Safety Information
Your trolley is built to aviation-grade standards, but safe operation is your responsibility. Read these precautions before first use.
General precautions
- Always operate your trolley in a safe and responsible manner.
- Do not use the trolley to transport people, animals, or heavy equipment.
- Do not operate the trolley under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Keep the trolley away from water, including puddles and rain whenever possible.
- Always keep the trolley within your line of sight during operation.
Safe use
- Practice in open areas to become familiar with the controls before first use.
- Be cautious on uneven, wet, steep, or unstable ground.
- Do not aim the trolley toward other people, vehicles, or hazards.
- Use extra caution near bridges, bunkers, sprinkler holes, ditches, cart paths, parking lots, water hazards, and steep drop-offs.
- Use Send Ahead only in open, hazard-free areas where you have a clear view of the trolley's full path.
Battery safety
- Fully charge the battery before first use.
- Use only the supplied charger.
- Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures.

Assembly & Setup
Set-up takes only a few minutes. Work through these steps in order: wheels first, then the frame, then battery and bag.

Wheel installation
- Press the locking button on the wheel.
- Slide the wheel fully onto the axle.

- Slide the anti-tip wheel post into the receiver housing.
- Set the wheel position: storage fully inserted, operating extended.
Do not apply unnecessary downward force to the anti-tip wheel.
Frame & handle setup

- Lift the frame until it locks into place.
- Release the handle latch.
- Raise the handle to the desired height, then close the latch securely.

Your M-DHC
Three ways to walk. The in-depth video covers every mode. Watch it before your first round.
Charging & Battery Care
Treat the battery well and it will serve you for many seasons. Follow the charging sequence exactly and keep the cells topped up between rounds.
Charging the main battery
- Plug the battery into the charger first.
- Confirm the battery LEDs illuminate, showing a proper connection.
- Plug the charger into the wall outlet.
- After charging, unplug the charger from the wall first, then disconnect the battery from the charger.
Charger LED states
- Never leave the battery in an uncharged state.
- Recharge after every golf outing, even if you only played 9 holes.
- Avoid leaving the battery uncharged for extended periods.
- Charge the battery every 30 days during inactivity.
Care & Maintenance
Five minutes of care after a round keeps your M-DHC running for years. Never use water under pressure.
Cleaning
- Never hose down the trolley.
- Never use a pressure washer on the trolley.
- Remove large debris with a cloth or air compressor.
- Wipe down using a clean, damp microfiber cloth.
- Regularly inspect and clean the wheels and axles so they turn freely.
- Clean out the battery tray regularly to ensure a secure connection.
Storage
- Disconnect the battery before storing for extended periods.
- Store the trolley and battery in a dry location.
- Keep components away from standing water and extreme temperatures.
Lubrication
- Lubricate the rear wheel axles regularly.
- Remove the rear wheels by depressing the spring clip and pulling the wheel off.

Troubleshooting
Most issues resolve with a few quick checks. Work through the relevant list before contacting support.
Trolley veers to one side
- Confirm the golf bag is balanced evenly.
- Make sure both drive wheels are fully engaged.
- Test on open, flat ground.
- If needed, very minor adjustments to the front axle may be needed.
Battery not charging
- Confirm the charger is plugged into a working outlet.
- Confirm the charger light is illuminated.
- Confirm the battery LEDs illuminate when connected to the charger.
- If the outlet has power and the charger is not functioning properly, the charger or power cable may be at fault.
Send Ahead does not engage
- Confirm the trolley is fully powered on and in standard Trolley Mode.
- Make sure the trolley is stopped and in Park before pressing and holding the dial.
- If the display does not show d1, release the dial, wait a few seconds, and try again.
Send Ahead behaviour is inconsistent
- Confirm the bag is balanced evenly.
- Confirm the path is flat or gently sloping, as heavy side slopes cause drift.
- Confirm both drive wheels are fully engaged.
- Test on open, flat ground first.
Trolley stops randomly (display off)
- Remove the battery from the battery tray.
- Clear out any debris inside the tray.
- Reseat the battery until it locks with a click.
