ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
X8Pro & X8R
1. Unpack all items carefully and check inventory. Place frame structure (one piece)
on soft clean ground to protect the frame from being scratched.
2. Attach rear wheels to axles by pushing the wheel locking button (Pic-1)
on the outside of the wheel and inserting the axle extension in to the wheel.
Make sure to keep the locking button on the outside of the wheel
pushed in during this process, in order to enable the axle extensions,
including the four pins (Pic-2), to be inserted all the way into the
axle sprocket. If not locked in, the wheel will not be connected to the
motor and will not be propelled! Test the lock by trying to pull the wheel out.
Note; the X8 caddy has a right (R) and a left (L) wheel, seen from behind in driving
direction. Please make sure that the wheels are assembled on the correct side,
so the wheel tread will match each other (Pic-3) as well as the front & anti-tip
wheels. To disassemble the wheels, proceed in reverse order.

Your ready to go!
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
by operating it on a level surface without the bag. If changes are
necessary, you can adjust the tracking of your caddy by loosening
the front wheel axle and the Adjustment bar on the right side of
the from wheel and shifting the axle accordingly. After such
adjustment fasten screws in reverse order but do not overtighten.
*Tracking - there is a video on the website that shows how 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.

Electronic Systems
• Remote Control Range: We recommend not to exceed 20-30 yards distance. The greater
the distance between you and the caddy, the greater the chance of losing control of it.
• Microcomputer: The remote caddy has 3 microcomputer controls. The primary
microprocessor is in its own compartment underneath the battery tray. We call it the
controller. The 2nd is in the remote control transmitter handset, and the third is in handle
controls at the top of the handle (handle control board). The battery charge indicator lights
will light up indicating the power is “ON”. Also, it will indicate the charge level of the battery,
green ( OK to run) or red (near discharged, will fail shortly)
• Safety Protection: When the temperature of the controller box reaches its upper limit, the
overload circuit will automatically shut down the unit to cool it down. The remote control
unit will NOT operate at this time, but you may continue to use your caddy with manual
operation.
• Microprocessor Controlled Electronics System: When you connect the battery, the
electronics system will automatically run through a start-up routine; then once completed
you can press the main OFF/ON switch on the handle. The battery charge indicator lights
will show you the charge level of the battery from green (fully charged) to red (discharged).
• Important: The electronics controller box contains no user serviceable parts.
Therefore, it is sealed to reduce the risk of moisture entering and impacting the
electronic system. Breaking this seal increases the risk of damaging the electronics and
decreasing the reliability of your caddy. DO NOT attempt to open the controller case.
DOING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!
• Battery Operation and Care: Follow battery charge and maintenance instructions. The
battery comes with leads and a 3-prong connector.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE & ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Battery Charging and Maintenance (see specic separate instructions for sealed lead
acid (SLA) and lithium batteries)
• PLEASE OBEY THESE PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY USE & CHARGING:
• Please do not charge the battery in a sealed container or in an upside down position.
Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
• Please do not charge the battery near a heat source, where heat accumulation may occur,
or in direct sunlight.
• In order to prolong the service life of the battery, avoid complete discharge and charge the
battery after every use. Unplug the battery from the charger once the charge is complete.
When the caddy is not in use for an extended period of time, it is recommended to charge
the battery once every 6 weeks.
• The red color on the battery pole stands for positive, and the black stands for negative. In
case of battery replacement, please reconnect the poles of the battery correctly to avoid
severe damage.
• Please do not disassemble the battery or throw it into a re. EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• NEVER TOUCH THE ELECTRIC POLES OF THE BATTERY AT THE SAME TIME! THIS
IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD!

11
Recommendations
• Fully charge the battery for approximately 5-9 hours before the rst use.
• Do not leave the battery on the charger. Remove it from the charger after charge is
complete
• The battery will take approximately 2-3 rounds and charging cycles before it reaches its
full operating potential. During the rst couple of rounds it might still be below its optimal
power.
• Never keep your battery connected to the grid during prolonged power outages. It might
be irreversibly damaged.
DO NOT fully discharge the battery by “overplaying” it. It is recommended to avoid complete
discharge of the battery.
*Life of sealed lead acid and lithium batteries is dependent on a variety of factors, other
than purely the number of charges, including but not limited to, frequency between charges,
duration of charge, level of drainage, idle time, operating temperature, storage conditions
and duration and overall shelf time. Bat-Caddy will cover our batteries according to our
warranty policy and any potential additional coverage is at our discretion”.

Testing Your Caddy
Test Environment
First, make sure that you perform your rst test of the caddy in a wide and safe area, free of
obstructions or valuables, such as people, parked automobiles, owing trafc, bodies of water
(rivers, swimming pools, etc.), steep hills, cliffs or similar hazards.
Manual Control Operation
Test the manual function rst: 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. Turn the dial SLOWLY in order
to prevent the caddy from “jumping” away!
Remote Control Operation (X8R 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 briey. 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,
and different weight loads so it will take some practice to get just the right touch for turning
maneuvers. Always make sure you stay close enoough to control the caddy manually in an
emergency.
The remote is designed to have a reach of maximal 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 Efcient 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

13
General Maintenance
All of these recommendations, along with common sense, will help keep your Bat-Caddy in
top condition and ensure that it remains your reliable partner, both on and off the links.
• The Bat-Caddy has been designed so that the user can concentrate on playing golf, while
the caddy does the work of carrying your bag. In order to keep your Bat-Caddy looking its
best, wipe any mud or grass from the frame, wheels and chassis after every round using
a damp cloth or paper towel.
• NEVER use water hoses or high-pressure jet washers to clean your caddy to prevent
moisture from entering the electronic systems, motors, or gear boxes.
• Remove the rear wheels every few weeks and clean out any debris that may cause the
wheels to drag. You may apply some lubricant, such as WD-40, to keep moving parts
smooth and corrosion-free.
• A 4 to 5 hour round of golf played once a week for 12 months is equivalent to approximately
four years’ use of a lawn mower. Thoroughly inspect your cart at least once a year, and if
you notice any symptoms of wear, contact your Bat-Caddy Service Center. Alternatively,
you can have your caddy inspected and tuned at our Service Centers, so it’s always in
great shape for the new season.
• Always disconnect the battery when you store your caddy, and always reassemble your
caddy before reconnecting the battery. If you are not planning to play for at least a month,
store the battery in a cool dry place (not on a concrete oor) and DO NOT LEAVE IT ON
THE CHARGER.
Recommendations for Efcient and Safe Operation
• The caddy (X8R) 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 maneurvers, 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.
