Getting to know your Freeway
2
When switching on your Freeway, check that the rotary control switch is at
zero, the furthest point anticlockwise and then turn on the on/off rocker switch.
Now apply the power slowly by turning the speed control knob in a
clockwise direction (away from you).
N.B your PowaKaddy is fitted with a safety cut out that checks the
machine to ensure safe operation, should the machine not function on the
first attempt, disconnect the battery, turn the rocker switch off and the
rotary control to zero. Connect the battery and proceed as above.
To switch off, either use the on/off rocker which when turned on again will
resume at the trolleys finishing speed or use the rotary control switch to
reduce speed and stop as required.
Relax and enjoy your game, by adjusting the speed to your walking
pace, on flat fairways, leave the machine to travel freely.
To fold the Freeway for convenient storage fold the upper bag stay
upwards towards the upper handle tube, now release both spring
catches and fold flat, the last 5cm of travel clicks the hold down catch
into place, if required ease the spring clip forward to assist engagement.
Your Freeway is supplied with the wheels engaged and ready to work.
Should the need arise, it is possible to disengage the wheels to an outer
position in order to free wheel easily. Simply release the yellow “pip”
catch on the wheel and pull the wheel away from the machine until it
clicks into the outer groove.
Please note that your Freeway will not work electrically in the outer position.
Your trolley is supplied factory adjusted to go straight. Should the need
arise, there is adjustment available via slots in the front wheel housing.
Simply remove the nut covers, losen the nut and adjust as required.
Refer to your specific model instructions for further details
Your new PowaKaddy Freeway comprises of three parts, the main body
of the trolley the battery and the charger.
With the main section flat on the
floor, stand behind the trolley.
Release the locking catch
beneath the handle by sliding
it forward, at the same time lift
the main handle.
As the handle reaches the
“in use” position, the main
shaft will “click” and lock into
place. Once both catches have
locked into position lower the upper bag stay into place.
Place the battery into the battery bag supplied. The best way to do this is
to lay the battery flat on the floor with the connecting clip downwards and
away from you. Now feed the bag over the battery and fasten the Velcro.
Sit the battery into the moulded battery tray with the connector facing left
or right. Using the strap attached to the battery tray fasten the battery to
the tray firmly. Never allow this strap to hang loose beneath the machine
while in operation, should it get caught it will cause irreparable damage.
Check that the on/off rocker and the rotary control switches are both off.
Carefully insert the T-shaped plug into the socket on the battery, note that
it will only fit one way round, this ensures maximum safety and avoids
reverse polarity.
NOTE:
Never lift your Freeway by the handle when in the closed position, this
will cause undue pressure on the holding catch.

EDF (Electronic Distance Function) Models
4
If you have selected either the Freeway or Classic Legend with EDF you
will need to read the following guidelines in order to get the best from
your PowaKaddy.
Please note that this is a factory fitted option and not available after sale.
Your PowaKaddy is fitted with an electronic distance function in order to
give you more freedom on the course. With a little practice you will be
able to set your machine off to your desired location whilst you relax and
concentrate on your next shot.
The handle has an additional Green push button to those already
described on previous pages.
After setting up your machine as previously described, turn the on/off
rocker switch to “on”, now you have three choices of distance: 15 metres,
30 meters or 45 meters (all approximate). One push of the distance
button gives the lower distance two presses the middle distance whilst
three presses gives the longest distance.
Note, Pressing the button 4 times will activate a safety cut-out on the EDF
system; this can be reset by disconnecting the battery.
Practice makes perfect, so try the shorter distance first and note the
following safety guidelines-
●
NEVER press the EDF button when the trolley is in motion.
●
Practice in an open area away from people or property.
●
Never aim the machine at people or property.
●
Never aim your machine at hills, up or down.

EBS (Electronic Braking System)
3
If you have chosen the Freeway with EBS (Electronic Braking System)
you will need to read the following instructions to get the most from your
Freeway.
The Freeway EBS is fitted with a differential gear box and an additional
Red push button on the handle.
The differential gear box gives easier manoeuvrability and as an
additional benefit will, with the on/off switch off, stop the machine free
wheeling effectively working as a partial brake.
The “Brake” button reduces the speed of the trolley giving an effective
downhill brake. To activate the brake press the button down and hold
until you wish to release the brake.
Note, as soon as the brake button is released the trolley will revert to its
previous speed.
In some cases the most effective way of braking will be to tap the brake
button in succession.
The Freeway EBS cannot ‘freewheel’ in normal operation, should you
wish to freewheel your machine you will need to relocate both wheels
onto the outer groove of the axle as follows -
Depress the yellow “pip” catch on each wheel and pull the wheel
outwards about 5mm until it clicks into the outer groove.
Please note that your PowaKaddy will not work electrically with the
wheels in the outer position.
Practice using the brake before your first round, get used to the severity
of the brake and learn how and when this valuable feature can improve
your caddying experience.
Please note that the EBS system is not available on the standard Freeway
or Classic Legend models as an option after purchase.

