Information about DHC
The letters DHC stand for `Downhill Control’ and mean that your M7 REMOTE will
maintain a controlled speed whilst travelling down hills. Whenever you are
looking to move the trolley in manual mode, even if just to reposition it
ready to use, always put it on a low speed setting to make it easier to steer.
Page 3
Safe use of your Trolley
Safe use of your Trolley The first time you use the M7 REMOTE, we would advise
using it on an open area of grass. The trolley speeds and steering
characteristics will vary depending on the surface. The M7 REMOTE will turn
much quicker on hard, smooth surfaces and will behave differently on grass.
You will also find that the weight of the golf bag will affect both speed and
steering. Motocaddy trolleys are designed for the transportation of golf bags
and clubs contained within. Using the trolley for any other purpose may cause
damage to the trolley and cause harm to the user. The following is not
intended to cover all possible situations. Caution and common sense should
always be used when operating the M7 REMOTE. · Never aim the M7 REMOTE at
other people or golf trolleys · Do not attempt to transport any other
equipment · The trolley is not designed for the transportation of people · Do
not use the trolley to assist you when going up hills · Submerging the trolley
in water (e.g. a lake) is likely to cause damage to the trolley · Do not
operate the trolley whilst under the influence of drugs or excessive amounts
of alcohol · All batteries must be disconnected from the trolley before
folding, storage and transportation · When using the M7 REMOTE in confined
spaces (for example car parks) or near water (such as over bridges)
it is advisable to use the `Manual’ control mode to ensure that you remain in
control of the trolley · Never let the M7 REMOTE run out of your sight. Always
use proper care and control
Do not attempt to steer the trolley manually when being used in Remote Control
mode. Motocaddy cannot take responsibility for any damage or injury caused
from improper use.

Safety Features / FCC Statement
Safety Cut-Off The M7 REMOTE trolley is fitted with safety cut off features.
Whilst operating the trolley via the remote control, if no command is sent to
the trolley (any buttons pressed) for longer than 120 seconds, the trolley
will stop. Whilst moving, if the trolley travels out of range of the remote
control, the trolley will also cut power to the motors. Whilst operating the
trolley in manual mode, if no adjustment to the speed is made via the dial for
longer than 10 minutes, the trolley will stop. If any of these safety features
initiate, pressing the on/off button or the + button of the remote handset
will restart the trolley. FCC Statement Please take attention that the changes
or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate equipment. This device complies
with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Trolley Care
Caring for your Trolley Although your Motocaddy trolley has been
weatherproofed, please follow these simple guidelines to help protect your
trolley: · Do not store your trolley outside · Try to minimise exposure to
rain as much as possible with an umbrella during heavy rainfall · Wipe excess
water from the trolley prior to storage · Never use a pressure washer to clean
your trolley. To prevent water damage, wipe down with a damp cloth · Avoid
using high pressure air hoses near moving components This Motocaddy trolley is
designed to require very little maintenance. We do however recommend giving
your trolley regular checks to ensure: · There is no build up of excess mud
and dirt · The front wheels are not clogged up and turn freely Only original
Motocaddy parts should be used when repairing your trolley.

Battery Care & Advice
Battery Care & Advice All batteries must be charged as soon as possible after
each use. Leaving batteries discharged for long periods of time will affect
the battery life. Please ensure that only batteries supplied by Motocaddy are
charged with Motocaddy chargers. Cyclic battery chargers are designed
specifically in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s requirements. The
Lithium battery charger MUST NOT be used to charge any other battery and is
designed for use with Motocaddy Lithium batteries only. The charger should
only be connected to an earthed socket outlet; the battery charger should only
be opened and maintained by authorised personnel. Unauthorised opening will
invalidate your warranty. The battery must be stored and charged on a dry non-
carpeted surface and charged at temperatures ranging between 10°C and 30°C.
Charging above or below these temperatures is not recommended as it can reduce
the battery capacity. When connecting your battery to the trolley, please
ensure that the connections match up black to black and grey to grey.
Page 7
Charging your Lithium Battery / Lithium Battery Care
Charging your Lithium Battery
1. Unplug the Lithium battery from the trolley. This should always be
performed before folding the trolley to avoid damage to the battery and/or
trolley
2. Plug the charger into your mains supply 3. Attach the battery cable to the
charger matching black to black and grey to grey 4. When the charging LED
indicator has turned green, the battery is fully charged and ready to be used
RED – Battery charging
GREEN – Battery fully charged and ready to be disconnected
5. The charging process will take between 3 to 5 hours depending on the depth
of discharge (please be aware that this may take longer for the first few
charges)
6. Once charging is complete please disconnect the charger from the mains
power supply 7. Finally disconnect the charger from the battery
If you connect the battery to the charger and the LED goes out, this is likely
to indicate that the battery is fully charged. Please double check the battery
on the trolley to ensure that it is fully working.
Caring for your Lithium Battery
· Try to avoid getting the battery too wet (i.e. do not submerge the battery,
avoid deep puddles and do not clean your trolley whilst the battery is still
in the battery tray)
· Dropping the battery may cause damage to the internal cells · Do not lift or
carry the battery by the cable · Use a damp cloth to clean off any dirt

Lithium Battery Care
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, it is advised to store the battery
half charged. To do this simply use the battery for a round of golf as usual
and charge it for 1.5 hours at the end of the round. Before the battery is
used again, recharge it (top it up) prior to use. 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. Please ensure
that the charger is ALWAYS disconnected from the battery after charging.
Battery Management System (BMS) Motocaddy Lithium batteries are fitted 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 voltage 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 todrop 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 The M7 REMOTE trolley does not have a specific left and
right wheel. To attach the rear wheels, follow these simple steps: 1. Push 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 confirm the wheel is in the correct position The outer
groove can be used as a “free-wheel” option if you run out of battery power.
To check you have attached the wheels correctly onto the inner groove, you
will find they will not rotate freely in either direction. Inverting the
Wheels The 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
Page 10
Attaching the Anti-Tip Wheel
Attaching the Anti-Tip Wheel
The Anti-Tip wheel is designed to prevent the trolley from tipping backwards
on steeper inclines and it is recommended that the wheel is ALWAYS fitted when
navigating using the remote control handset.
To attach the wheel, simply pull the grey button on the right-hand side out
and slide the wheel attachment into the housing. There will be a `click’ when
the wheel is fitted securely in place.
To remove the wheel, pull the grey button out and slide the attachment out of
the housing.
The Anti-Tip wheel can be removed for cleaning and storage purposes.

