IMPORTANT BATTERY SAFETY & CARE
Important Battery Safety & Care Information
• Always recharge as soon as possible after nishing your round, regardless of the number of holes played - ideally within
12 hours. Leaving batteries uncharged for extended periods may reduce capacity and could pose a signicant safety risk
which could result in re when the battery is charged. Batteries should always be fully charged prior to storing for long periods;
• Never leave batteries charging for longer than necessary - disconnect once the green LED light indicates the battery is fully charged;
• Ensure that only Motocaddy 28V Lithium batteries are charged with Motocaddy 28V Lithium battery chargers (Model LICH001MS)
and the charger is always connected to an earthed socket outlet;
• Batteries must be stored and charged on a dry, non-carpeted surface at a temperature ranging between 10°C and 30°C -
charging outside these temperatures may reduce capacity;
• The battery and charger must only be opened and maintained by authorised personnel. Unauthorised opening increases the
risk of safety issues and will invalidate your warranty;
• Take care not to drop the battery as this may cause damage to the internal cells which could affect battery performance and safety;
• Regularly check the battery for visible signs of damage. Do not charge or use the battery if any damage is suspected - contact our
Technical Support team immediately for advice;
• Use a damp cloth to clean off any dirt, but try to avoid getting the battery too wet (i.e. do not submerge, avoid deep puddles
and do not clean your trolley with the battery in the tray);
• WARNING: For the purposes of recharging the battery, only use the charger provided with this trolley;

IMPORTANT BATTERY SAFETY & CARE
We are dedicated to protecting the environment and encourage the recycling of Motocaddy products.
Exhausted and damaged batteries should be safely disposed of through a local recycling point (where available).
Alternatively, please contact our Customer Support team for further information regarding safe and responsible disposal.
• The battery supplied with this trolley contains battery cells that are non-replaceable;
• Only battery model 28.8V High Power ULTRA 316Wh can be used with this trolley;
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the trolley and safely disposed of;
• If the trolley is to be stored unused for a long period, the battery should be removed;
• The battery supply terminals must not to be short-circuited;
IMPORTANT - As with any electrical device, it is not recommended to leave batteries charging overnight or for prolonged
periods without supervision. Motocaddy Lithium batteries can be fully-charged from empty in less than 5 hours, so wait for
the charger light to turn green, switch off at the wall and unplug the battery ready for your next round.
WARNING - If the charger LED light flashes RED and/or GREEN consecutively when connected to the battery, this indicates
there is likely to be a fault with the battery or charger. It is important that you disconnect the charger immediately and contact
our support team for further assistance. Do not attempt to use the battery or charger as this could pose a signicant safety risk
which could result in re.

Charging your Lithium Battery
The Lithium battery can be left on the trolley or removed for charging. It is possible to charge the battery
while the trolley is folded or unfolded. If folded, the charging port will be automatically accessible (g. 1).
If removing the battery for charging, slide the battery release catch to the left (g. 2) and lift the battery
using the grab handles provided (g. 3). If the charging port is not visible - for example when the trolley is
unfolded or battery has been removed - it can be pulled out manually.
1. Plug the Motocaddy 28V Lithium battery charger into an earthed mains power socket
2. The charger light will be GREEN when not attached to a battery to indicate that it is ready to charge
3. Attach the charger cable to the charging port, matching the black and grey connections
4. The charger light will provide an indication of charging phase:
RED - Battery charging GREEN - Battery fully charged
5. The charging process will take between 3 to 5 hours depending on the depth of discharge.
This may take longer for the rst few charges
6. Once charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the mains power supply and battery
7. The charging port will need to be pushed into the battery to switch the power on for next use
WARNING - If the charger LED light flashes RED and/or GREEN consecutively when connected to
the battery, this indicates there is likely to be a fault with the battery or charger. It is important that you
disconnect the charger immediately and contact our support team for further assistance. Do not attempt
to use the battery or charger as this could pose a signicant safety risk which could result in re.
CHARGING YOUR LITHIUM BATTERY

BATTERY HIBERNATION / BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Recommendations for hibernation of Lithium Batteries during winter months
If for any reason your Lithium battery is not going to be used for lengthy periods, e.g. 3-months over the winter, the battery should
be stored fully charged. Before the battery is used again, recharge it (top it up) prior to use. The battery must not be left for longer
than 2-months without charging as this could invalidate your warranty.
We recognise that extended absences are not always planned in advance, however when it is likely that you will not be using your
battery for a period of time it is good practice to follow these steps to extend the life of your Lithium battery. Always recharge as
soon as possible after nishing your round, regardless of the number of holes played - ideally within 12 hours. Leaving batteries
uncharged for extended periods may reduce capacity and could pose a signicant safety risk which could result in re when the
battery is charged. Batteries should always be fully charged prior to storing for long periods. Please ensure that the charger is
ALWAYS disconnected from the battery after charging.
Battery Management System (BMS)
Motocaddy Lithium batteries are tted with a comprehensive battery management system (BMS) to protect the battery from
excessive abuse, high currents, deep discharge and overcharge. When the battery is delivered there may be no output as the BMS
is designed to maximize safety whilst shipping. Please ensure that the battery is fully charged prior to connecting it to your trolley
as this will activate the BMS and effectively ‘switch-on’ the battery. From time to time, at deep discharge or long term storage the
BMS may switch-off the battery. A full battery charge will rectify this problem.
Motocaddy golf trolleys are designed to work with the BMS system installed in the Lithium batteries and the battery meter is
also synchronised to work in conjunction with the battery. If for any reason the voltage on the battery falls below the low battery
warning on the trolley, then the BMS may disable the battery to protect it. Again if this occurs please recharge fully. Please be
aware that Lithium batteries tend to ‘drop off’ quickly at the end of the cycle so it is not advisable to attempt to play excessive
holes as the BMS will activate for protection purposes.

ATTACHING THE WHEELS / INVERTING THE WHEELS
Attaching the Wheels
This trolley does not have a specic left and right wheel. To attach the rear wheels, follow these simple steps:
1. Push and hold the quick release button in towards the centre of the wheel
2. Slide the wheel onto the trolley axle as far as it will go (onto the inner groove)
3. Once in position, release the button and pull the wheel outwards slightly to lock
4. An audible ‘click’ will conrm the wheel is in the correct position
To check you have attached the wheels correctly onto the inner groove, you will nd they will not rotate freely in either direction.
The outer groove can be used as a “free-wheel” option if you run out of battery power. Simply slide the wheel onto the outer groove
and pull the wheel outwards slightly to lock. Once connected, the wheel will spin freely without resistance in both directions.
Inverting the Wheels
The rear wheels can be inverted to reduce the trolley width for transportation and storage.
1. Push and hold the quick release button while sliding the wheel off the axle
2. Flip the wheel over, push and hold the button, then slide onto the axle
3. Release the button and pull the wheel out slightly until it engages with the free wheel groove
It is important the wheels are not pushed on too far. They should not touch the battery tray.
