If you have purchased an Electronic Braking System (EBS) model trolley you have the added
advantage of an electronic braking system for hill descent control. The brake function is
activated by rolling the central control knob counter-clockwise until you go below zero to a
negative number. The power setting will display between -1 & -3 indicating the level of
braking force being applied.
WARNING! EBS is an assisted braking system not a 100% parking brake.

*In normal conditions the Extended batteries will do 36 holes when used on a
PowaKaddy trolley. Conditions such as long or exceptionally hilly courses, wet
ground conditions and excessively heavy golf bags may reduce the range of the
battery. Most lead acid batteries reach the end of their life in the second or third
season and often without any apparent reason. Very hot or cold weather does
not help. Even batteries that are treated identically have different life spans.
Please note the Extended lead acid battery is not available on the Plug’n’Play™
system although an adaptor plate is provided.
Your FW trolley features a new Plug’n’Play™ battery system. To maximise your
battery life please take time to read the following battery care and charging
instructions.
Batteries available are as follows:
Standard 18Hole Extended 36Hole* Lithium 18Hole Lithium Extended 36Hole*
New Lead-Acid batteries can sometimes take 2-3 rounds of golf before they become fully ‘activated’. We have found that on rare occasions there
is not enough capacity to complete a full round of golf. Our advice is to play only 9 holes on the their first outing.
Please refer to the product labels on your battery and charger for more information. At the end of the battery’s life dispose at your local recycling
centre.
Always recharge your battery (12 Hours Minimum) within 24 hours of use, no matter how many holes played. Never leave your battery in a discharged
condition for prolonged periods, this will reduce the life of the battery and your charger may be unable to recharge it.
Leave the battery on charge even when not in regular use to maintain optimum life and performance. It is perfectly safe to leave the battery
plugged in on charge. Once the green light illuminates the charger will use virtually no electricity but guarantee you a fully charged battery for your
next round.
Never leave your lead acid battery connected to the trolley for prolonged periods when not in use, this will discharge the battery and the
charger will not be capable of re-charging.
Ensure your Lithium battery isolation switch is in the OFF (0) position when the battery is connected but not in use. for example during
transportation.
Only charge your Plug’n’Play Lithium battery with the isolation switch in the ON (1) position.

Security - Rotate the control knob and save each digit by pressing the control knob.
Pin Note: if you have added a PIN lock this will be required every time you turn
the trolley on. If you have forgotten your PIN you can use the default
factory PIN: 7921 to unlock the controls.
This will change measurement and ADF functions (km/metres or
miles/yards).
Automatic Distance Function (ADF):
The ADF function is a convenient way of sending your trolley a set distance. For example
when you are approaching a green you can send the trolley towards the next tee if the route
allows. Please note it is not recommended to send your trolley unattended over steep or
rough terrain. To activate:
1: Press and hold the central control knob until ‘ADF’ appears on the display
2: Rotate the control knob to select the distance required between
5-50 Yrds/Metres.
3: To start the function press the control knob.
4: To cancel rotate the control knob to “00” and select.
WARNING! Before using the ADF function please ensure the route is clear from any
obstacles. In an emergency the trolley can be stopped by pressing the control knob.

Never expose the charger to rain, moisture or damp, if you suspect any of these have occurred then do not use the charger.
Never use the charger or battery if the leads, contacts or casings are damaged.
Never submerge the Lithium battery in water. To clean use a lightly dampened cloth. IMPORTANT - if submerged under water or if water may
have entered due to damage to casing, DO NOT USE the battery. Place outdoors in a non-combustible container covered in sand well away
from other flammable material, and contact PowaKaddy or your Local Authority for further advice.
Always place the charger on a hard flat heat resistant surface. Do not wrap or cover as the charger generates heat in use.
Avoid charging your Lithium battery in temperatures below 0 ˚C or expose the battery to temperatures below -5 ˚C or above 40 ˚C.
Important Safety Information about Batteries & Chargers
Only charge your battery using the compatible PowaKaddy charger provided with your battery. A mismatch of battery and charger could cause
damage.
Never discharge your battery other than in normal use on the trolley.
Always check with your airline before attempting to transport batteries by air.
If the battery is to be not used for a period of 3 months or more then it is ok to remove from charge. Always fully recharge the battery (minimum
24 hours). Our advice is to store in a cool dry place. Thereafter recharge the battery once a month.
The charger has two lights, when connecting a discharged battery the red light will illuminate, the green light will illuminate during the charging
cycle, this does not mean the charge has finished, the battery must remain on charge for a minimum of 12 Hours. Never leave the charger
connected to the battery with the mains supply switched off.
