This electronic version of the User's Manual will be updated as necessary from time to time - as dictated by changes in the trolley design and manufacture, or of its components and operation. In most cases it will refer to the latest model version. Please note that if you have previously accessed this page that you should always press the "REFRESH" button on your browser to ensure that you are looking at the current version of this manual. INTRODUCTION After unpacking the trolley place the battery on charge. IMPORTANT - LEAD ACID BATTERIES If the LED light on the charger does not turn from Red to Green after about 6 to 8 hours, disconnect the charger. It is important to not charge the battery for a longer period than this - to avoid overcharging and possibly damaging the lead acid battery note that this does NOT apply to lithium-ion batteries. IMPORTANT - LITHIUM-ion BATTERIES The new chargers for the lithium-ion batteries have a voltage selector switch.- 110 v or 230 v. If you are using this in the USA this switch needs to be in the 110 v  position. Lithium-ion batteries should be charged a minimum of 8-hours before use. If you have a lithium battery please also read the notes on maintenance and care at : See separate dedicated section on charging and maintenance of the SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) battery. After unpacking please keep the special carton and all internal sections in safe storage. In the unlikely possibility that you need to return the whole unit due to a problem which cannot be fixed locally, you will need to repack the unit in the original manner to ensure safe and secure transit. We understand that it is onerous to store large items but this could be very important for you. Check all accessories are included in the package – The main trolley frame. Drive wheels Stabilizer wheel assembly Remote control transmitter assembly Battery complete with battery bag Battery charger Tool kit If any of the above contents are missing or damaged, please retain the packing sheet from inside of the carton, note the serial number of the unit, and contact us through the contact page of this website. Please note that our design and manufacturing policy is aimed at continuous improvement – this can result in changes without notice to the specifications contained in our websites and in this manual. Please read through this manual carefully before use – in particular the section on battery cover connections and battery charging.

Take trolley and all parts out of carton. Keep carton and packing in a safe place The only component needing to be fixed (with the bolt supplied) is the front wheel assembly - see below. Other components that are dismounted from the caddy (to reduce the shipping size of the carton) are the two drive wheels and the rear stabilizer wheel assembly. These items have spring-loaded connections and can be easily connected in seconds.	Depress the spring-loaded knob on the catch mechanism on the outside of the drive wheel and slide the wheel on to the axle until it fully engages with the drive coupling. Release the knob cap to fix the wheel on the axle. Test to ensure that it is securely fastened
	Lift the main frame (B) upward to meet the support frame (C) as Fig.3 shows
Engage the slots on the tip of the main frame  (B)  with the locking bar  (A)  on the support frame as shown in Fig 4.
Lift the upper handle frame (D) over the central locking hinge. Press the metal latch on the hinge and ensure that the hinge locks securely in position around the support frame bar (A).
DRIVE WHEELS
There is a spring loaded catch on the side of the drive wheels (air-tires pictured here but similar catch mechanism on sport wheels). Depressing this button allows wheel to be slid onto the axle. Insert axle all of the way into the wheel hub – then pull gently out until the locking catch can engage into the innermost of the two slots in the axle (the outer slot is for freewheeling).

BATTERY CARE – CHARGING - MAINTENANCE - AND SULPHATING PROCEDURES

NOTE : this section relates only to SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries - for information on care and maintenance on your Lithium-ion battery please click this link

If your battery leads are not already connected please attach them as follows:

First thread the leads through a hole in the side of the bag (if there is one) then using the screws provided connect the red battery lead (+) to the red battery terminal (+), and the black (-) battery lead to the black battery terminal (-), making sure that the metal connection points are clean and the screws are tightened.

• Replacement batteries are expensive. In order to maximize the life of your battery, please note the following important instructions
• IMPORTANT. You must give your battery an initial ‘commissioning' charge before using it for the first time. Charge your battery for a minimum of 24 hours, even if the green light appears soon after commencing charging.
• Always start every round with a fully charged battery.
• It will probably take three initial charge and use cycles before it settles in

Charge your battery as soon as possible after every round (certainly within 24 hours) even if you have played only a few holes. This will maximize the life of your battery.

To charge your battery, ensure your charger is not connected to the AC supply and connect it to the battery. Connect the charger to the main AC electrical supply. If the green light on your charger flashes, switch off immediately and check the polarity of the charger leads. The charger light will turn red indicating that charging is taking place. When your battery is charged, the light will turn from red to green. With a new or fully charged battery, the red light may show only for a short time before turning green.
Ideally, you should charge your battery for a minimum of 8 hours, even if the red light turns green before this. This will ensure that the maximum charge is put into the battery and will increase battery life.

