start / stop button "K". The charge
status indicator lights up.
3 x green = full charge, reduced to
2 x green when consumed,
1 x green, orange, red = empty
The trolley is ready to start when
the LED‘s above the „K“ light con-
stantly.

the speed control wheel. This will in-
crease or slow down the speed. The
speed controller (continuous wheel)
can be operated from the left as well

3. The trolley has a speed memory: it saves the last speed you drove it
at(bybrieypressingthestart/stopbutton.)
4. The trolley has both a manual and an electronic
freewheel. The electronic freewheel is set by
pressing a key on the conrol unit. Press the button
above the „K“ button to do this. The LED next to the
key lights up white. The drive is thereby switched off.
This driving mode is required to maneuver the trolley
against the running direction. The manual freewheel
is recommended for using the trolley without battery.
This mode is activated as follows:
1. Unlock the drive wheels and pull
them outwards about 1 cm.
2.Re-lockintheoutergrooveprole
of the axle by means of the push
button.
5. The K5/6 has two forward motion keys, with which
you can make it drive 10m .................................................
or approx. 20 m ..............................................................
further by itself. When the selected distance is
reached, the trolley switches off automatically. In
forwardmotionmodethespeedisxedandcanthereforenotbe
adjusted with the regulator. Should a certain lateral inclination be
exceeded within the selected distance, the terrain sensors ensure that
the trolley stops automatically in order to prevent a tipping over. You
canrecognizetheactivationofthetiltprotectionbytheashingofthe
LEDs of the two forward motion buttons.

In addition to the regular cruise control, which maintains the set speed
downhill, the trolley has ground sensors that help to adjust the speed
on uphill and downhill slopes. The trolley automatically detects the
terrain.
The K5/6 brakes automatically as soon as it is switched on. The parking
brake of the K5/6 acts on both drive wheels and allows the trolley to be
parked downhill at any time.
The lane assistant provides additional driving comfort. The trolley
travels even in sloping positions without any additional effort. You do
not need to adjust anything. The trolley recognizes the terrain inde-
pendently.

Cleaning and care
Regular maintenance and care will contribute to the preservation of your
trolley. The trolley should ideally be cleanded with compressed air after
every round. Alternatively you can also clean it with a damp cloth. Remo-
ve the battery before cleaning. In any case, avoid water from coming into
the control, battery connection and electronic components. Please do not
use abrasive or sharp cleaning agents or oil and greases for cleaning. All
the components of the trolley are designed in such a way that greases are
superfluous and in fact rather counterproductive.
