3.1 Attaching the Rear Wheels
On the wheel, press the grey release button on the wheel hub.
Place the wheel onto the axle. You will notice you need to match
up the inner female groove on the axle and the male
of the wheel. When placed in position simply release the button.

secured. To check that the wheel is properly in position pull
on the wheel. If it is properly in position it will not slide off.
Repeat for the other wheel.
MGI ZIP Navigator User Manual 0504
3.2 Rear Wheels Positions
The MGI ZIP caddy is designed to allow the rear wheels to be in
two positions. The position is determined by where the wheel is
locked on the axle in either of the two grooves [see picture]. The
drive position is used during the normal operation of the caddy.
The free wheel position is used to freely push the caddy should
you experience battery or caddy issues on the course.

UNLOCK button will flash while charging. When a full charge is
complete, the green light will stay on and stop flashing.
To charge the remote, plug the USB cord into the USB plug at
the base of the remote as pictured in the diagram. The cable
then needs to be plugged into your PC or Laptop for charging.
Alternatively you can plug the cable into an AC adaptor [not
provided].
To check the level of power in the remote, use the remote to
control to direct the caddy, or at least press a button to talk to
the Digital top box and the remote control battery level will show
on the screen on the caddy.
We recommend charging your remote after each round along

travels. The caddy will always start at speed 2 when using the

decrease speed, the longer the pressure, the slower the speed.

the speed level indicated on the display, the caddy will always

you to LOCK and UNLOCK the keypad. This will help eliminate
accidental control when storing the remote in your pocket.
The STOP button will continue to work, when the LOCK feature is
activated.
7.7 Remote Range and Safety Stop
The ZIP Navigator can be remotely controlled up to 100m. If the
remote control loses contact with the caddy, then the automatic
safety stop will operate after five seconds. This is for the protection
of your caddy, yourself and others. If the caddy was last
activated using the manual controls, the auto safety stop feature
will not operate. Please note, the top left unlock button will flash
every 3 seconds while the caddy is running under remote control.

2. Hold down the Stop Button on the Remote until both the
Lock and Unlock buttons are illuminated – then release the
Stop Button.
3. Reconnect the battery
4. The Remote will synchronize with the Top Box – the process
will be complete once the Lock and Unlock buttons are no
longer illuminated
8.0 Gyroscope Straight Tracker
Navigation System
The ZIP Navigator is built with a Patented Gyroscope Straight
Tracker Navigation System. This automatic feature ensures the
caddy maintains its direction regardless of the terrain. The caddy
will automatically brake or accelerate either wheel to maintain its
direction.
When the caddy is controlled by the remote, the Navigation
system is always ON.
When the caddy is controlled manually, the Navigation system is
always OFF.
Tip: On a steep incline, the gradient may force the caddy off
line. You do not need to adjust the caddy. The caddy will work its
way back on course. In addition, if the caddy hits a divot or other
object, the caddy will momentarily be forced off course. Do not
be concerned, the caddy knows where to go and will get back
on track quickly.

caddy’s warranty period, provided the warranty installation is
performed by MGI, an authorized service center or the caddy
owner on approval. Replacement of parts under warranty will not
extend the warranty of the caddy or parts.
10.0 Preventative Maintenance Program
To properly provide for the continued operation of your MGI
ZIP caddy, MGI has introduced its Preventative Maintenance
Program [PMP]. The PMP consists of work to be carried out by
both the owner and authorized service centers. To properly
maintain the warranty of your MGI motorized caddy, it is essential
that this work is carried out. If the work carried out by the
authorized service center is to replace parts that are part of the
maintenance schedule, the owner will be charged for the parts
and labor. If the work to be carried out is part of warranty, MGI will
bear the cost.
10.1 Cleaning Your MGI ZIP Caddy [See Maintenance Schedule]
• For years of good operation, your caddy requires care and
attention.
• Keep your caddy clean by using a cloth with warm water
and a mild detergent.
• Do not hose down your caddy under any circumstance, as
the caddy has electronic components.
• Ensure that the seat stem bracket is free from sand.
• Do not submerge your caddy in water as it will cause
irreparable damage.
• Clean the caddy battery base when the battery is removed
from the caddy.
10.2 Rear Wheel Axles Maintenance [See Maintenance Schedule]
The rear wheel stub axles need to be lubricated regularly. Remove
the rear wheels by depressing the spring clip and at the same
time pull off the wheel. Apply Petroleum Jelly or light grease to
the stub axles. Use a very small amount as the grease can attract
sand. If you play in sandy conditions you should clean the axle
and regrease fortnightly.
10.3 Upper and Lower Bag Strap Maintenance [See Maintenance
Schedule]
The bag straps should be replaced as per the Service Schedule.
The upper bag strap can be replaced by:
• Removing the left and right hand straps form the upper bag
support
• Undo and remove the screws holding the strap in position on
the bag support
• Remove and replace both bag straps
• Insert bag strap securing screws.
10.4 Correcting the Alignment
Please see Zip Navigator Motor Trimming on the www.mgigolf.
com website.

necessary adjustments and services are carried out. If in doubt
please contact the MGI service center on 1300 644 523. Any work
performed on your caddy should be recorded on your service
record (see page 21) regardless of the work.
