Safety recommendations for Power Assist mode

To enter the Remote Control mode, quickly press the button (the button will illuminate blue).

In Remote Control mode, use the control stick to control the speed and direction of the ForeCaddy. Move the control stick back to the middle or press to stop the ForeCaddy.

While in Follow mode, the following safety precautions should be followed:

1. NEVER use Follow mode when the golfer is behind the ForeCaddy. Always make sure there are no obstacles between the ForeCaddy and remote control prior to use.
2. NEVER use Follow mode around tee boxes, greens, or steep terrain. Use Follow mode ONLY when past the teeing area and before the green. (For more information, see mode usage on page 16.)
3. For best results, be sure to wear the remote control on a belt on the backside of the hip to insure it has close, unobstructed access to the cart. You don’t need to see the buttons to operate them; simply practice switching from green to blue and back again by pressing each button on the remote.
