The control cable plug aligns with the receptacle by a lug and corresponding notch arrangement. Always
handle the plug when connecting or disconnecting the control cable. Pulling on the wire can cause damage.
Also, keep the plug and receptacle clean.
CABLE PLUG AND RECEPTACLE
HILLCREST ASSEMBLY
FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT: Each Hillcrest motorcaddie is precisely aligned to run
straight during final testing. Rough shipping or hard use can sometimes cause misalignment of
the front wheel. If you experience directional problems, first test your Hillcrest on level
pavement while experimenting with different weight distributions in your golf bag. If the
problem appears to be in the front wheel alignment, correction can be made by loosening the
screws at the ends of the front axle and repositioning wheel and axle in the slotted screw holes.
The slot on the left is horizontal and on the right is vertical (direction as viewed from behind
Hillcrest). Adjust left side first. Try Hillcrest. If more adjustment is required, do the right
side. Re-tighten securely.
1. While using the battery tray hand-hold to steady the chassis, guide the lower front wheel tubing
into the receptacle in the chassis as shown on opposite page. Secure the draw-latch.
(See draw-latch details next page.)
2. Insert the upper handle tubing into the chassis, as shown, and secure the draw-latch.
NOTE: At this, or some previous point in assembling your caddie for use, establish the habit of
making sure the control switches are in the “OFF” position before the battery cables are
connected.
3. Study the control cable plug and receptacle diagram below. Connect the cable plug.
4. Set the battery into the battery tray and connect the battery cables. The red cable clips to the
red (+) terminal and the black cable connects to the plain (-) terminal. If the cables are accidentally
reversed, your Hillcrest will not respond until the polarity is corrected. The Hillcrest is equipped
with reverse polarity protection.
5. The upper bag support is designed to fold up for transport and storage ease. Pull it down on its
stop rest and the Hillcrest is ready for your golf bag. Opening of upper bag support yoke can be
adjusted to grip your golf bag by grabbing ends of yoke and bending it more open or closed, as
needed.
This yoke is attached to the upper handle tubing at the best position to hold most golf bags
securely. If you have an unusual bag, or a personal preference for its position, the yoke can be
moved up or down the tubing to any point you like. The clamp is secured with four 5/32" allen-type
machine screws and a suitable wrench is provided with your Hillcrest. Re-tighten securely. Your
Hillcrest comes with an assortment of allen-type wrenches. They are provided for adjusting the
upper bag yoke, keeping screws tight, and for adding accessories.
