RoboKaddy hints and tips
To get the best from your RoboKaddy the following hints and tips should
be followed –
l
Practice using your RoboKaddy away from obstructions. It is worth
practicing with your golf bag fitted and on grass. The machine will react
very differently on a car park surface without a bag.
l
Do not overload the base pockets of your golf bag. The more weight on
the front wheel of the machine the less maneuverable it will be and it will
use more power from the battery.
l
The RoboKaddy is a sophisticated machine and will
carry your clubs across most normal
golf course terrain. However, it will
not operate properly if
asked to emulate a
mountain goat!
Wherever the terrain is
difficult, move to manual mode.
l
Should the machine get caught against
an obstruction, please stop and either reverse
or use manual mode. This is particularly
important when using the left/right keys
whilst stationary. If you keep trying you will
overload the motors.
l
Do not keep your finger pressed on any
key for more than 5 seconds as this could
cause damage to your RoboKaddy.
