NOTE
To use the trolley without a battery or to move it
longer distances without using the drive, you must
activate the manual freewheel to prevent damage
to the trolley and make it easier to push and pull.
DECOUPLING
Press and hold the wheel lock
to pull the wheel approx. 5 mm
away from the drive plate and
release the button to lock it in
the freewheel groove.
5The trolley has both manual and electronic
freewheel modes.
The electronic freewheel is set by pressing a
button on the control unit. To activate it, press
the Freewheel button. The LED next to the button
lights up in white. The drive is deactivated and the
electronic braking effect is released.
This travel mode is necessary and particularly use-
ful when moving the trolley short distances in the
opposite direction or manoeuvring it in tight spac-
es, e.g. to turn around on the green or at the tee.

The trolley is ready to start when the LEDs under
the ‘K’ are illuminated continuously. The battery

all you have to do is press the Start/Stop button.
Switch on the trolley by pressing the Start/
Stop button ‘K’ briey. The battery charge status

Regular care and maintenance can help
extend the life of your trolley. Ideally, you
should clean your trolley with compressed
air after each round. Alternatively, you can
clean it with a damp cloth. Remove the
battery before cleaning. Take care to avoid
water coming into contact with the con-
trol unit, battery connection and electron-
ic components. Please refrain from using
abrasive and harsh cleaning agents, oils
and greases when cleaning the trolley. All
parts of the trolley are designed in such a
way that greasing is unnecessary – in fact it
would be counterproductive.
Please note that failure to follow the safety instructions and heed the warnings
can cause damage to the battery. Doing so voids the warranty. Under certain
circumstances, this can even increase the risk of re.
BATTERY AND CHARGER CARE AND CLEANING
MANUFACTURER’S
GUARANTEE CONDITIONS
Before using the trolley for the rst time, please
charge your battery for 24 hours non-stop using
the enclosed original charger.
To do so, rst connect the charger to the mains
power supply and then connect the battery and
the charger.
The LED on the charger lights up in green
continuously when the charging process is
complete.
For best results, please charge the battery
fully after every use. This does NOT cause a
memory effect.
Remember to disconnect the battery and
charger when the charger is not connected
to the mains power supply. If the battery and
charger are connected for extended periods
without a power supply, the resulting deep
discharge can render the battery unusable.
Only charge the battery in well ventilated
rooms at a suitable temperature (between
5°C and 35°C). The charger must not be covered
during the charging process.
Before putting your trolley into storage at the
end of the season, charge your battery fully
using the enclosed original charger for 24 hours
(disconnect the battery and charger). Charge
the battery for a few hours every three months.
CHARGING
Check that the charger is in proper working or-
der. A defective charger can damage the battery!
The charger LED lights up in green continuously
when the battery is not connected. When the
battery is connected, the colour changes to red,
which means that charging has started.
Do not throw, drop, damage or tamper with
the battery (e.g. by drilling into it, soldering or
gluing it etc.)
The battery is housed in a hard cover that must
not be opened under any circumstances.
Do not immerse the battery in liquids or pour
any liquids over it.
Only use the battery to operate a KIFFE trolley.
Damaged batteries (whether the hard cover or
cable is damaged) must not be used or trans-
ported. Please inform KIFFE Golf Manufaktur
GmbH without delay.
Keep the battery away from naked ames and
do not expose it to extreme temperatures for
extended periods (e.g. in a parked car in sum-
mer or in unheated caddie halls in winter).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
If you have a guarantee claim, please con-
tact the specialist dealer where you bought
the trolley. Please note that your dealer
needs the trolley along with the battery,
charger and other special accessories to
send them to the manufacturer. Please
also keep your purchase receipt for this
eventuality.
KIFFE Golf Manufaktur GmbH grants a
3-year warranty on frames & wheels of all
models of the K-Line from 2016. A 2-year
warranty is granted on the electronics and
the battery.
The manufacturer’s guarantee and warran-
ty do not cover wearing parts (e.g. wheels,
tyres, operating components, handles and
rubber cords) or damage to paintwork.
Batteries are affected by an irreversible
ageing process. Deterioration in perfor-
mance due to ageing is not a production
defect. KIFFE’s proprietary battery man-
agement system (BMS) maximises the bat-
tery life, with careful handling of the bat-
tery also helping to extend its life. Please
observe the charging instructions as well
as the safety instructions and warnings in
this operating manual.
Replacement of the trolley or parts of the
trolley as well as any repairs carried out
under guarantee do not extend the guar-
antee period.
