COMMISSIONING

AND HANDLING

3 4

The trolley is ready to start when the LEDs under

the ‘K’ are illuminated continuously. The battery

charge status indicator has 3 LEDs.

Turn the rotary knob to start moving your trolley.

This speeds up or slows down the trolley. The

speed controller (continuous wheel) can be con-

trolled either from the left or right.

Turn clockwise to make the trolley travel faster.

Turn counter-clockwise to slow down the trolley.

The trolley has a speed memory feature, which

saves the last speed of travel (when you press the

Start/Stop button). To travel at the preset speed,

all you have to do is press the Start/Stop button.

Switch on the trolley by pressing the Start/

Stop button ‘K’ briey. The battery charge status

indicator lights up. 3 x green = full charge. As the

trolley is used, this reduces to 2 x green, 1 x green,

orange, red = almost empty.

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 K7 has two forward buttons with which you can

drive either 10m or 20m.

When the selected distance is reached, the trolley

switches off automatically. The speed of the for-

ward travel mode is preset and cannot be adjusted

with the control unit.

If the trolley tilts to the side by 25° or more within

the selected distance, terrain sensors stop the trol-

ley automatically to prevent it toppling over. When

the anti-tilt protection is triggered, the LEDs on the

two forward travel buttons ash alternately.

BATTERY AND CHARGER

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

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 control

unit, battery connection and electronic

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 warn-

ings can cause damage to the battery. Doing so voids the warranty. Under

certain circumstances, this can even increase the risk of re.

CARE AND CLEANING

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.
