MODES OF OPERATION

Your Q Follow has 

THREE

 modes of operation: manual, remote and Follow. 

Follow is just one of the three and should not be thought of as a default setting. It is 

your responsibility to choose the correct steering mode for each situation, please read 

more for tips on how to make these decisions.

1. MANUAL OPERATION

Good for: 

Tight spaces, car parks, bridges, paths.

Before you do anything, make sure you know where the STOP button is and always use 

this as the main command to bring the machine to a halt. 

If you wish to bring the machine to a more gentle halt then use the Glide Stop button.

When in a car park, crossing a road or negotiating a tight path, you should steer 

manually from the handle. You can control the speed of the machine using the speed  

up & slow down buttons, or program the cruise control speeds to your walking pace 

(see P16). 

BEST PRACTICE:

When in tight areas you should physically keep control of the Q Follow by steering from 

the handle. 

The dual handle allows you to steer with either hand. Either clip the handset to the 

handle, or hold it with your other hand.

WARNING

Ensure you practice in an open area 

away from other people or objects. 

This will allow you to familiarise 

yourself with the remote and follow 

functions without risk of damage or 

injury. Be aware of your surroundings. 

Ensure that you know the 

whereabouts of other players, carts, 

trees, lakes, bunkers, streams etc.

Other devices that emit electrical 

signals can affect the Follow zones 

(page 13) and therefore performance. 

This includes other Q Follow 

machines, so stay at least 5 metres 

away from your playing partners. 

Metal grids on or in the floor can 

affect the field. Other devices that 

transmit/create radio/magnetic fields 

can affect performance. 

2. REMOTE CONTROL

Good for: 

Around the greens or when you are in the rough.

Not for:

 Car parks, bridges, paths.

To start the machine moving forwards, press the forward button. Once the machine is in 

motion, continually pressing the “speed up” or “slow down” buttons will either speed up 

or slow down the machine respectively. You can also use the cruise control buttons to 

start the machine.

To reverse the machine press the “reverse” button (it must first be stopped). When 

reversing, the speed is fixed and cannot be increased or decreased.

To steer the machine, press and release either the left or right buttons. When in motion 

this will change the direction slightly and continue moving. A prolonged press will 

tighten the turn. If you press either button with the Q Follow stationary, the machine  

will turn on the spot.

BEST PRACTICE

:

•  The remote has a nominal 50m range. However it is recomended that you keep the 

machine within 25m so that you can see obstacles in its way. 

•  Hold the handset in your hand and position the machine approximately 10m in front 

of you and on the line of your ball. Make small adjustments to direction and speed 

as you see fit. Do not place the handset in your pocket.

•  When you get to your ball, park the machine to the right of your ball (or to the left 

if you are left handed). Place the handset on the cradle when taking a shot.

•  If you are going to walk any distance away from the machine, keep your handset 

with you so you can drive it to your next position rather than walking back to it. 

STEERING MODES: 

There are two modes of steering: 

Regular

 and 

Glide

 steering. Regular steering is 

suitable for most situations, whereas Glide steering reacts slower.
Regular steering is the default setting and can always be restored by pressing the 

STOP

 button. In Glide steering mode, the machine steers much more gently. To 

activate Glide Steering, press the orange 

GLIDE STOP

 button and then start the 

trolley moving 

within three seconds

. 

The machine will default back to the Regular steering mode every time the trolley 

stops. If you use the GLIDE STOP, then the ‘STOP’ will engage automatically after 

six seconds which will reset the steering to Regular.
