Page 19: Power Controls & Operation
Power Controls and Operation Accelerator Speed is controlled by the Accelerator located between the handle grips. The decal indicates speed in relation to the Accelerator position. (Figure 8) Note: Turning the Accelerator all the way down does not turn off Power Controls, even if your X-Series is not moving. There is a feature, known in technical terms as “ramp up”, that automatically provides a gentle start at any setting up to, and including, full speed.
Page 20 Figure...
Page 21 Normal Operation: 1. Prior to beginning play, rotate the Accelerator to the SET position (Figure 8 on page 17). You can vary the Accelerator to suit your own walking pace after you begin play. 2. Position the Function Switch to ON (Figure 9 on page 17). 3.
Page 22 Figure...
Page 23 6. To stop your X-Series, press STOP on the Remote Transmitter. To achieve maximum braking the Function Switch must be turned OFF. There is no need to change the accelerator when stopping and re-starting. (Figure 11) Reminder: The arrows on the Remote Transmitter indicate steering direction as if you were operating your X-Series manually.
Page 24 Figure Figure Figure...
Page 25: Remote Guidance System
Remote Guidance System Remote Guidance System consists of three components – the Remote Transmitter (Figure 12), Remote Receiver (Figure 13), and Electronic Front Drive (Figure 14). Remote Guidance System operates on an FM Pulse Code Transmittal System that is FCC approved, and requires no operator’s license. Remote Guidance System is relatively low power (milliamps) and is subject to little outside interference.
Page 26 Figure...
Page 27 Centering the Steerable Front Wheel Before you begin play the front wheel must be centered, so your X-Series will track straight. Use the centering knob (Figure 15) on the rear of the Remote Receiver to adjust the front wheel. do not attempt to turn the front wheel by hand.
Page 28 X-Series includes a Bumper Guard to help protect the centering device. Damage caused by hitting obstacles is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. All Remote Guidance System units must be returned to Kangaroo for proper repair. There are no user serviceable components inside. Electronics (Remote Receiver and Remote Transmitter) Remote Receiver The Remote Receiver is the main control center of the Remote Guidance System.
Page 29 Remote Transmitter The Remote Transmitter is supplied with a fresh, standard Alkaline 9-volt battery. The battery compartment is located on the bottom rear of the transmitter. The cover slides off for easy battery replacement. Under normal use, the 9-volt battery should last 3 months. Replace the Remote Transmitter battery at least every three months. Keep dry Use great care in operating your X-Series around water.
Page 30 Figure...
Page 31 Confirm Command Indicator 1. When a signal is given, the red Confirm Command light (Figure 15) on the Remote Transmitter will flash twice – once with the pressing of the button, and again when the button is released, confirming your command.

Page 35: Autobrake
AutoBrake Operation As your X-Series travels downhill with the power switched ON, turn the Accelerator downward to a slower setting. Your X-Series will slow down and give you a feeling of security as you travel down the hill. If the slope is extremely steep, you may turn the Function Switch OFF, which will provide approximately 50% more braking power than just turning the Accelerator to its slowest setting.
Page 36 Figure...
Page 37: Free-Wheeling Mode
Free-Wheeling Mode Free-Wheeling means that the two drive wheels on your X-Series turn freely without engaging the axle or drive train. If you must tow your X-Series either forward or backward, ALWAYS place it in Free-Wheeling Mode first! Gear damage will result from pulling or pushing with great force. Damage from failure to disengage the drive wheels from the gear train is not covered by the warranty.
Page 38 Figure Figure...
Page 39: Rear Wheel Assembly And Removal
Rear Wheel Assembly and Removal Both rear wheels on your X-Series may be easily removed and replaced. Wheels are held in place by a spring-loaded release tab on the inside of each wheel. The tab seats into a groove on the axle. There is a groove for the Drive position and one for Free-Wheeling Mode.

Page 41: Battery & Charger
Battery & Charger All Kangaroo models require a 12-volt, 31-amp deep cycle battery. The ReadyPro electronic charger is designed to charge 12-volt, deep-cycle, gel-filled battery. It is also designed to remain connected to your battery indefinitely when you are not playing, to maintain the battery in good condition while stored for long periods of time.

Page 45 Mounts easily to your X-Series. The seat provides a perfect spot for a quick break or to wait your turn. The bracket is attached securely to your chassis for outstanding stability. The cushion is molded by Kangaroo of puncture-proof, integral-skinned polyurethane foam (more durable than rubber or vinyl — withstands rain, ozone, and ultraviolet rays).