The charger supplied with your trolley is a modern 3 stage charger. If not being used, we recommend that you leave the battery connected to the charger and to the main AC supply until the next time you play golf, up to a maximum of about 2 weeks. The electronic circuits in the charger will protect your battery from over-charging and will ensure your battery capacity is kept topped-up.

Disconnect the charger from the AC supply before disconnecting the battery. If you do not intend to use your trolley for several months, fully charge the battery and then disconnect from the charger. Recharge your battery every 2 months. Leaving the battery on charge for an extended period may cause the battery to dry out and shorten the life of both the battery and charger.

• DO NOT leave the charger connected to the AC supply if the battery is not attached. This will shorten the life of the charger.
• DO NOT leave the charger connected to the battery if it is not connected to the AC supply. This will discharge your battery.
• DO NOT charge your battery on a concrete floor - always charge on a shelf/bench or  place the battery on a plank of wood.
• NEVER allow your battery to freeze. This will permanently damage the battery.
• DO NOT store battery in a hot place such as the trunk of your car
• ALWAYS keep you battery charged between games
• DO NOT connect your battery to any other apparatus other than your golf cart (the controller of which protects the battery from over discharge)

The above procedures are designed to maximize the life of your battery.

LONG TERM BATTERY CARE

Battery performance can gradually reduce due to the effects of sulphation - see section below for details - and appears like a type of ‘memory effect'. Ideally, all golf cart batteries should be "fully discharged" every month or so to prevent this happening. Please note that "fully discharged" is NOT Zero %. - it is actually describing a condition where the controller turns off power to the trolley from the battery - at a relatively high percentage of its capacity. When using the trolley to discharge the battery the controller will automatically cut-out further operation when the battery charge reached a level of about 10.8 volts - this cut-out is designed to prevent over-discharge of the battery. You should never discharge the battery using any other means. If the capacity of the battery is reduced to below 50% of its capacity it will be virtually impossible to recharge or use the battery. For example some mechanically minded users might think of using an auto-headlamp, or other load, for this discharge process - this should never be done, as it will definitely cause over-discharge and permanent damage to the battery
See notes below describing the suggested de-sulphation procedure.

SULPHATION

When a golf battery is not charged after use, or used to its full capacity, or becomes over-discharged, sulphation of the battery plates may occur.
This is particularly common where a high-capacity (27/36 hole) battery is used mainly for only 18 holes, but can affect any modern battery.
Basically, sulphation is a chemical change where lead sulphate is deposited on the battery plates and prevents charge getting in or out of the battery.

PREVENTION

Ideally, all golf batteries should be discharged every month or so to prevent the occurrence of sulphation.
Fully discharge the battery every 4 to 6 weeks by removing the two drive wheels, and operating the cart in manual mode to let the battery run down.
When the motor has stopped, charge your battery as normal.

CLEARANCE PROCEDURE

If your battery does begin to sulphate - for instance performance gradually declines and the battery no longer manages 18 holes - the sulphation can possibly be removed by the following procedure:

• Fully charge your battery for at least 12 hours, even if the green light comes on during this time
• As soon as possible after charging, put the battery on the trolley and remove the two drive wheels
• Operate the trolley in manual mode and let it run until the battery is fully discharged – the cut-out in the trolley controller will operate when the trolley reaches its discharge level – this may take several hours as the trolley has no load on it
• As soon as possible, fully recharge the battery and repeat the procedure 3 more times

The rapid charging/discharging should help to break down any built-up sulphate and restore your battery capacity. This should help to allow the longest possible life for your battery – it is sulphation which ‘kills' batteries prematurely.
The chemical deposition is not a fault with either the battery or the charger, it is simply a result of under-discharge. It is not covered by the Warranty.

THREE STAGE CHARGERS

STAGE 1

CONSTANT CURRENT CHARGE – RAPID CHARGE

The LED light stays red during this charging stage.
The charger is designed to allow rapid-charging up to 90% of the battery capacity.
When the rapid-charging phase is completed, the green charging light will come on. When this is reached, the battery can be used but it is not fully charged. The remaining 10% of the charge is put in much more slowly on a trickle-charge - see Stage 3 below

STAGE 2

TRICKLE CHARGE

The LED indicator light will turn to green.
The charger will maintain the battery at over 13 volts.
The battery should now have about 90% of its capacity. If rapid charging were to continue past this stage the battery would overheat and distort, leading to the battery being permanently damaged. It is for this reason that other chargers - like automobile-chargers should never be used to charge your trolley battery. This stage-3 trickle-charge is at a much lower current – dropping quickly from 3 Amps down to around 0.4 amps, or lower, and can take several hours to complete – hence our suggestion of 12 hours total charging time

STAGE 3

FLOAT CHARGE

At the end of the stage-2 trickle-charge the charger switches to a very small ‘Float' charge of <0.1 Amps. This very low level maintains the optimum charge and if necessary allows your charger to remain connected to the battery until the next time you use it.
With normal 2-stage chargers, you MUST disconnect the battery after 12 hours otherwise it will overheat. Kölnex supply only 3 stage or 4-stage chargers which include a Float stage, and can be left on-charge for over 12-hours, nevertheless we recommend that you generally disconnect your battery from the charger after 24-hours.

