Using your cart
Your QOD::® Q1; Q2; Q3 Walking Electric Cart is designed to maximise your golfing pleasure and
minimise exertion not directly related to the game itself. The following guide will help you to get the
maximum performance out of your cart.
•
Be alert and act responsibly at all times while operating your cart , just as you would when
operating a riding cart, motor vehicle or any other type of machinery. We do not recommend
operating your cart under the influence of alcohol or any other recreational drug.
•
Do not operate the cart using the remote control in narrow or difficult locations. When
manoeuvring your cart in enclosed areas, such as car parks, locker rooms, pro-shops or areas
where pedestrian traffic creates an obstacle, operate your cart in free-wheeling mode with
power turned to Off.
•
Always ensure the cart power switch is turned to the Off position when you park and
leave the cart for any reason, either on or off course.
•
With its optimized balance and straight front wheel the cart has extraordinarily narrow and
responsive turning and manoeuvring abilities, however it may react unexpectedly to uneven
weight distribution or steep slope variations where it follows the gradient of the slope. To
avoid such occurrences ensure that the weight in your bag is distributed evenly by moving
heavy items to both sides, or shifting the bag on the cart.
•
When operating your cart by remote control anticipate the slope of the course in order to
avoid frequent corrections in directions. In some extreme environments, such as very uneven
terrain, steep hills, narrow and/or sloped cart paths, muddy areas, close to bunkers and
hazard, around bushes and trees, it is recommended to operate the cart via manual control in
order to prevent any collisions, damage or the need for complicated direction correctional
manoeuvres.
Flat Terrain
•
On flat fairways you will most likely walk along beside or behind the cart. The cart will drive in
a straight line by itself, but you should control the cart and never operate the cart faster than
you would normally walk.
•
If the terrain is undulating or the surface is uneven, ensure you keep hold of the cart handle
to avoid the cart veering should it encounter an unexpected bump or rut.
Downhill Terrain
•
When travelling down a slope control the cart by reducing the forward speed and use the
motor and gearbox for braking.
•
Do not allow the cart to go downhill unaided as it could accelerate and exceed the remote
controllers signal distance.
Going Backwards
•
If you need to pull the cart backwards, the cart needs to be put into free-wheeling mode. To
activate the free wheeling mode turn the main switch to “Off” or (0). The cart can now be
pulled or pushed manually without resistance. The cart is not designed to be operated in this
manner for extended distances.
•
Power is not required for the cart to be operated in free-wheeling mode.
Seat
•
When using the optional seat, be sure the seat base is firmly on the turf and that your seating
position is balanced so as not to cause the buggy to become unstable. The seat will
automatically lift when you stand up.
