SETTING UP YOUR TROLLEY

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.

Setting up your trolley:

The frame of your TiCad

®

trolley is easy to set up and fold together.
To do so, push the lower bar right down until it reaches the bottom
limit stop and the centre bar right up until it reaches the top limit
stop.

Pull the top bag holder down and turn it until it reaches its end
position and you can hear it engage.

To release the locking pin, pull the bag holder up and then fold
it down.

Top bag holderFolding principle

Connecting/removing the battery:

Insert the battery into the supplied battery holder. Connect the
battery before placing the golf bag onto the trolley. Do not let the
battery connector drop onto the ground. To unplug the connec­tor, hold on to the knurl (not the cable) and pull the connector out
horizontally.

Attaching the golf bag:

Put your golf bag onto the trolley before fitting the drawbar, i.e.
while it is hanging loose. To fasten the golf bag, insert one of the
round fasteners into the strap of the opposite fastening strap.
When doing so, make sure not to flick the fasteners, as this may
cause injury. To undo the fastening straps, hold on to the bottom
strap an then pull out the top fastening strap with your other hand.

We recommend adjusting the drawbar only once the golf
bag has been attached to prevent the trolley from tipping
over.

Adjusting the drawbar:

As soon as the golf bag has been attached to the TiCad

®

trol­ley, you can adjust the drawbar to a comfortable height for you.
You can loosen the drawbar by turning the black handle coun­ter-clockwise 3 to 4 times. Only start moving the drawbar into
the right position once it has been completely freed and moves
without resistance. To fasten the drawbar, turn the black handle in
the opposite direction. When doing so, move the drawbar slight­ly up and down to allow the fastening mechanism‘s teeth to fully
engage with one another and to prevent them from becoming
damaged.

USING YOUR TROLLEY

Always move your TiCad® trolley slowly and carefully when
moving over rough ground that contains stones or pot­holes. Avoid kerb edges. Never tow your TiCad
a buggy!

Control handle:

Twisting the handle forward starts the trolley and increases its
speed. Twisting the handle backward decreases the trolley‘s
speed and twisting the handle right back to the mechanical limit
stop (to zero) will bring the trolley to a stop and activate the brake.

If you do not want to use the control handle to bring the trolley to
a stop, you can also use the single button (3). Pressing the single
button (3) again will make the trolley start up again at the speed
that was used last.

If you stopped your trolley by pressing the single button (3), you
can release the brake by twisting the control handle right back to
zero. The brake can be reactivated by pressing the single button
(3) again. To start the trolley up again, twist the control handle
forwards.

If you stopped your trolley by twisting the control handle until it
reached zero, you can release the brake by pressing the single
button (3). The brake can be reactivated by pressing the single
button (3) again. To start the trolley up again, twist the control
handle forwards.

All TiCad

®

Tango Classic‘s are equipped with an electromagnetic

parking as standard.

Timer function (base setting):

Press the single button until the LED lights up. Your trolley will
now drive about 10 metres and then come to a stop. Press the
single button until the LED starts flashing. Your trolley will now
drive about 20 metres and then come to a stop. You can stop the
timer function at any time by pressing the single button again.
The relevant timer settings will be confirmed by the LED on the
battery.

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.

10 metres - LED lights up

20 metres - LED flashes

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.
(Supplied as standard only on TiCad

Tango Classic.)

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.

Umbrella adapter:

The umbrella adapter is supplied ready-fitted at the end of the
drawbar‘s handle. To adjust the adapter to the drawbar‘s posi­tion and to your body height, loosen the screw in the centre of the
adapter with the supplied Allen key and turn it into the required
position.

When doing so, the larger hole on the adapter always has to
point towards the top and the middle hole with the thread to
the bottom. Once you have adjusted the adapter, tighten the

screw again.

Screw the umbrella holder into the tapered adapter.

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 im­mediately!

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 empty. In this
case, the golf trolley will come to a stop and the LED will flash fast.

To start the trolley again, press the single button. If the trol­ley comes to a stop after a sudden impact with an obstacle
(e.g. pot-hole or kerb stone), disconnect the battery connec­tor 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 average of
27 holes and an additional trolley weight of approx. 16 kg.

Caring for the battery:

Your TiCad
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 bat­tery‘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 con­stantly 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

TANGO/ TANGO CLASSIC

®

trolley is fitted with a rechargeable lithium-ion bat-

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 bat­tery 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 dam­aged. 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 dam­aged 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.

Charger:

Only ever charge the battery with the supplied charger. The char­ger has been configured to carefully charge the battery. The char­ger 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
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

®

TiC ad

. 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 manufac­turing 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.
