Attaching the wheels:
The drive wheels can be attached and removed with a quick
release fastener and by pushing back the sliding sleeve at the
wheel hub (see arrow), attaching the drive wheels to the drive
pins, and making sure they engage.
Always make sure that no dirt gets into the hub. The hubs
must not be oiled or greased.
The front wheel can be fitted and removed by pulling back the
knurled sleeve. When attaching the wheels, slightly turning the
sleeve can make it easier for the wheels to engage.
Bag holder:
The top bag holder is fitted into place with an expansion bolt. The
expansion bolt must not be turned in too far (see images), be-
cause there has to be a gap between the expansion bolt and the
start of the thread. To fit the bag holder, insert it into the frame
and then align and fix it into place by tightening the bolt.

Motor brake:
When moving downhill, you can use the trolley‘s drives as a motor
brake: To do so, set the speed to whichever low setting will make
your TiCad®generate the right level of resistance for you.
Electromagnetic parking brake:
The electromagnetic brake is automatically applied to the right
wheel when the trolley comes to a stop and will safely keep the
trolley in place. Please note that the parking brake needs a small
amount of current in order to work.
Free-wheel function:
The wheels have a free-wheel function that we recommend using
when the battery is empty or if you chose to push or pull your golf
trolley yourself over longer distances. To do so, push back the
sliding sleeves on the wheels and arrest them about 5 mm from
the drive pin.

Shaft guard:
Your TiCad®trolley is supplied with a shaft guard for protecting
the drive shafts during transport. Please always use this guard
and do not allow the trolley to drop onto the shafts.
Shaft guard
Care:
The frame of your TiCad®trolley is made of a high-quality,
rust-proof material and has been sealed to keep out rain. The
frame can be cleaned with a conventional household cleaning
product – but not with abrasive cleaners. The titanium‘s shine
can be restored with a special cleaning oil available from TiCad®.
The hubs of the wheels and the couplings must not be oiled or
greased.
Never clean your trolley with a jet washer. Should your trolley
ever become briefly flooded with water, please send it to us im-
mediately!

ELECTRONICS
Battery:
The battery will continue to discharge power while connected
even if the trolley is standing still. The control unit contains a
number of fuses to protect the drives from being overloaded and
to protect the battery. These fuses are tripped: if the wheels are
blocked, if the trolley moves up excessively steep inclines, at slow
speed coupled with excessive resistance or if the battery is emp-
ty. In this case, the golf trolley will come to a stop and the LED
will flash fast. To start the trolley again, press the start button(s).
If the trolley comes to a stop after a sudden impact with an ob-
stacle (e.g. pot-hole or kerb stone), disconnect the battery connec-
tor and reconnect it after 5 seconds. If the battery has sufficient
charge, you can then start the trolley again.
A standard battery generally holds sufficient charge for an ave-
rage of 27 holes and an additional trolley weight of approx. 16 kg.

your battery to always be ready for use, fully charge the battery
before storing it and then to-up its charge the day before you are
playing golf.
For over-winter storage, disconnect the battery from the charger
and store it fully charged in a cool and dry room at an ambient
temperature of less than 20°C. We recommend storing the bat-
tery at as low a temperature as possible, and ideally at 8°C! Avoid
using the battery in high temperatures (> 50°C), as this could
cause irreversible damage.
If the battery is not used for a long period of time, fully charge it
at the latest every 8-12 weeks to prevent it from becoming dam-
aged. Avoid causing mechanical damage to the battery case and
the cable. The battery case‘s seal is rainwater-proof and must not
be opened. If the battery has been submerged in water or is dam-
aged during a fall, please send it immediately to TiCad®GmbH &
Co. KG. Do not attempt to open or repair the battery yourself. The
battery must only be opened and repaired by trained, specialist
personnel. Doing so yourself will void the warranty and may make
the battery unsafe.
Caring for the battery:
Your TiCad®trolley is fitted with a rechargeable lithium-ion bat-
tery. Please fully charge the battery before using the trolley for
the first time.
ATTENTION! Lithium-ion batteries are considered
hazardous goods. The lithium-ion battery supplied with the
trolley contains a protective circuit that protects the battery
from incorrect use. However, the instructions on the bat-
tery‘s use and care still have to be strictly followed, and the
battery treated with care, as non-observance and improper
use can increase the risk of fire. Never expose the battery to
mechanical stress or manually manipulate it. Always make
sure to carefully wrap and store the battery! The battery
must only be charged with the supplied charger.
8 hours to fully charge and be ready for operation again. If you
are playing a lot of golf, you can leave the lithium battery con-
stantly connected to the charger during the season. However, it
is still recommended to disconnect the battery from the charger
once it is fully charged. If you only play golf occasionally and want
Charger:
Only ever charge the battery with the supplied charger. The char-
ger has been configured to carefully charge the battery. The char-
ger must only be used in a dry environment and is not suitable for
outdoor use. The charger must not be covered. Avoid using the
charger in temperatures above 35°C and below 5°C!
The charger‘s status is shown by the LED:
LED GREEN = Battery is fully charged
LED GREEN & flashing = Battery is charging
LED RED = Error
The charger can also be used to check the battery‘s charge: If
the LED stays green when connecting the battery, it is fully
charged.

WARRANTY
Your TiCad®trolley has been designed and built with great care.
Please get in touch with your TiCad®dealer if you notice anything
unusual. The provision of spare parts or repairs performed under
warranty do not extend the warranty period. The warranty does
not apply to damage caused by carelessness or rough handling,
overloading the trolley, inappropriate operation, external force,
submersion in water and unauthorised persons‘ actions. The
warranty only applies if the enclosed operating instructions have
been observed and the trolley is being appropriately used and
cared for, and used with the battery pack and charger supplied by
TiCad®. Technical changes and new developments do not entitle
warranty holders to upgrades.
The warranty period for the titanium frame and the wheels is 5
years, and for the electronic components 2 years from the date
of purchase. The warranty does not cover any damage to the
wheel coating and wear parts such as, e.g. tyres, leather handle.
Loss of battery performance does not constitute a manufac-
turing fault. Batteries are wear parts and are therefore subject
to ageing. Ageing is furthermore affected by factors such as e.g.
operating and storage temperature and level of charge during
storage. Amongst others, one of the signs of battery ageing is an
irreversible loss of capacity.