WINTER BATTERY CHARGING

If you are unlikely to use your battery for a long period, especially in winter. Fully charge your battery, disconnect and store it in a cool, dry place away from frost.
Put the battery back on charge every 4/6 weeks to top it up and store it again.
Fully charge the battery again just before you play.
If you leave your battery connected to the charger for an extended period, there is the possibility that even the persistent ‘float' current can cause the battery acid to evaporate and reduce the battery life.
Never allow your battery to freeze. This will permanently damage the battery.
The above procedures are designed to maximize the life of your battery.

SAFETY FIRST

Always charge your battery in a cool, dry place away from any flammable materials. Charge in a well ventilated area

CHECKS BEFORE OPERATION Read the separate section  on BATTERY MAINTENANCE. This is most important. IMPORTANT Put the battery on charge for at least 24-hours before using on the golf course. The battery will probably be delivered to you with some charge capacity already, however it is most important that you completely charge the battery before use. For subsequent charges 12-hours should be sufficient - see notes on charging below. IMPORTANT See section below on BATTERY CONNECTIONS. Ensure that the connections to the battery terminal posts are clean and securely tightened. Check that the plug into the battery is firmly connected Install the battery onto the battery tray on golf caddy. Ensure the speed knob is in the off position. Connect the battery power lead to the controller Manual operation from the handle - see below Remote operation using transmitter - see below After each round, disconnect the battery from the golf caddy and connect to charger on arriving home. Connect charger to AC supply. After charging do NOT leave charger connected to AC supply. Never leave the battery in an uncharged condition or use a battery that is not fully charged. These practices will severely shorten the service life of the battery
SWITCHING THE TROLLEY ON & OFF To turn on - holding the handle firmly depress the left button for about 2 seconds until the LED light illuminates - shows solid  ”00” - then release. To turn off - depress same switch and hold for about 2 seconds.
MANUAL CONTROL The speed is increased by turning  the speed knob clockwise.  The selected speed indicated by digits 1 through 7 The LED light will not flash when the caddy is moving. A short press of the left pause button will pause motion -  press again to restart at same speed.  Turn the caddy OFF by pressing the left button for about two seconds
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION Once the trolley has been turned on manually (see above) you can control the speed and direction by using the Remote Control Transmitter. To initiate remote control, switch on the transmitter, turn the trolley on manually and then press a button on the remote control within 3 seconds. Once the trolley begins to move, the system is initiated and will remain so until the trolley is switched off. IMPORTANT : please note that all remote operation trolleys have to be fitted with an Auto-Stop device. This is in effect a "Dead-Man's switch". This automatic function of the controller is a safety measure to ensure that your trolley does not get away from your control and become damaged or immersed in water. From the last time that you touched any button on the transmitter, the controller will stop the movement of the cart after approximately 40 seconds. At maximum speed the trolley will go forward about 75 yards in that time - dependent upon where it was when you last touched a button this could still be over a hill and out of sight, but at least it will stop. In the absence of this function the trolley would quickly pass out of the range of your transmitter, and then keep moving forward until the battery ran out - inevitably causing damage.
SYNCRONISING OR REPLACING THE TRANSMITTER When delivered your transmitter should be synced to the controller. However if the original transmitter is lost or broken it is a simple process to match the code of the controller to that of the new transmitter. First turn OFF the ON/OFF switch at the handle Then holding the new transmitter near to the cart depress the Forward button and hold it depressed Then turn ON the ON/OFF switch on the cart handle Continue to hold the Forward button depressed for at least 25 seconds. (note that this syncing period has been extended considerably to avoid the possibility of accidental syncing between two users) The controller on the cart should now be synchronized to the new transmitter. It is not practical to have and operate two separate transmitters because you would have to re-synchronize the cart controller to the controller each time of use.
TRANSMITTER On some transmitters there is an ON/OFF switch on the back - check to see if yours has this switch. If it does the "N" indicates ON and the "F" indicates OFF There is a cluster of 6 buttons in the middle of the front face of the remote control transmitter
The left direction arrow turns the cart to the left - see Correctional Turns below
The right direction arrow turns the cart to the right - see Correctional Turns below
The “Up” direction button makes the cart go in a forward direction. It also provides acceleration in proportion to the incremental pressing of this button up to a total of 5-clicks
The “Down” direction button makes the cart go in the reverse direction. It is necessary to bring the trolley to a complete standstill before changing directions – forward to reverse – or reverse to forward. This button is also used for braking (reducing speed)
The STOP button is used to stop the cart. One click will cut power and slow the cart. A second click immediately following the first click will STOP the cart
The bottom button is the Pause button. One press to stop and pause the movement of the caddy - a second press will resume movement at the speed previously set.
Correctional turns Take a little time to practice the difference between a single touch of a key and a slightly prolonged push - especially with left and right turn functions. The controller in the TXR caddy is capable of producing a smooth 2-stage correctional turn. To achieve this smooth gentle turn the controller does not stop one wheel completely - it slows it down for a short period. This not only makes for a smooth turn but dramatically reduces any shock being transmitted back through the gearbox. The new 2-stage correctional turn involves a delicate finger press on a turn button. The first touch of the button starts the first gentle stage of the turn - and holding that touch just a fraction longer (a total of less than one second) will complete the turn. This is not difficult and will come quickly with use. 1st stage - one single touch of turn button (takes less than a half-second) - reduces power to inside motor by 50% for a period of 0.5 second 2nd stage - continue to hold same turn button a fraction longer - for a total of about 1 full second - then reduces power to inside motor to 8% - increases the angle and completed the turn A hard turn is not used very much, and involves turning the caddy quickly through 90 degrees or more, for a complete change of direction. For this turn just hold down the button for a longer time.
Never store the transmitter in a pocket with metal or sharp objects, or loose change. Because of the need for a removable battery cover, the transmitter is NOT waterproof. Take care when playing in rain (you may wish to place the transmitter in a polythene bag to prevent water ingress) or use the transmitter in a pocket or under a jacket. NEVER immerse the transmitter in water. The LED light on the transmitter will appear as a solid red light when a function key is pressed. If the light is dimmed, it indicates that the battery in the transmitter is running low. Replace the battery as soon as possible. If the battery power is running low, the control distance of the remote will be reduced. If in doubt check the battery for full 12 volts. The transmitter uses a replaceable battery. Slide open the battery compartment to replace the battery. The transmitter takes a replaceable AAA battery, you will need to carefully remove the battery compartment cover to replace it. Carrying a spare backup battery with you is always a good idea. Don't use rechargeable batteries as these batteries do not give sufficient voltage for optimum operation. Avoid using excessive force when pressing the function keys on the transmitter If you don't press a command button within about 40 seconds, the trolley will stop. However try to keep the trolley typically within a safe 50-yard distance from you
Battery power cut-off feature in controller The controller will automatically cut off power drain from the battery if the voltage becomes too low - this applies to Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries and is to protect the battery To ensure you can utilize the maximum capacity from your battery the new controller will now automatically cut off further power usage whenever the battery voltage drops down to 10.2 volts - not 10.8 volts as with previous models This ensures that users with lithium-ion batteries maximize the benefits of deep capacity usage.

ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT Loosen the axle nuts using two 14mm wrenches. This will allow front wheel movement – left or right – up to 5 degrees. Re-tighten securely. More than one such adjustment might be necessary to achieve alignment.

Before making any adjustments it should be understood that a golf trolley with a very narrow wheelbase and with an uneven – and sometimes shifting – load will probably never be able to maintain a forward direction and a straight line – mainly because even a small directional bias at the start quickly magnifies to a much larger directional deviation. Indeed the whole point of having a remote operation cart is to be able to ignore the exact position of the cart – as long as it is within the fairway and clear of other golfers and water hazards. The user has the ability to bring his cart and clubs over to him when he gets up to his ball

At this time there are two wheel types available for the TXR 360 caddy - or as replacement parts for older trolleys. The wheels currently available are either the type JSW sport wheel (in white) or the type QT air-tire
type QT air tire	type JSW sport wheel - white
The axle is located to the hub of all wheel types by a 3-pronged drive coupling. However in since the distance from the catch mechanism to the hole drilled into the axle is not always the same on different wheels we have now made available a Universal Drive Coupling which can be used instead of the standard coupling when exchanging or replacing wheels. To attach the Air Tires press the button on the catch mechanism downwards. To attach the Sport wheels press the small button sideways. To attach the new white foam wheels, push the button inwards. Then slide the wheel on as far as possible. It will engage into the slotted groove on the axle, and the hub to the drive-coupling. Once in the place, release the button and pull the wheel outwards slightly to lock in place. You will hear a small click.
When releasing this spring-loaded section check that  it is securely located and cannot be pulled outwards. Install both of the drive wheels (note Left and Right handing on some sport wheels - marked clearly on the inside of the hubs with an L or an R).
