Powakaddy Compact C2i - Golf Trolley Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the new PowaKaddy Compact C2i Trolley. We hope you enjoy your new trolley and welcome your feedback and comments. Please read these instructions carefully. Battery care is very important, please refer to the back page of this manual for battery care instructions.

When you receive your new PowaKaddy you will have the following:

1 x Trolley | 1 x Lithium Battery | 1 x Charger | 2 x Wheels | 1 x Instruction pack

You must fully charge your battery before using your trolley.
Always recharge your battery within 24 hrs of use. Failure to do so could reduce the life of your battery. See section 6 Battery Care for further infromation.

Note: Your new Lithium or Lithium Extended battery is stored in the frame inside the trolley packaging.

Remove the battery and activate using the isolation switch located on the underside of the battery. (See Section 2 Plug'n'Play™ for battery removal)

Getting Started

The rear wheels are assembled and released by pressing the black release clip and pushing onto the axle until the clutch is engaged. Note: the wheels can be locked into two positions on the axle; push onto the inner groove to engage drive. The outer groove can be used when drive is not required. To open the frame, pull the yellow release handle (1) down and unfold the front wheel so the frame is flat. Release the cam lock lever under the handle right side (2) and then press the release button (3) and lift the handle up to open the upper frame. Ensure the middle joint is open fully to the stop position on this joint before closing the same cam lock lever.

Plug'n'Play

Your C2i trolley features an innovative Plug'n'Play™ battery system including sprung terminals and a locking feature to maintain power connection over uneven terrain. Once your battery is charged and trolley assembled, connect your battery as shown.

1. Engage the rear of the battery first.
2. Press the front until the battery clips into position. The trolleys power will automatically be connected.

To remove the battery depress the latch in front of the battery and lift the battery out.

Note: The Lithium battery can be stored within the tray for transportation. Please ensure you de-activate the battery using the red isolation switch located on the underside. Leaving your battery in the ON (1) position could lead to your battery discharging or trolley activating during transportation.

Front Wheel Adjustment

Your trolley will already be pre-set to run straight. If you find your trolley tracking to the left or right you can re-adjust this by releasing the front wheel lever and rotating the adjustment roller. Rotate up to make your trolley track more to the LEFT and rotate down to track more to the RIGHT. Once you are happy the trolley is running straight re-apply the lever to lock in position.

Handle Height Adjustment

The PowaKaddy C2i has a handle height adjust feature that allows you to position and lock the handle in 3 different positions depending on your height. Once adjusted the frame will close and open to the same handle position each time so you only need to adjust once. For convenience each trolley is supplied in the centre height position, which should be ideal for most users.

Should you need to adjust the handle height un screw the fastener in the centre of the upper joint (highlighted red) and lift the height adjustment plate underneath shown below. There are 3 positions indicated on the upper joint and the corresponding feature on the height adjust plate. Move the handle and upper frame up or down to the desired position and tighten the screw again to secure at the new height.

Controls Overview

The all new C2i features a bright colour multi-function display packed with additional features to enhance your game.

Note: The C2i Compact Range now includes a power save mode as standard on all models to extend the life of your battery. If you have the trolley powered and do not use the trolley for more than 20 mins, the display will automatically power off to save energy. When you are ready to move off simply press or move the control dial on the handle to wake up the display.

The ADF function is a convenient way of sending your trolley a set distance. (15, 30, 45 yards or meters) For example when you are approaching a green you can send the trolley towards the next tee if the route allows. Please note it is not recommended to send your trolley unattended over steep or rough terrain. To activate when trolley is in pause mode:

Central Control Knob:

Understanding the Battery Gauge

The battery gauge on the C2i is similar to a car fuel gauge - F (full), ½ (half full) & E (empty). There are five blue bars and depending on the charge state of your battery will determine how many bars illuminate. When a fully charged battery is connected to the trolley all five blue bars will illuminate.

As you progress through your round the blue bars will extinguish from full to empty. When the fifth blue bar is extinguished it indicates that the battery is flat. When your battery is new you may lose only one or two bars during the entire round. As your battery ages, you may lose more bars.

If you lose all the blue bars this could indicate; (1) you may not have fully charged your battery (2) your battery is nearing the end of its useful life and you should consider buying a replacement.

Factory Settings

Your new C2i trolley is ready to use, but there are a number of preferences you can change in the programming mode. To enter programming mode:

1. Connect the battery to the trolley.
2. With the trolley powered and the default display shown press and hold both function buttons for 3 seconds. The main features on the display will be replaced by the clock flashing in the top left hand corner of the display.
3. Press the right function button to scroll through the options.
4. Select or modify the option by pressing the central control knob, then use the dial to adjust the setting or input values.
5. Press and hold both function buttons to save and exit after changing any settings. The display will then return to the default display.

Each of the Factory Settings are detailed below:

Time: With the clock flashing rotate the control knob to the required digit and press to save each digit.

COMP Mode: With 'COMP' highlighted on the display press the control knob to turn the 'competition' mode on and off. This will disable ADF and distance functions measurement.

Security Pin: With the padlock icon highlighted you can turn the PIN function on and off by pressing the central control knob. To select your security PIN rotate the control knob to select your 4 digit code, save each digit by pressing the control knob. Repeat for each digit and then press and hold both buttons to save the new PIN.

Note: if you have added a PIN lock this will be required every time you turn the trolley on. In the event you have forgotten your PIN you can use the default factory PIN: 7921 to unlock the controls.

Battery Care

Your C2i trolley features an innovative Plug'n'Play™ battery system. To maximise your battery life please take time to read the following battery care and charging instructions.

Batteries available are as follows:

Lithium 18 Hole
Lithium Extended 36 Hole*

*In normal conditions the Extended batteries will do 36 holes when used on a PowaKaddy trolley. Conditions such as long or exceptionally hilly courses, wet ground conditions and excessively heavy golf bags may reduce the range of the battery.
