Safety recommendations for Power Assist mode

Press the Power Assist button or the stop button on the remote control to stop the ForeCaddy. The ForeCaddy will automatically switch to standby mode if its distance from the remote exceeds 10 feet.

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.

Safety recommendations for Follow mode

WARNING: Follow mode must only be used on an open field or fairway.

PLEASE NOTE: It is normal for the ForeCaddy to “weave” slightly while in Follow Mode. When encountering obstructions that may be close to this 15 foot-wide safety zone, reduce your walking speed. The cart will also slow down and will weave less.

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.

Safety clearance in Follow mode

While using Follow mode, always allow for 7.5 feet of obstruction-free space on both sides of the ForeCaddy for safe operation.

Operating ranges in Follow mode

Please observe the following range limits when operating the ForeCaddy in Follow mode.

 

WARNING: When encountering obstructions that may be close to this 15 wide safety zone, reduce your walking speed. The cart will also slow down.