Setting trolley to run straight
Adjusting the Front Wheel Alignment If your trolley is not running in a
straight line, there are a couple of adjustments that can be made. This
problem can be caused by a number of factors including a slightly loose bag
support or an unevenly packed golf bag. The first thing to alter is the
alignment of the front wheel. This is to be completed on a flat level surface
whilst using the trolley in remote mode then follow these steps:
1. Rotate the front wheels 180° to allow access to the quick release lever
(fig. 1) 2. Pull down the quick release lever (fig. 2) 3. There are two small
metal dials on either side of the housing that are used to realign the wheel
(fig. 3) 4. If your trolley is veering to the right, you will need to turn the
left hand dial clockwise and the right hand dial anti-clockwise 5. If your
trolley is veering to the left, you will need to turn the right hand dial
clockwise and the left hand dial anti-clockwise 6. Push the quick release
lever back up until it firmly clips in to place (fig. 4) 7. Rotate the wheel
back 180° so that it sits underneath the housing (fig. 5) This procedure can
be carried out until the trolley is moving in a straight line (you may only
need to adjust one dial at a time).
These instructions are based on being in front of the trolley looking at the
wheel whilst it is in front of the housing.

Setting trolley to run straight
Troubleshooting If the trolley is now running straight in remote mode but not
in manual mode then the motors will need trimming. To do this follow these
steps: 1. The trolley should again be on a flat level ground, 2. Press and
hold the On/Off button for 4 seconds, the speed display will show “0” 3.
Turning the dial either clockwise or anti-clockwise will then change the
display to show 1-9, turning the dial anti-clockwise will
trim the trolley left and turning the dial clockwise will trim the trolley
right 4. Start by trimming gradually (1-3). After the value is adjusted, press
the button to return to normal operation 5. Then press the button to start the
trolley, check to see whether the trolley has been trimmed enough, if it
hasn’t and is still not
running straight, repeat the procedure and increase the value the trolley is
trimmed to

Operating the M7 REMOTE
Operating the trolley using the Remote Control handset When the battery is
first plugged in to the trolley the speed display will show 2, this is the
default speed that the trolley will always start at after it has been stopped.
To start the trolley, press the Plus (+)’ button on the remote control handset. ThePlus (+)’ and Minus (-)’ buttons can then be used to increase and decrease the speed to the required pace, the current speed will be shown on the display. TheLeft (<)’ and Right (>)’ buttons are used to steer the trolley, a quick press of the button will adjust the direction slightly at the current speed, a longer press of the left and right buttons will reduce the speed to turn the trolley, it will gradually increase the sharpness of the turn the longer the button is held. Release the button and the trolley will return to the original speed it was going. The trolley can be stopped quickly by pressing the stop button or gradually by decreasing the speed until it stops, the lowest speed setting in remote mode is 2, once you slow to speed 2 decreasing the speed once more will stop the trolley. When the trolley is stationary, pressing and holding theMinus (-)’ button will put the trolley
into reverse. Releasing the (-) button will stop the trolley. The trolley will
only reverse at one speed and cannot be steered whilst reversing.
Operating the trolley using Manual Control mode The M7 REMOTE can also easily
be used in manual mode. When the trolley is stationary, simply turn the dial
to select the desired speed and press the button to start the trolley. You can
also switch from remote mode to manual mode whilst the trolley is moving.
Simply turn the speed dial and the trolley will respond to the selected speed.
Whilst using the trolley in manual mode, you can quickly take control again
using the remote by pressing either the `Plus (+)’/ Left or Right Buttons, it
can also be stopped with the stop button. Pressing the Minus button will
decrease the speed but will leave the trolley in manual mode.
Page 21
Battery Meter / USB Charging Port
Battery Meter
The M7 REMOTE includes two on-screen battery meters which provide an indication of trolley (fig. 1a) and handset (fig. 1b) battery capacity. The number of illuminated bars will decrease as the battery capacity reduces.
A fully charged trolley battery will show from left to right – two short red bars, two medium orange bars and two larger green bars.
The trolley is designed to protect your battery from being fully discharged, should your battery capacity
drop too low the trolley will cut the power to the motor. If this should happen, please charge your Lithium
B
battery before further use.
Please be aware that certain moisture, temperature and humidity conditions can result in localised
misting within the display screen. This will not affect the trolley functionality, nor cause any damage
and will return to normal when adverse conditions subside.
USB Charging Port
A
Fig 1
This trolley features a USB charging port designed to charge USB powered devices during your round.
Simply remove the covering cap and plug a USB cable into the charging port located on the underside of the handle. The device will continue charging while the cable is attached and the battery is connected.
The rate of charge will be slower than a mains AC charger and similar to plugging the device into a PC. The USB charger takes power from the main trolley battery and continuous charging will reduce the battery capacity between charges. The trolley is designed to disable the USB port when the battery capacity reaches a preset level.
