Testing Your CaddyTest EnvironmentFirst, make sure that you perform your first test of the caddy in a wide and safe area, freeof obstructions or valuables, such as people, parked automobiles, flowing traffic, furnitureor water bodies (rivers, swimming pools etc.), steep hills, cliffs or similar hazards.Manual Control OperationTest the manual function first: Press the On/Off button for 2-5 seconds. The manualfunctions of the caddy are controlled through the rheostat control wheel on the top of thehandle. Pushing the wheel clockwise will control the forward movement of the caddy. Inorder to slow down or stop the caddy, turn the wheel counterclockwise.Remote Control Operation (X3R Only)Make sure you are close to the caddy at all times while testing it and familiarizingyourself with the remote control! Now turn on the main power switch and make surethat the rheostat control wheel is in OFF position. One touch of the Forward/Backwardarrows on the remote control starts the caddy in either direction. Further pushes increasethe speed. In order to stop the caddy press round red STOP button in the middle ofthe remote! To turn the caddy in either direction push the left or right arrows briefly.Once you release the button the caddy will continue in the current direction at the samespeed prior to the turning command. You will notice that the caddy reacts promptly toany turning command, so it will take you some practice to get just the right touch forturning maneuvers. Please be aware that the turning characteristics will changedepending on the surface (grass, asphalt), the slope or the weight (loaded, unloaded) ofyour caddy.The remote is designed to have a reach of approximately 80-100 yards, but we stronglyrecommend to operate the caddy in closer ranges of 10-30 yards (not exceeding 50 yards)to be able to react to any unforeseen events, such as other golfers crossing your path orto avoid hidden obstructions (creeks, bunkers, GUR, etc.) or an unexpected disconnection
