ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
X8Pro & X8R
1. Unpack all items carefully and check inventory. Place frame structure (one piece)
on soft clean ground to protect the frame from being scratched.
2. Attach rear wheels to axles by pushing the wheel locking button (Pic-1)
on the outside of the wheel and inserting the axle extension in to the wheel.
Make sure to keep the locking button on the outside of the wheel
pushed in during this process, in order to enable the axle extensions,
including the four pins (Pic-2), to be inserted all the way into the
axle sprocket. If not locked in, the wheel will not be connected to the
motor and will not be propelled! Test the lock by trying to pull the wheel out.
Note; the X8 caddy has a right (R) and a left (L) wheel, seen from behind in driving
direction. Please make sure that the wheels are assembled on the correct side,
so the wheel tread will match each other (Pic-3) as well as the front & anti-tip
wheels. To disassemble the wheels, proceed in reverse order.

Pic-1 Pic-2 Pic-3

3. Erect the frame by first unfolding and connecting the main frame sections
together at the upper frame lock by fastening the upper frame locking knob
(Pic-5). The lower frame connection stays loose and will be in place once the golf
bag is attached (Pic-6). Proceed in reverse for folding the caddy.

4. Place the battery pack on the battery
tray. Insert the 3-prong battery plug
into the caddy outlet so the notch
aligns properly and attach T-connector onto the battery.

Then attach Velcro strap. Tightly fasten the Velcro strap

underneath the battery tray and around the battery. It is
recommended that you DO NOT fasten the screw on the plug
to the outlet, so in case of tip-over, the cable can unplug from
the socket.
Note: BEFORE CONNECTING make sure that caddy power is OFF, Rheostat Speed
Control is in OFF position and the remote control is stored securely!

5. Insert anti-tip wheel into holding bar on motor housing and

secure with pin.

start the Caddy in forward motion. Pushing the UP BUTTON again will increase the
Caddy’s forward speed one level. Your Caddy has 9 forward speeds. Pushing the
DOWN BUTTON will lower the forward speed one level.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:

1. Your Bat-Caddy comes with an automatic shut-down feature to help prevent “run-away”
Caddys when operating remotely. If the caddy does not receive a signal from the Re-
mote-Control after the last button push for approximately 40 seconds, it will assume the
caddy has lost contact and stop automatically. If this happens simply push any button on
the Remote-Control to resume operation.
2. While the maximum range for your Bat-Caddy to receive a signal from your Remote-
Control is 80-100 yards, this range is in perfect “laboratory” conditions. It is strongly
recommended that you operate your Bat-Caddy at a maximum of 20-30 yards. This will
help prevent any signal interference and/or loss of control.

SYNCHRONIZING YOUR REMOTE:

If your Bat-Caddy will not respond to your Remote-Control it may need to be resynchronized.
A. Power off your Bat-Caddy for 5 seconds.
B. Turn on your Remote-Control
C. Press and hold down the STOP button on the Remote-Control
D. Press and hold down the ON/OFF button on the Control Panel until the green LED light
under the battery symbol begins to blink.
E. Release both buttons
F. Your Caddy and Remote-Control are now synched and ready to go.

Additional Functions
Freewheeling Mode: The caddy can be easily operated without power. In order to activate
the freewheeling mode, turn main power OFF. Then Release
disengage rear wheels from motor/gearbox and
sliding the wheel from the inner grove (Pic-1)on the
Pic-1 Pic-2
axle to the outer grove (Pic-2). Make sure wheel is
secure in the outer curve. The caddy now can be pushed manually with
little resistance.
Tracking Adjustment*: Tracking behavior of all electric caddies is
strongly dependent on equal weight distribution on the caddy and
slope/topography of the golf course. Test your caddy’s tracking
by operating it on a level surface without the bag. If changes are
necessary, you can adjust the tracking of your caddy by loosening
the front wheel axle and the Adjustment bar on the right side of
the from wheel and shifting the axle accordingly. After such
adjustment fasten screws in reverse order but do not over-tighten. AXLE
ADJUSTMENT BAR
*Tracking - there is a video on the website that shows how to adjust tracking

USB port is available for charging GPS and/or cell phones. It is

located in the end cap of the upper frame above the handle control.

Braking System
The caddy drive train is designed to keep the wheels engaged with the motor, thus acting
as a brake that will control the caddy’s speed while going downhill.

Testing Your Caddy
Test Environment
Make sure that you perform your first test of the caddy in a wide and safe area, free of
obstructions or valuables, such as people, parked automobiles, flowing traffic, bodies of
water (rivers, swimming pools, etc.), steep hills, cliffs or similar hazards.

Recommendations for Efficient and Safe Operation

• Be alert and act responsibly at all times while operating your caddy, just as you would
when operating a riding cart, motor vehicle, or any other type of machinery. We absolutely
do not recommend the consumption of alcohol or any other impairing substances
while operating our caddies.
• DO NOT operate the caddy carelessly or in narrow or dangerous places. Avoid using your
caddy in places where people may gather, such as parking lots, drop-off areas, or practice
areas, to avoid damage to people or valuables. We recommend operating your caddy
manually in crowded areas with or without power. Please make sure to always switch off
the power and secure the caddy when you are through or when not in use.

General Maintenance
All of these recommendations, along with common sense, will help keep your Bat-Caddy in
top condition and ensure that it remains your reliable partner, both on and off the links.
• The Bat-Caddy has been designed so that the user can concentrate on playing golf, while
the caddy does the work of carrying your bag. In order to keep your Bat-Caddy looking its
best, wipe any mud or grass from the frame, wheels and chassis after every round using
a damp cloth or paper towel.
• NEVER use water hoses or high-pressure jet washers to clean your caddy to prevent
moisture from entering the electronic systems, motors, or gear boxes.
• Remove the rear wheels every few weeks and clean out any debris that may cause the
wheels to drag. You may apply some lubricant, such WD-40, to keep moving parts smooth
and corrosion-free.
• A 4 to 5 hour round of golf played once a week for 12 months is equivalent to approximately
four years’ use of a lawn mower. Thoroughly inspect your cart at least once a year, and if
you notice any symptoms of wear, contact your Bat-Caddy Service Center. Alternatively,
you can have your caddy inspected and tuned at our Service Centers, so it’s always in
great shape for the new season.
