Top 2 Battery Care Requirements ........................................................................................................... 12
1. Identify the Left and Right wheels by locating the L and R sticker on the inside of the wheels. To
identify which side to place the wheels, stand behind the buggy, the right wheel is needs to be
installed on your right and the left on your left.
2. Attach the wheels to the axles by pushing the wheel locking button (E) on the outside of the wheel
and inserting the axle extension into the wheel.
Ensure to keep the locking button on the outside of the wheel pushed in during this process.
This is in order to enable the axle extensions, including the two pins, to be inserted all the
way into the wheel.
If not locked in, the wheel will not be connected to the clutch and cannot be moved. Test the lock by
trying to pull the wheel out.
E
3. Place the battery pack (F) on the battery tray (G) and fasten the hook and eye strap (H) around the
battery and fasten it tightly. Insert the battery plug (I) into the golf buggy’s outlet (J).
When the golf buggy goes through different speed levels, the Timer function is
automatically activated. If the Go/Stop button is pressed, the Timer function will
immediately be cancelled and the digital display will revert back to the previously set
speed level. Pressing the Go/Stop button again will return to the previously set speed
setting.
Electric Golf Buggy - E5000
Speed Control Knob
Scrolling the speed Control Knob lets you choose your preferred speed to suit your pace perfectly, and
the display panel will show the preferred speed. You can choose speed levels from 1 (slowest) to 7
(fastest).
Operating your Golf Buggy
1. To turn the golf buggy ON, hold down the ON/OFF button for about 30 seconds. The battery charge
LED should light up.
2. While holding on to the handle, start dialling on the Speed Control Knob your preferred speed.
Control the knob’s movement with your index finger, slowly moving clockwise or anti-clockwise. The
golf buggy will start moving forward. Adjust the speed seamlessly to the desired pace.
3. To stop or slow down the golf buggy, either dial the speed control knob to a slower speed or use the
cruise control or ON/OFF buttons.
Charging the Battery
1. Charge the battery by plugging-in the charger into the battery first, then plug the charger into the
mains electrical supply. Ensure that the battery gets charged after each round of golf. Charging is
complete when the charger light changes colour. Battery charging takes anywhere between 5-12
hours.
2. Once the battery is fully-charged, disconnect the battery from the charger, then the charger from the
mains electrical supply. There are two types of indicator lights. The changes in LED colours for
these different charging statuses are as follows:
a. The LED will turn green when connecting the battery and changes to red once connected to an
outlet, indicating that the battery is being charged. The LED will revert to green once the battery
is fully charged.
b. The LED light will start as a steady green. If the battery requires charging or while charging the
battery, the LED light will revert to a flashing green. When the battery is fully charged, the LED
will stop flashing and revert to a steady green.
1. Charge battery before first use. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of
this the battery must be charged for 12 hours on the initial charge and 5 – 12 for each
subsequent charge.
2. Charge battery immediately when it is depleted. Do not store a depleted battery. This will
permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of
time, fully charge the battery before storing.
3. Disconnect battery when not in use. To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the
unit when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.
To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.
•
For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C
•
When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery
from the charger.
•
Inspect the terminals, screws, clamps and cables for breakage, damage or loose connections.
These should be clean, tight and free of corrosion.
•
Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.
•
Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate
the battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.
•
Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.
•
Keep the battery clean, dry, free of dirt and grime. A dirty battery can discharge across the grime on
top of the battery casing.
•
Apply a thin coating of high temperature grease to posts and cable connections for added
protection.
•
Inspect the battery case for obvious signs of physical damage or warpage. This usually indicates
the battery has been overheated or has been overcharged.
•
Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. Exploding
batteries can propel debris and chemicals.
•
Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.
•
Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.
•
Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or
personal injury may result.
•
Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat; for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not
store batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.
•
Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.
•
Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention,
and flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean
water for at least 10 minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
•
Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to
local regulations.
Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery
life being reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating or fire may result.
The steps below will ensure that you get a prolonged and reliable life out of your golf buggy.
•
The golf buggy has been designed so that the user can concentrate on playing golf, while the golf
buggy does the work of carrying your bag. In order to keep your golf buggy looking at its best, wipe
away any mud or grass from the frame, wheels and chassis after every round of golf with a damp
cloth or paper towel.
•
DO NOT use any high-pressure jet washers to prevent moisture from entering into the electronic
systems, motors and/or gear boxes of the golf buggy.
•
Remove the rear wheels every few weeks and remove any debris that might cause the wheels to
stop rotating and drag itself across the ground. You could also apply some lubricant, such WD-40 to
ensure moving parts run smoothly.
•
A 4/5-hour round of golf played once a week for 12 months is equivalent to around 4 years use of a
lawnmower, so please inspect your golf buggy at least once a year thoroughly. If you notice any
symptoms of wear-and-tear, contact an authorised service centre.
•
Always disconnect the battery whenever you put the golf buggy in storage, and always assemble
the golf buggy together first before re-connecting the battery. If you are not planning to play for at
least a month, store the battery in a cool, dry location (not on concrete floor).
All these recommendations will help keep your golf buggy in good, working condition and ensure that it
remains your reliable partner, both on and off the links.
