Assemble the CaddieCommand to your Hillcrest or Hillcrest AB as instructed. Familiarize yourself with the controls on the hand-held transmitter.
To operate the motorcaddie in the remote mode, turn ON the distance timer. Turn the
power switch ON. The hand-held transmitter is now controlling the motorcaddie.
NOTE: When using the CaddieCommand the distance timer
becomes an ON/OFF switch for the remote system, and will
not function as a normal distance timer.
Set the Speed Control Thumb Wheel on the Hillcrest handle to match your walking pace. To start the motorcaddie, PRESS GO button on transmitter. Hillcrest will start and ramp up to your preset speed. PRESS GO button a second time and the Hillcrest will automatically increase and ramp up to 90% of its maximum speed (approximately 4.5 mph). PRESS GO button a third time and the Hillcrest will automatically decrease its speed to your original preset speed. PRESS GO a fourth time and it will increase and so on. . . every alternate activation of the GO button will increase or decrease motorcaddie speed.
To start the motorcaddie, PRESS GO. To steer, PRESS AND HOLD the appropriate Arrow Button. Once the turn is achieved, release the button and in two seconds the front wheel will automatically return to center. NOTE: The directional buttons will operate when the motorcaddie is stopped.
To stop the motorcaddie, PRESS STOP. (Pressing the stop button on the transmitter DOES NOT activate the Hillcrest AB’s maximum braking system for motorcaddies with serial numbers below 87737. To achieve maximum braking the power switch must be turned OFF manually). If you stop the motorcaddie on a hill, always turn it across the slope to park it. Kangaroo Motorcaddies DO NOT have a parking brake and will creep down a hill on their own.
Hillcrest AB’s with a serial # 87737 or higher are fitted with an electronic control board that activates Automatic Braking (AB) with CaddieCommand when the STOP button is pushed. To stop the motorcaddie, PRESS STOP. If you stop the motorcaddie on a steep hill, you may need to turn it across the slope to park it. Kangaroo motorcaddies DO NOT have a parking brake and may creep down a hill on their own. Play it Safe
Expect an orientation period to learn the controls of the CaddieCommand. Do
not try to learn the controls in close quarters. Never try to operate the
motorcaddie while it is out of your sight! Play it safe! Your new Kangaroo
is not a toy. Always use common sense while operating.
Manual Operation
