OTHER Q FOLLOW FEATURES

HANDLE FEATURES

As standard the Q Follow has:

•  Built in scorecard and pencil holder.
•  Handset cradle.
•  Umbrella holder mount.
•  Dual handset cradle.

CRUISE CONTOL SPEEDS

Your Q Follow has two Cruise Control speeds, on buttons 1 and 2. You can program these for 

your own walking speeds as follows:

1.  Use the speed up and slow down buttons to find your desired walking speed.
2.  Press and hold either button 1 or 2 for three seconds. The machine will stop to show that 

the instruction has been received. Now release the button and the machine will restart. 

Your new speed is now stored. 

3.  To activate the new speed 1 or 2, just press and release the button as normal. 

TRIM ADJUSTMENT

If your motors become unbalanced for any reason, your Q Follow may develop a bias. If this 

happens, you can adjust the trim as follows:

1.  Ensure that your machine is on a flat surface and that your golf bag is balanced            

(no heavy items in side pockets).

2.  Hold down the lower left two buttons (1 and Follow) for three seconds. The machine will 

start moving forwards.

3.  Use the left and right buttons to fine tune the direction until the machine is travelling in a 

straight line. Alternatively press the forward button to restore the factory setting.

4.  Press STOP to store the new setting. 

FAQ

How should I clean the Q Follow?

After your round, clear grass, leaves and dust etc from the machine using a soft cloth/brush or 

compressed air. Clean your Q Follow using standard furniture polish and a soft cloth. 

NEVER

 use a hose or pressure washer to clean the Q Follow: faults caused by water ingress will 

not be covered by the warranty. Water cannot enter the motors or electronics in normal use.

Is the Q Follow OK to use in the rain?

Yes. The Q Follow is designed for use in all conditions appropriate for golf. The design of the Q 

Follow protects the major components from rain, so water ingress cannot occur during normal 

use. You should avoid any situation where moisture or water could reach the electronics or 

motors. Some examples of this are:

•  Driving through puddles or standing water.
•  Submerging the machine in a river or lake.

Faults caused by water ingress will not be covered under the warranty.

How do I get the Q Follow up a step or kerb?

Firstly exert downward pressure on the handle to lift the front wheels onto the higher level.       

If the natural traction of the rear wheels do not carry the rear of the machine onto the higher 

level, lift from the top of the main support. 

How many holes will the battery last for?

We expect any genuine Stewart Golf battery to last 18 holes on a ‘normal’ course, with a ‘normal’ 

weight bag and in ‘normal’ conditions. 

However... a hole of golf can be anywhere between 100 and 600 yards long, so is not a reliable 

unit of measurement. Terrain, ground condition, bag weight and a number of other factors can 

make a difference. How you play will also affect power consumption; you’ll cover less ground 

shooting 65 than you will shooting 120.

Can I improve the battery life?

Yes, there are a number of things you can do:

•  Don’t overload your golf bag.
•  Steering is a big source of power consumption, so use Remote steering and Follow less if 

you want to conserve energy.

•  Accelerate slowly, in the same way you would in a car if you were trying to be efficient.

Be sure to download the free smartphone app which will allow you to measure exactly how 

much power you use on your round, and try different variables to see how much diffrerence it 

makes. 

Can I use the Q Follow without the handset?

No. The Q Follow can only be operated via the handset (unless the wheels are in freewheel).

Can the Q Follow cope on hills?

Yes. The Q Follow chassis has been designed with stability in mind. The machine may tip onto 

the rear stabiliser wheels, but if this happens don’t worry as that’s what they are designed to do. 

Bag weight and weight distribution makes a big difference here, a light and/or top heavy bag 

will not put enough weight on the front wheels and therefore it may tip easily. You will find out 

which hills work with your particular setup through experience. Please refer to P14 for more 

information. 

When going down hill using remote control, the Q Follow may speed up under gravity. Hold the 

handle if on a path or allow the machine to travel safely away from you, then use the red ‘STOP’ 

button to apply the brake. Always park at 90 degrees to a slope. 

QUICK-RELEASE REAR WHEELS

To remove a wheel:

1.  Tilt the machine (holding the main support) 

        so that one wheel is off the floor. 

2.  Hold the centre of the wheel and press the black 

        button with your thumb, and pull the wheel away.

FREEWHEEL

The Q Follow has a freewheel setting which allows you to complete your round even in the 

unlikely event of a fault. To engage this mode:

1.  Tilt the machine so that one wheel is off the floor (hold the main support).
2.  Press down on the black button in the wheel centre and slide the wheel 25mm (1”) away 

from the motor, but still on the axle.

3.  Rotate the wheel 45 degrees, and push it towards the motor until it stops, engaging the 

wheel on the outer ring of the axle.

4.  Release the black button and the wheel should now be locked on to the shaft, but not 

engaged onto the drive dog. You may find it easier to pull the Q Follow than push it when 
in freewheel.
