in crowded areas with or without power. Please make sure to always switch
off the power and secure the caddy when you are through or when not in use.
• The caddy (X4R) is equipped with an automatic runaway prevention feature. It will
automatically stop if it does not receive a signal from the remote for about 45 seconds. A
quick press of the forward button will put it in motion again.
• With its optimized balance and straight front wheel, the caddy usually has responsive
turning and maneuvering abilities. However, it sometimes tends to react to uneven weight
distribution of its load or slope variations and will follow the weight and the slope of the
course, which is normal for electric caddies. Please make sure that the weight in your bag
is distributed evenly (move heavy balls and items to both sides equally and to the upper
part of your bag, or shift the bag on the caddy). Also, when operating you caddy, anticipate
the slope of the course in order to avoid frequent corrections in direction. When the need
for complicated correction adjustment maneuvers, such as very uneven terrain, steep
hills, narrow and/or sloped cart paths, muddy areas, gravel paths, close to bunkers and
hazard, around bushes and trees it is strongly recommended to steer the caddy manually
with the handle while adjusting the speed with the remote. When operating the caddy
often in bumpy terrain we recommend to add an additional bungee strap to the lower and/
or upper bag support to give the golf bag additional hold and prevent it from shifting.
• Please avoid or minimize operation on hard and rough surfaces, such as cart paths,
asphalt roads, gravel roads, root etc., as this will cause unnecessary wear and tear on
tires, wheels and other components. Guide the caddy manually when on cart paths
with curbs. Bumping into hard objects might cause damage to wheels and other
components! The caddy is best operated on soft and smooth surfaces such as fairways.