will flash “0”; this indicates that your machine is off but ready for use. By
rotating the rotary control, the numbers in the display will change; these
numbers are directly related to the speed of the trolley. All the time that

power slowly by turning the speed control
knob in a clockwise direction (away from you),
you will notice the numbers increase and the
trolley will move forwards, the maximum speed
is achieved at speed nine. When you reach
your desired destination, either slow the cart to
zero or simply tap the end of the rotary control to turn the machine off,
this will turn your solid display into a flashing display.

Complete Guide to Battery and Charger Care
Your battery should always be charged with its lid uppermost, in practical
terms this is when the vent strip is uppermost and Crisscross pattern is
underneath (Sonnenschein) or lid with + and - (Yuasa) is uppermost. If your
battery is in a PowaKaddy battery bag, the see through business card
pocket should be uppermost.
These lead-acid cyclic batteries use the latest technology to immobilise the
electrolyte in the battery. This makes them very safe to use and maintenance
free for the whole of their serviceable life.
The battery must be put on charge for a period of 24 hours, this will "activate"
the battery. You will find that the "charge complete" light comes on before the
24 hours are up, you must keep the battery on charge.
The battery must only be used for a maximum 18 holes (unless you have a
36 hole battery)after which time the battery should be re-charged as soon as
possible (within a 24 hour period). Playing more than 18 holes could over
discharge the battery to the point of damage.
Leave the battery connected to the charger with the mains supply switched on
all the time the battery is not being used. If you prefer not to leave your battery
on charge as you know that you will not be playing for at least a month, you
can store the battery. Fully charge the battery, remove from the charger and
store in place where the ambient temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius
(+10˚C) and less than 30 degrees Celsius (+30˚C). Recharge every 3 months
or 24 hours before your next round.
When charging the battery do not place the battery on a concrete floor, have
the battery raised off the floor on wooden blocks or place the battery on a shelf.
The batteries used by PowaKaddy are NOT nickel-cadmium, you should
never fully discharge the battery with a light bulb or other means. This will, if
done, cause severe damage to your battery and if the voltage has fallen
below 9 Volts the charger will not be able to recover the battery.
The life of the battery will depend on several variables:
1) Frequency of use.
2) Number of holes played each round.
3) Type of course, flat or hilly.
4) Weight of bag and clubs.
5) Compliance to all of the attached recommendations.

The chargers used with all PowaKaddy products are specially designed to
charge the battery at optimum levels. The unit is very simple to use - simply
plug the charger into the battery and switch on the mains. Before using the
charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on the rear of the
charging unit and instructions supplied.
Do not expose the charger to any form of moisture. Place on a hard surface in
a well ventilated area. Do not use in a sealed container or cover the ventilation
slots, and do not operate the charger on carpet or similar soft material.
If you disconnect the battery or interrupt the power supply the charger will
automatically assume that a different battery has been attached and take it
through the 6.5 hour charging cycle again, please avoid this.

Never play more than 18 holes of golf from one charge.
Never drop the battery or allow it to roll around in your car boot.
Never leave the charger switched off with the battery connected.
Never operate the charger with a damaged lead.
Never fully discharge the battery.
Never leave the battery in a discharged condition; recharge as soon
as possible.

Maintenance – All Models
It is worth remembering that a four hour round of golf played once a
week for 12 months is the equivalent to around 4 years use of a
lawnmower. The steps below will help you to get a long and reliable life
from your PowaKaddy.
To keep the machine clean, use a mild detergent and warm water, never
use a high powered pressure washer.
Clean out any debris from the front wheel housing after every game and
wipe away any excess moisture.
Remove the main wheels periodically by depressing the spring clip and
pulling off. Now clear away any debris etc that may cause the wheels
to drag.
Before putting the wheels back on, wipe the spindle and lightly grease,
now put the wheels back on.depressing the spring clip and locating
firmly in the groove.
Never lubricate the Clutches with any type of oil or lubricant spray. This
will do more harm than good.
Every 6 months or so give your machine a thorough check over and
report any symptoms of wear to your local PowaKaddy service agent.
Once a year take your PowaKaddy to your local service agent for its
annual service.
All of these points will help keep your PowaKaddy in tip top condition
and ensure that it remains your reliable partner.
